You misunderstood my point, I'm not pro long names, I'm pro descriptive 
names, It can be short if descriptive:

for o, c in cars:
    park(o)
    phone(c)

for owner, car in cars: # by just using meaningful names you give the 
info to the reader that you expect cars to be a list of tuple (owner, car)
    park(owner)
    phone(car) # see how it is easier to spot bug
