I know everyone has a nickname for their car. It gives them personality and sets it apart from everyone else's. So just for fun list your car, it's nickname, and why you chose it.

I'll start:

Car: 1989 supra
Name: Jennifer
Why: I just thought of it off my head, but later figured out an abbreviation for it. "JZ extreme never needing internally forged engine rebuilding" :rolleyes:

Car: 1988 Astro
Name: Astro aka Nastro van
Why: Its sick

95 eddie bauer explorer-Bruiser-it almost totaled a civic that ran into me and only had some minor cosmetic damage
97 acura integra-Someone else actually came up with the nick "Casper"-For my first 3 shoots of it,the backgrounds were a graveyard,and two abandoned factories.
90 Awd 1g talon-Undecided but i came up with atilla after like attila the hun because i think the til hun said fast sounds like talon to me.

'93 Dodge Spirit: Gaggaberry, Gaggy for short. It's a long story, don't ask.
'03.5 MSP: Gunner. I don't really know how it got its name, though I just as often referred to it as 'the MSP' or '**** you, you goddamn worthless piece of ****'.
'05 G35 Coupe: Garrett. Had to keep with the running G theme, and it's a snobby enough name to suit an Infiniti, though I just as often refer to it as 'the G'.

My entire family has ALWAYS named their cars. For example, at the moment .. My mom's Dodge Caravan is Gigi, my dad's Mazda Protege is Sprocket, my dad's Toyota Tundra is Gus, and my sister's Toyota Tacoma is Storm.

Car : 1996 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD
Name : Stinky
Why : 3" turboback, No cat with a wastegate dump tube. My girlfriend would complain about the smell of the exhaust after a pull or in traffic sometimes, so Stinky became the car's nickname.

I call my element "my box" (My plate is MYBIGBOX)
We had a 5th gen teal civic my husband called "Team Teal" also his plate
Which lead to a brown 4th gen civic sedan being called "Team Turd"
We had a 4th gen civic hatch we called "Old Blue"
My 6th gen civic we called "The Civic Import Racer" once in front of my mom, who then told someone that was the model... so it stuck.

I have got to say that the STI should NEVER EVER EEVVEERR be pronounced like the filthy place where a pig lives. Each letter must be spoken, CLEARLY, and with pride. :-p

The Baja has no name. It's just the Baja. Frankentruck is starting to stick in my mind though. A monstrosity pieced together by a mad genius (Ryan) that will eventually scare the hell out of unknowing motorists EVERYWHERE! (and not break anymore :lol:)

Let's see:

the RSX = "Blacura" (named by others)
the gtp = "G-Tip" (named by others) "Silver Bullet" was sometimes used too
my old thunderbird...t-bird (duh)
my 300zx was just "the Z"
my old Grand Am was nameless
and finally my first car, the 86 Volvo 240DL (the dl is important folks) was

drumroll please

"The White Weed Machine"

Named by others. And indicative of my high school career. Of course by weed I mean that I worked as a landscaper. Sometimes.

My 914 was called the world's fastest shelf by several people because it spent more time in the garage not running than it did running, so it always had a few boxes of random car parts on it.

My '98 ZX2 and '00 ZX2 S/R were called BOSS122 based on the Infamous Don Howard's suggestion. One of his sponsors did a bunch of neons up on the old 60's MOPAR car styles(AAR cuda stripes, steel wheels, 60's and 70's MOPAR colors, etc...) and he said I shoudl do the same with the ZX2's, an older Ford Mustang BOSS 302/351 style with the stripes that go over the hood, down the fenders, and along the bottom of the doors.

Yes, I know the ZX2 was actually closer to 121 cid, but the 122 stuck.
