OK, that's not a real vote, just appreciation. So many good entries though, with no fewer than three Teslas. I wish one had been the inventor and not the car.
My runners-up are Faiton @22 and Buddy @39. My vote goes to Paul @15 for my favorite of the hiddens, and for my daughter, Alison.
For me this week has been one if the hardest ever to call.
So many excellent clues; my shortlist is possibly the longest ever with Mattrom 5, the Prof 20, Paul H 25, Tyke 29, Jon 30, Fiery 33, and Buddy 39.
