language-agnostic

Lets assume we have a class car.
How would You name parameters of function that takes two different cars?

void Race(Car first, Car second);

or maybe

void Race(Car car1, Car car2);

The same situation with function that takes car and list of cars as a parameters.
I'm used to name 'cars' for list of cars, so it is inconvenient to use names like:

void Race(Car car, List<Car> cars);

Any suggestions about names?

I have always been skeptical of rewriting working code - porting code is no exception to this. However, with the advent of TDD and automated testing it is much more reasonable to rewrite and refactor code. Does anyone know if there is a TDD tool that can be used for porting old code?
