Some of my previous cars had names. I had a Mustang named Sally, a old Ford named Betsy, but I only call my Q45 "Q". Do you have a name for your car?

I call my Ranger the Piece of Sh*t. It's really a pretty good truck, but compared to the Max...it just doesn't look good.

My Max...it's the Maxima. Seems like a pretty damn good name to me.

My old '84 Cadillac was "The Beast". In more ways than one.

Is it possibly because on the Muppets, Animal was the drummer for the rock band?

one of my Skylines was Frankenstein due to the inordinate way I assembled it out of dead cars.

another one was the Purple Nurple because it was purple and grated on others the way a PN would.

We had Gater, it had an actuator dump commonly called a Gater, soo loud!

Thumper was another, it had blown subframe bushings and on shifts would thump the floor.

Damien was my Silvia, it was black, license plate was 666 and it was all black, oh yes and EEEEVIL!

My bike is stinger, it's a Honda Hornet and it really stings guys who don't read the "600" on the tail and mistake it for a 400.

I haven't named my car but my friends have named it Burna because I did so many burnouts and drifts when he was in the car. The other name is UFHB which I'll let you figure out, hint "Ultra Fast H Box".

I think we're all guilty of that one

As for the name....I just call it the Z. I've never been one to name my cars.

I call my Nissan hardbody 'truck' and I haven't really come up with a name for my 240. I was gonna call her Kim just 'cause she's built in Japan but it doesn't sound right. I'm open to suggestions.lol
