You caught me.

Besides, what I do with my Z is my business.

Strega! This is an Italian word, which means roughly "witch" or maybe something worse than this.

We named her during the test drive. My wife had her eye on a Miata and I wanted to test the Z first. A dealer had one with 4k on the clock that we took for a test drive. We drove around a bit and I got on a highway off ramp and dropped the hammer in 3rd gear for a nice sprint from about 30 to maybe 90 with a 3-4 shift.

My wife squealed with glee as the wind rushed past and we were pressed into the seats. The exhaust had a nice rumble that turned into a scream as we went.

Coming off the Miata test drive it was quite a rush. The Z is a very pretty car with great curves and a big wide stance. She's a real beauty. But then when you step on it she turns into a roaring beast! My wife exclaimed "what a Strega!". The change in personality was amazing.

My pride and joy, my Fair Lady, I named her: Quicksilver...

That is, until my buddy looked at my crazy for naming my car. So let me ask you guys, do you name your cars?

Hazel... stripper name. Hot, fun and nothing but trouble.

livethefunk · 06-28-2012, 11:07 AM

Red Z so I named her Madeline.

My 2009 Z was named Igloo last summer when my G3 intakes rubbed a hole in my AC line, and I was without AC for 10 days in the scorching AZ heat.

After it was totaled, my awesome service manager named the new Z Isis, and I really like this name.

For those who do, I just want to understand the concept of naming your cars. What did you name yours and why? Thought it would be interesting to know.

I thought of naming mine but my wife calls it The Mistress. She was the one who named it. I'm not fully sold on this but my wife is.

So far I like the translation of mistress in:

German --- Herrin sounds like a guy
Japanese --- Aijin
Swedish -- alskarrina (karrina sounds good)
