Thin Lizzie vs Tin Lizzie

After putting up my post earlier today re Johnny's Fox and Thin Lizzy's TUSSH, it occurred to me the little play with words re: Thin Lizzy vs Tin Lizzy.  Hmmm, a little bit of a car theme happening... check my previous post re the VW Fox.  This definitely warrants further research, so I Googled Tin Lizzy and found the following from the site re http://history1900s.about.com/b/2007/08/15/did-you-knowthe-nickname-tin-lizzie.htm:
Priced so that the average American could afford it, Henry Ford sold his Model T from 1908 until 1927. Many also may know the Model T by its nickname, the "Tin Lizzie." But how did the Model T get its nickname?In the early 1900s, car dealers would try to create publicity for their new automobiles by hosting car races. In 1922, a championship race was held in Pikes Peak, Colorado. Entered as one of the contestants was Noel Bullock and his Model T, named "Old Liz." Since Old Liz looked the worse for wear (it was unpainted and lacked a hood), many spectators compared Old Liz to a tin can. By the start of the race, the car had the new nickame of "Tin Lizzie." To everyone's surprise, Tin Lizzie won the race.
Of course the year of the race is significant -- the twin 22 being a particular inner twin trade mark signature.  Note the name "Noel"... audd that this would crop up considering yesterdays post entitled:  Noël Lee RIIP: No Elle in History Butt One in Herstory.  

Note the following excerpt from Pikes Peak wiki page:
Originally called "El Capitán" by Spanish settlers, the mountain was renamed Pike's Peak after Zebulon Pike, Jr., an explorer who led an expedition to the southern Colorado area in 1806. The Arapaho name is heey-otoyoo’ ("long mountain"). 
So we've moved from "long beach" to "long mountain"... and I like the "Elle" Capitan ;-)(-;... hmm and didn't the name Zebulon crop up in one of my posts nott too long ago?!  Yep, my July 12th post re: Zeb Alley RIIP, the Allee Whey.  Hmmm, alley's are narrow, "long" ways, note the following excerpt from the post:
Since Zebulon goes by "Zeb", I decided to throw this out to the etymology of names site, note the following:
The name Zeb was not found. Names that sound similar to ZEB:
XABI   m   Basque diminutive of XAVIERDerived from the Basque place name Etxaberri meaning "the new house". 
ZIBA (1)   f   Iranian Means "beautiful" in Persian.
ZIBA (2)   m   Biblical Means "station" in Hebrew
ZIBIAH   f   Biblical Means "roe, deer" in Hebrew
First of all, there's the reference to "the new house", meaningful when you consider that the main crux of the inner twin world's coming out and communicating to us at this point in time is because of an all important message-- they want us to design and construct a "new house"... butt nott your ordinary house. 
I had forgot to post the etymology of Zebulon http://www.behindthename.com/name/zebulun:
Means "exaltation" in Hebrew. Zebulun is the tenth son of Jacob in the Old Testament and the ancestor of one of the twelve tribes of Israel. This is also the name of a plain in Israel. 
We're on a "letter" theme as well... first "L" and now "T".  In my earlier post re Noel, I mentioned how it's phonetically identical to "No Elle" (no she)... butt it is also identical to "No L"... as in the lack of letter L.  The original letter L was the image of a shepherds staff/cane originally called lamed.
So maybee... no lamed... no staff
