If you need power to back up a bad ass nickname, my car's nickname would be fluffy pie.

its cool, but it seems a little unoriginal. Nicknames can't be forced, you gotta let them happen.

My first car (92 sho) was named the grocery getter, by one of my friends after we beat a kid in a riced out civic. he said "this four door grocery getter just smoked your **** pot".

My second car(94probe gts) had a terrible name but it will forever be "the anal probe." And again it was named by one of my friends.

My Gt now is the "Green monster", named by a die hard red sox fan after they beat my beloved yankees in the alcs two years ago.

my point is that you will know what your cars nickname is when it happens. Unfortunately it isn't always what you want it to be.

The only problem with the name nightmare is that it makes you expect a black car.

Click to expand...


I agree ... but I also think that a car can be compared to ... a child ... or pet, lol. In this case, it needs a name. Out of all the cars I've had, only 2 were named. My Stang's name is Carroll .... after one of my favorite race car drivers / designers (Carroll Shelby). Most people think it's named after a girl .... which is actually the traditional way.


My old red Ranger (V6 + Eaton M-90 ) was named Hurricane by my cousin .... because:

1. It was quick.

2. It was red with a black hood (hurricane flag is red with a black square in the middle).

3. I'm in NC (Carolina Hurricane's -- hockey team).



Nacho .... that truck is long gone ... so you can use that name if you want. Afterall, your car looks like a hurricane flag!

Jinx, go to bed and let the grown ups talk in peace. lol
Incubus' definition is pretty cool. Hurricane is also pretty cool too. Don't know yet. I call it "El Ferrari" but I really don't want to call it that in front of everyone. lol, I'll be getting some NOS to back up the name for a while. I'm not always going to win anyways.

Thanks on the compliment about the hood. I waited so long to get it off of Mike(oink) that Paul hooked me up with the black paint so I could get it on there.

Keith, I haven't even used the Tweecer. I'm waiting for the swap so I only have to figure it out once.
