[mustangGT03281]

what do you mean by name? a project name?(like mine, super pinto) or what kind of stang is it?

 

[t_chelle16]

It's kind of hard to name a car w/o seeing it in person. I know cars are inadamate objects, but they still have personality (at least some of them) and it's up to you to decide what that personality is and what name fits it.

Good point.

The chick was abot 20 on a 10 point scale though so when I see her again and she asks (God knows she will as women never forget suchs things) then I will continue to tell her it is named kim. As for my current GF, as far as she is concerned the car has no name.

My first impression upon seeing the pic was 'Betty'. Anyway, whatever you pick, just don't use
MA-CHEESE-MO...

Hmmm, when I look at it I think Shelly, because of the Shelbiesque LeMans stripes maybe.

Of course it can be spelt a variety of ways as well.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I can't stand it when people refer to their car with some sort of name. Its really bad when they keep repeating it. "I changed her oil, put some new tires on her, she needs a tune-up but she's gonna have to wait." Argh, give it rest man! I just call 'em like I see 'em, its a mustang, so thats what I call 'it'. It has no gender, its a car!

"I changed mustang's oil, put some new tires on mustang, mustang needs a tune-up but mustang's gonna have to wait."

Mmmm, I see your point, that is soooo much more tolerable, not so bad at all. I could listen to that all day.

 

[302 coupe]

you're taking that a little too far..... Like I said, I'm probably in the minority on this one. Its just dumb to build a hopped up muscle car and name it Jasmine or some crap like that. On the other hand, you can't build a tough ride and give it a guy's name. You would NOT want to be heard saying "I need to give Doug a lube job." Thats why I leave it at "it."

I think that is exactly how using girl's names came about, that and the cars are very tempermental like women and can often make you miserable if they aren't treated properly.

I always thought it was kind of cool actually, except for that dreaded "E" name.

 

[302 coupe]

My car is dependable, simple, easy to figure out, and is always there when I need it. I have yet to meet a female that has these properties. If/when I do, I'll just start calling her Mustang

LOL at 302coupe. I'm with ya brother. I don't know anybody that has named their car since high school that wasn't a chick. Sorry, but I think it is dopey as hell..LOL!

 

[302 coupe]

Speaking of high school car naming, one kid at my school had a beat up mid-80's C10, with a windshield banner that boldly proclaimed "Country Boy", stupid.....
Another kid had a lifted Z71, proudly named Hi Rollin'......that really gets on my nerves, kinda like the airbrushed tags that some people get at local fairs, "Cletus and Tinker" or wtf ever they scribble on there. Come to think, a car with any kind of name attached to it strikes a nerve with me. Its a little different if the owner is a girl, because its cute if a girl does it. It just doesn't seem right when a guy does it though.

I've got a bad feeling I'm gonna get flamed outta my socks for writing that....oh well

yeah but when you spend more money on your stang then you spend on your girlfriend or wife, you might as well give it a name, that way you dont feel so bad about dumping so much cash into a machine

The only way I'm naming it is if the IRS lets me claim it as a dependent.

I was in high school during the custom van era, where every custom paint job was nasty metal flake, all the camaros hos grotesque fender flares(they were already rusted in minnesota anyway), and people would pinstripe inane crap like "Golden Angel Dreamer Baby" on their vans.

Anytime I see todays youth getting all jiggy for the seventies and ABBA tunes, I wanna explain how it really was.
