I used to name all my racing boats; White Lightnin', Blu by u, Going going Gone but I never have named my car until now. So mine is "Bad Asp" which I doubt is original but I took it anyway. And even though my garage only has one hot rod under it's belt, I'm calling it "Bad Asp Hot Rod Shop". What's yours called? :cool::cool::cool:

Mine is called "Emma" after my grandmother. She was all of 5' tall and raised 5 hell raising boys but didn't take an ounce of crap from any of them. NOBODY talked back to her and she both earned and demanded respect. When she was finished with her boys (including my dad) she set about teaching my mom and my aunts how to keep me, my two brother and her hoard of other grandkids in shape. Anyone who ever met her would agree that the roar of the Roadster is a fitting tribute.

I got the idea from someone else, but I used the middle name of the young man that helped me build it. My son's middle name is Alan, and that's what we call the Coupe.

I used to have a ball python that my then girlfriend (now wife) called Snakely Snakerson. The python left before we got married, but i decided i'm going to name the roadster the same. It makes me chuckle.

After watching Pete's Dragon, my kids named it "Elliot"

They're both two-tone green, belch fire, and owned by a red-headed guy named Pete ;)

You know how sometimes you see a vanity plate and can't quite get it. Well the only name I have had trouble figuring out so far is "Hisssy". It might be a snake sound which makes sense but I remember my grandmother saying, "the boy is having a hissy fit" when I would act up. But I didn't understand the origin of hissy fit, either. Maybe someone will clarify. So is it a snake sound?

WEK.

My MKII FFR is named Mona. She parks nose to tail in my garage with my Z3 Coupe. amd there are only inches to spare. So I end up hand-pushing both cars into position each time. Mona's brake pads have a habit of dragging a bit on the rotors, and so she moans when I nudge her across the floor.

Plate says it all. Another snake related vanity plate, but this one has a Harry Potter twist to it.

Never have thought of it as a official name but it does get called the "Money Pit" often. Sometimes I include its location 4" off the floor.

So back in the 70's I went for a ride in a hydroplane that had to much horsepower. I was sure I had seen my last sunrise. Fast forward. The color is Plum and the driver is Loco. (the plate is as close as I could get it) The second car is a Fiat Dino. Her name is "Sofia" nothing like an Italian movie star with nice curves, just like the car. The car is a little tempermental, but so is Sofia.

Once upon a time I owned (and raced) a sweet sounding semi Yoshimura 750 Honda named ThunderDog. Maybe its time to re-use that one.

If you have ever seen a live cobra snake, it hisses. Therefore, "HISSSY"

Mike,
I can't say I have but I will take your word for it!! Hisssy is a good car name esp for this one. Hey I haven't seen a live cobra but I did see a Cobra bite ont the other forum. It was on the lower back of the calf. I would say a third degree burn (not a pretty sight). See ya later, WEK.

My coupe is named Elvira, after the busty "Elvira, Mistress of the Dark", hostess of a tv horror show some years back. She had black hair, black dress and voluptuous curves everywhere that counts ...

I've named mine, "Gumball". Hopefully I will be able to put that on my plate when it is done.

Gwen is the name I chose,... after Gwen Stacy Spider-man's one true love,... No it's not Mary Jane.
Another name is spider mobile,.. but only for those who realize this Spider design is from the black Spider-man costume...
