I also like the _type thing for same reason as above. (in C, many use _t ).

Note in languages that are case sensitive, like Java, the convention is
to use an Upper case first littler for a class name (at leat in Java that
is what everyone does). So, the above is written like this:

Car car;


problem solved :)
