Why is there a Tiger in our Car?
We get this question pretty often so we decided to shine some light on our name's origin. There is an old country singer by the name of Roger Miller who has done some wonderful songs which I (Morgan) grew up listening to and then was able to introduce Jena to his work. Some of his well-known songs would be "King of the Road" or "Chug-a-Lug" and the soundtrack for Disney's Robin Hood. One of his songs which may not be as well known to the general public is "You can't Rollerskate in a Buffalo Herd" which has the line "you can't drive around with a tiger in your car, but you can be happy if you've a mind to." The whole song really struck home with us but we decided we could have our cake and eat it too. Although in reality we are not driving around with a real live tiger in our car it is the thought of being able to do whatever we want and be happy doing whatever it may be. Here is the song for your pleasure:
