Why are delegates called using the Class names and not the Class reference variable? For example this delegate from Car class

public delegate void CarEngineHandler(string msg);

static void Main(string[] args) 
{
    Car c1 = new Car();
    //error
    c1.Explode += new c1.CarEngineHandler(CallMyName);

    //okay
    c1.Explode += new Car.CarEngineHandler(CallMyName);
}

Because it is a type, not a variable.
