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.

lol reminds me of a B.B. King story. I'm paraphrasing, but it had to do with a woman who got "BB" tattooed on her rump, one "B" on each cheek. B.B. looked at it and said, "That's nice. But who's Bob?"

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".

Default Did you pick weird names for your cars?

I'm just curious are to what names you've had for your cars ( not just the Z's)
I think mine are nerdy so I had to share haha

98 Neon (Purple)- Purple People Eater
03 Dodge Neon ( Black)- Jason C@sh
05 Dodge Neon SRT Edition ( Burnt Orange) -Jason C@sh 2
04 Nissan 350Z ( Pearl White) - Zekiel.
09 Nissan 370Z ( Mag Black) - Zeus

Sorry if you think this is boring ( or maybe a re-thread) but I'm currently bored....the Saints vs Vikings game is boring the crap outta me Thought it'd be much better than this!

^ guess you're a rare one. Just like people calling their car a "she", it's just something people do.

Man, when you pick a model you stick with it. What happend the neons? Did the dodge dealer not want to sell you a 4th? Or this your M.O.? is there one more Z in your future and then on to another make and model? LOL

haha..I'm sticking with Nissan 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
