Naming things. H'mm. Seems to me I remember a Bob Hope clip from the Johnny Carson Show. He's talking to Jayne Mansfield, admiring her legs. She says, "I like them so well I give them each names" Bob says, "Oh yeah? What do you call 'em?" Jayne says, "Well I name the right one 'Christmas' and the left one 'Easter'"
Bob says... "Remind me sometime and I'll drop in between the holidays!" -- Had a few cars that earned names. An early 1959 Mercedes we named "Hilda". A 1964 Volvo 1800 that became "Trundlewort" A 1963 Alfa Giulietta that became "Jewel". A 1984 Prelude that became "Maytag." A turbocharged 1994 Miata that became "Bandersnatch". A 1963 Porsche 356B coupe that we called "That piece of sh*t." A 1992 Audi S4 sedan that became "Big Red" or "Red Sled". A 2005 RX-8 that became "Hummmmm." A 2001 Mercedes 320SLK that became "Silkie" and a 2001 Audi TT 225 that we called "Ttroll." A 2001 Audi S4 Avant that we call "S'Avant" So far the Z has not earned a name. It's the Zee. Maybe after we hit 10,000 miles something will come to us. |

I call my Z "Chiana" or "Pip" amongst my friends. I'm a nerd, and it's a Farscape reference. So sue me. At work, I refer to the Z as "the Beast". |

I did love my Neon's tho..they weren't very fast, obviously, but I had the best neon's in the state ( with bragging rights ) BUT..after my 3rd Neon...a year or so later..I seen a gorgeous white coupe at a used Pontiac dealership....I seen it at night and was like " I WANT IT!!! I"MA BUY IT!!" Husband said" no you aint..." I said "WATCH..." He called me on his way home from work the next day, I said " Get me some car soap cuz my white car needs to be shinier...." He didn't talk at all... BUT I SAID " I told you I was gonna buy it" LMAO HE WAS TICKED! Anyways.... yea..after 4-5 more years..I'm looking into Audi's....but still keeping the Z
