Re: Have you named your Cars?
I kinda dont have a set name, but i've been refering to it as Black Widow alittle.
Last year it was just refered to as Beast...
Now with the twin turbo setup, my buddy calls it Vader since he's a star wars buff and I'm not. It is kinda fitting tho..its pretty bad *** and evil

Re: Have you named your Cars?
I had Quicksilver on the side of my car for a few years. I saw the name on a truck and thought it would make a good race car name. I kept hurting engines so just after the second Pirates of the Caribbean came out, I figured since my car was cursed, I changed the name to Black Pearl. A few years having that name, the parts stopped breaking so I decided to strip the name and all the decals off the car and give it a flat black paint job with flames.
The car currently has no name although I may write Elvira somewhere on it this winter. I have still have the skull and crossbones license plate on the rear.

I call mine my "rusted out s***box" 
(In an affectionate way of course, I love my car. And it's a movie quote, so don't worry too much lol)

Re: Have you named your Cars?
reasons to name your car a female name instead of male:
1) like my girl.. don't mess with my car
2) no one drives my car but me
3) she's a beauty
4) she costs a lot.. but she's worth it.
.. i don't know.. more ideas??

Re: Have you named your Cars?
My Camaro is named Ellie, or my child, but now shes off the road, even though she was NEVER nice to me and i was always nice to her and even though shes not even registered to drive i still have her parked in my complex. My T/A is named Ruby, but my friends call her the devil because like my Camaro, she always breaks, no matter how much time/money i spend she always breaks.

Cars and women are all the same. No matter how much stuff you buy 'em they're always making you dig in your pockets for more.
Just remember, she ain't no trailer queen.....she's my street b1tch
