What did you name your car?

Post by Pablo1669 »

What has everyone named their car? I was thinking of calling mine something to do with the fact that it's silver, but I just can't think of anything. I'll probably just stick to calling her Emily.

OK this is really weird. Over the past few days I've been trying to think up a name for mine. I have it narrowed down to two choices. They are, and this is where it gets weird, Amélie or Titan.Both are close to names up there ^.Amélie after the quirky girl in the quirky movie. Titan after a moon of Saturn.Must be a Vibe thing.

quote:You name stealer! I have an Emily too..no way, Crazy. I didn't know that was the name of your car. I actually like that name a lot. Since i'm not positive yet, my other choice is Sarah. hopefully someone doesn't already have that name too, for the sake of being original

There is already rust where many of the chips are, not to mention the latch and leading edge under the hood. Oh yeah, I've been to Michigan in my car once, for a month. Since I live in SC right now, I'm a little flustered.

for total lack of imagination, I call mine "the car". I like my Vibe, but I think "Vibe" is a stupid name. Whatever you name it, it should be something you're not embarrassed to say out loud. Saying "How do you like my Vibe" sounds like a bad pickup line from a disco. A variation on this is that you should never name a pet something that you'd be ashamed to yell in public. Used to have a neighbor who was a real 60's throwback, hair and beard both down to the beltline. He named his black cat after ArchBishop Desmond Tutu, and it was ironic to see this guy on his porch calling "Tutu, Tutu!"

I have posted about my giant tire swap under the title "Big Boots", but I could also go with Bigfoot, only that's a F*** monster truck. If I spring the (gasp) 4K for the paint job I had planned, it might be "Yellow Peril" or "Electric Banana" or ? Decisions, decisions...
