Not typically, but this one I've been referring to as the Banshee. WOT the sound it makes is best described as a banshee escaping the pits of hell lol

I also have the "Kawasaki" and the "Suzuki"
Pretty creative

Lol. Naming cars like it was a cabbage patch. Make a birth certificate while you're at it.

I resemble that! lol To some people, their sports car is not just some sports car. Just my opinion as to why, to each their own, no need to poke fun because of insecurity.

True. Just as silly as those who put location as "I WAS a Premium Member" and drives a "WELL ZED PW 6MT." :tiphat:

MrGump 08-29-2016 11:35 PM

Nearby is Pathy

LOL That's my personalized plate. No silly name there bud. I also realized that nothing to be gained by being a premium member other than having access to what is widely available in the interwebs.

Carry on with naming your babies.

lies!!!! you know you miss the premium section. you're just in denial!

ZeeBabar 08-30-2016 07:44 AM

Naming a car? It came with a name!!!

I would think it is a sure way for owners of other cars to put down owners of Z's (and devalue it) as a car for juveniles and immature adults with time to spend coming up with names for a car and having discussions over it.

My 370z or my Zee or Nissan (if it's the only one you have) should do. Calling it an unrelated name is silly.

HEK 08-30-2016 08:48 AM

My wife calls my Z " mistress" as my mistress since I spend more time with her than wifey..:driving:

old guy 08-30-2016 09:22 AM

NO! Personally I would be embarrassed to refer to my car as any thing but " THE Z "
Don't be offended, ( maybe because I'm old ) but I don't get it.

lol not offended(not me anyway), you didn't enter and put down others who do name their cars, I respect that. To each their own, right? :tup:

SurfDog 08-30-2016 09:47 AM

well...
My wife calls it "Thatdamnsecondcaryouspendsomuchtimeandmoneyon "

My 7 year old calls it "Daddy's racecar!"

The kids at my older kids high school call it "Whoa is that your dad's car?"

The rich Porsche guys at the track call it "That frigging fast a$$ ricer" (they are usually naming it while being passed)

I just call it awesome.

OldGuyFla 08-30-2016 10:06 AM

As Old guy said The Z, it's not a name, just what it is!

Fuzzzy 08-30-2016 10:09 AM

Seems silly to me.

I once dated a girl who had named her car "Sputter." I think that is the only case I've ever seen where a car being named was appropriate. Or clever.

Rusty 08-30-2016 10:28 AM

The"Z", or "The Nismo".

The truck is the "PW" or "Power Wagon".

The Jeep is "The Jeep".

The bike is "The Bike", or "The VFR".

The motorhome is "The Cruisin' Condo", or "The Motorhome", or The Money Pit". When you buy 6 tires and the bill is over $4,000. You understand why.

mishuko 08-30-2016 10:29 AM

Ok I named her but I always say it's my 'Z'

or if I'm joking 'my summer wife'

the name of Alina is only there in spirit. It's my Z.

First of all this is not politically correct and it is not meant to be demeaning. All my black Z's are named one thing.

"The Black Bitch"

Great idea. Let's call our cars by the color followed by the "Bitch". I had a gunmetal Bitch and now it's a red bitch. Lol.

ZeeBabar 09-03-2016 08:08 PM
