I call my G35 Navi, but she refuses to call me Lain...

My wife calls my car Thomas -- as in Thomas the Tank Engine, because of the color. I keep telling her to knock it off because Thomas the Tank Engine is a slow-a** little choo choo train and the Z ain't no slow-a** machine. At that point she just laughs and says she's going to paint a big "1" on the side of my car.

I had a Pikes Peak White 03 350Z and my wife called it "The Flea"

The new Magnetic Black 09 370Z just got named yesterday to "Black Mamba" Dealer called yesterday and should be here in 2-3 weeks!

If I were single, my Z would be the Cherry Popper.

I think it's gay to give a car a name

I had a 1988 Olds Delta 88 red with a red vynal top. I named it Leontine. Seats like a couch. Oh the memories.....

FricFrac · 01-29-2009, 09:59 PM

I named my '81 280ZX "Kayla".... needless to say our first daughter was strangely named Kayla as well after the fact.... she wasn't to impressed that she was supposedly named after the car until I told her it was just a name I liked. That seemed to go over a little better

I suppose my next daughter will expect the 370Z to be named after her

I called my first car "Brown Piece of Sh!t". It was an honorary name.

My 97 LT1 Firebird I called "Damn IT! You broke again?"... Well, at least that was what I said the most around it.

My 2002 Trans Am I called "My Baby!" And she was!!! Until the tramp went off with someone else.

My 90 Z I call "Sweet Heart" because that's what you call girls when you want something... I just want Sweet Heart to start when I want to drive.
