What's your car's name, and where did it come from?

[techy101]

I poked around and didn't see a thread like this. So I'm sorry if it's a repost.

But like the title says, what is/are the name(s) of your car(s)? I'll start out.

ALICE is the name of my 2005 Forester XT. From the game American McGee's Alice. Also it's a nickname for the carputer that's installed (A.L.I.C.E.-Automotive Language Interpretation and Computing Engine)



The newest addition, the 1992 SVX LSL project car just got named last night. "River" is the chosen name from joss whedon's FireFly/Serenity.

1992 svx w/ a ton-o-mods... "The Shadow Machine" because all of my competition is well... in my shadows

[It's Just Eric]

my now defunct barcelona red 94 L "Red Rocket"...no explanation needed
my 96 brilliant red LS-I - "Dee Dee" coming from D.D., or daily driver. Also, deedee pickles wore a red dress
my ebony 92 LS-L "Harper" namely because when my friend originally picked it up, w traveled to Harper's ferry west virginia to get it. The name kinda stuck

I know someone here named theird lynx minx and something ese...there was a really good story behind the names

Descriptions of my car can be found in my signature. It's name is Road Demon and I named it that because of it's looks and the way it handles, drives, and sounds.

My one project car is named "Crispy" due to it having an engine fire and toasting everything under the hood.

Sometimes I refer to my SVX as the 'road runner' just because of the sound the horn makes when disarming the factory alarm.

Precious, self explanitory.

"'Rosie's Rocket" was purchased off Ebay in April 06 for the wife as she wanted a car with AWD. She has never taken much interest in any of the sport cars I have owned over the years. Once driving it she transformed into SVX Rose, a lady I never met before even after being married to her for almost 40 years ! Having been bit by the Svx bug myself, we just purchased "Green Queen" which will be a limited use, showcar, garage queen. I still find myself looking for available 97's and hoping that I have not been bitten as badly as Earl by the SVX BUG !

My SVX is Princess, but when she needs stuff I'll call her the Attention Wh ore. The Legacy is Elle, and the Brat is Rebecca, named after my grandmother.

I don't really have original names for any of the vehicles in the driveway. But...here ya go.

"Claret"- Claret SVX (bought from auction)

"Green"- Emerald Pearl SVX (Purchased from a network member)

"Homer"-86 RX (because it had a Homer Simpson in it when I bought it from a guy a few miles away)

"Tank"-68 Cadillac (been in family since bought brand new)

"Nightrider"- Fiero (purchased new by my uncle and he named it that)

The 300ZX doesn't have a name...yet.

We also have some vehicles that aren't in my signature that have names.

"The Magic Truck"-International box truck RV conversion (bought from a magician)

"Casper the Short Bus"-dodge extended van (because it's huge and white..bought from ebay)

"Limo bus"- (actually was a rental Limo bus that several celebrities used Garth Brooks was one of them) bought from a repo company

"Mini bus"-shuttle bus (for sale if anyone wants to buy it)

Yeah thats about it..

[nonSTOP_service]

My car doesn't REALLY have a name. I mean, I chose a fitting name for it, but we never use it. We just call it 'the svx' (though we pronounce the whole thing, "svix" it's a habit we have around here. BP is "buh-puh", PDQ is "puh-duh-quh")

BUT, I named my car "Komo" You see, the first time I ever saw an SVX, it was in a police chase video where he drove across a golf course and such. When I found the original news crew that got the TV, it was KOMOTV, and I thought; "That's such a silly name."

SO there ya go.

It's a shame that the biggest SVX celebrity had to be so abused. It hurts me to watch that video.

[subarufamily]

the beast came about after it got stuck in 16 inch of snow. it was a beast to get unstuck. (b*tch more like it) it further stuck on after it ran through a toyota camry. They turned in front of me and i ended the other cars life, only minor cosmetic damage to the beast. It has ss brake lines, k&n cold air intake, iridum plugs, d/s rotors,b&m transmission cooler and kevlar brake pads. it has plans to be further dressed as $ comes available

[-JJ-]

my SVX is Veronica, mainly because the V makes it cool , alternativley one with more insight might say... Veronica, a strong powerfull name, with siky undertones of beauty and a certain sexyness

yep,
jake

[Landshark]

i've said it many times before - people who name their cars scare the **** outta me.

BTW, my SVX was named Sir Roger Worcestershire.
