At first I thought you had a car named after yourself. I was compelled
to investigate further...

According to Wikipedia:

The Meyers Manx dune buggy is a small recreationally-oriented automobile,
designed initially for desert racing by Californian engineer, artist, boat builder
and surfer Bruce F. Meyers. It was produced by his Fountain Valley, California
company, B. F. Meyers & Co. from 1964 to 1971, in the form of car kits applied
to shortened chassis of Volkswagen Beetles.

The car line dominated dune racing in its time, breaking records immediately,
and was eventually also released in street-oriented models, until the company's
demise due to tax problems after Meyers's departure.[1]:118–123 New vehicles
inspired by the original Manx buggy have been produced by Meyers's re-founded
operation, Meyers Manx, Inc., since 2000.

The name and cat logo of the brand derives from the Manx cat, by virtue of the
tailless breed's and the shortened vehicle's truncated "stubbiness."
