Question SVX Pet Names?

What's your SVX's name?

How did you come up with that name?

What inspired you?

Or maybe it's like a bad girlfirend....takes all your money.

Or could it be that you are the bad one... using your "friend" to get girls (or guys)...???

Maybe you are like ICEDOUTSVX and would have sex with your SVX?

Maybe you just named it...cuz you think naming you car is cute.

Well whatever the reason, just let us know...this should be fun!


I'll begin by saying my mother began this thing with naming cars when I was little. She had this old Cream colored Ford Tempo GLS. She named that car Buck. That damn car lived through every Ice and snow storm, you could possibly imagine. We went everywhere in that car and it had no A/C. This car made it through muddy roads, through flooded roads, icy hills, and we even ran from a crazy lady tryin to hit us one time. Now this all happened aorund the time I was 5 years old until I was about 10...so these events seemed quite huge at the time...but it was still a hell of a car. We traveled back and forth from Nashville, TN. to Kansas many many times. Oh I'm not saying this car was "super car" and never had any problems...it had a crap load of problems.... but My Mom, my brother and I loved that car. I think when we finally retired that car over to her father (4 years ago) it had 210,000+. I looked at my mother as she looked for the last time at that old Ford and I could see tears in her eyes. For a moment I had felt that losing that car was like losing someone I had such fond memories with, and guess what... Buck still runs today!

She now drives a Black w/ Dark red leather interior 89 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme.... She has name this one Champ. She has grown to enjoy this car very much also, but nothing will ever outlive the legend of Buck.

Now, after you skipped that long paragraph cuz it looked exhausted, I'll finish up by saying....
I've named my car Cisceal ...
I know how to say it but I don't know if I'm spelling it right. ("C-I-S" is pronounced like the sound "Sys" and "C-E-A-L" is pronounced like the marine animal)

Reason: Becuase the car is sexy to me (not as sexy as ICEDOUTSVX thinks). But it's like a really fine girl...you could be sittin there eatin a ham sandwich and out of no where comes one of the most beautiful girls you have ever seen...and of course you stare......... and wanna ask her questions. Same with SVX.

Getting technical with it: In the name Cisceal there's there the leters E, A, L. The same leters of the word "Pearl"...and my car is considered Pearl Green. Also the name Cisceal isn't that common, just like the SVX.

I don't know maybe my reasons are dumb...but they are good enough for me and I think it fits quite well.

So what's yours?

-SVXJoe

Joe,

Both my SVXes are male, while the Outback is female...go figure.

Here are the names on their license plates:
97 SVX LSi - bordeaux pearl........'SUBYDOO'
92 SVX LSL - white/black pearl......'SVXY'
97 Outbaxk wagon - spruce pearl (green)/gray......'AH SO'

'AH SO' & 'SUBYDOO' have been going steady for about 2 years and are now an "item". 'SVXY' is 'SUBYDOO's' uncle.


Do I see an illustrated children's book here ?

One of the stories could be how 'SUBYDOO' saves America from becoming gridlocked by defeating his arch nemesis, that villanous GMORD, 'SUBEXPIGATOR', and his evil band of followers in S.U.V.

My SVX's name is Tamika.

My friend actually named her for me because I was having quite a time coming up with a name, and we were riding in the SVX one day and that old song from like 4 or 5 years ago "No Diggity" by Blackstreet was on the radio, and that name was featured in the song. My friend said "OK, since you are so indecisive about a name, Tamika will be your cars name." And it has been ever since.

Mike

I don't actually call my car by name, but the closest I've come is 'Sally.'

Sally was a car in an Isaac Asimov short story by the same name. In that story the cars had robotic brains, so they had actual personalities - and that's how I like to think of mine. Sally was very sophisticated and aloof and liked to be pampered. But she also protected her owner ferociously, almost to the point of her death.

Unfortunately, she was also a convertible. :P

That's partly why I don't actually use the name, except in my own head. The rest is because some of me still thinks it's a little silly to name a car.

i named my car Princess Pearlie because she is a high maintaince pain in the arss. then when my b/f backed her up into a tree, her new name became Dimples. Dimples was my name when i was younger because i have a dimple on one cheek. i just thought that i would pass the name down.

I am a pessimistic optimistic. I think the worst is going to happen, that way when it does, i don't feel as bad, but if the best happens, i am twice as happy.

Mine is named Penny, for obvious reasons....
Actually, her full name is MoneyPenny (because she's a moneypit), but she's called Penny for short.
She is the first car that I have named, or attributed a gender to. And she's part of me.... (maybe that's weird )
