Isn't Jalpa a city in Zacatecas, Mexico? I wonder why it is named Jalpa. Could somebody please research this for me?
I prefer the low grumble of an engine to that of a high whiner, because a whiner knows that they cannot accomplish their task, and a grumbler may not want to, but knows they can if they have to.

Wikipedia.org provides the following Lamborghini info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamborghini#The_bullfighting_legacy:
"After producing two cars with alphanumeric designations, the Miura was the first Lamborghini car to be linked to the art of bull fighting; it was named for a famous breeder of Spanish fighting bulls, Don Eduardo Miura. The Islero was named after the Miura bull that killed famed matador Manolete in 1947. The Espada was named for the matador's espada, the sword he uses to slay the bull, a word which is also used colloquially for the matadors themselves. The Jarama's name had an interesting double meaning: Jarama is an area renowned both for its bullfighting history and for its motor racing circuit.
After years of salutes to the world of bullfighting, Lamborghini broke from tradition in 1974. The Countach was named not for a bull, but for countach!, an exclamation of astonishment in the local Piedmontese language — generally used by men upon seeing an extremely beautiful woman. Legend has it that Nuccio Bertone uttered the word in surprise upon first laying eyes on "Project 112", which would become the Countach.
Later company owners reverted back to bullfighting associations. The Diablo was also named for a fighting bull, as was the Murciélago. The Gallardo is named for a bull caste ancestral to the Miura breed, and the rare Reventón carries the name of the bull that defeated matador Félix Guzmán in 1943."
According to jalpa.ch ( http://www.jalpa.ch/index.html), Jalpa is a famous breed of fighting bull.
