Most ridiculous question: Did you give your NSX a name?

My previous car, a '91 MR2 Turbo, was named Tetsua, after the character in the anime classic Akira. It was fitting. That car had (too much) character and a nasty temper.

My '91 NSX's name is Satine, after the prostitute in the musical Moulin Rouge. Not that I like musicals or Nicole Kidman, but because as far as I can tell I am her sixth owner, she has a sordid past, over 156k miles on the odo, and she's still GORGEOUS. :)

I call mine "the piece of sh*t" as I just bought it and it will cost me about
$10K to get the engine running again.


Name her Meagan then! thats my gold digging back stabbing ex-fiance':biggrin:

Im still thinkin of a name, i want it to just come to me one day out of nowere and have it just fit. For now its just "The X"
 
I don't get the naming thing... if it's not alive and breathing, and it can't answer when you call it, it doesn't get a name. I find it absolutely ridiculous to name a car, or even worse, a house. Gotta love walking down the road here near the ocean and seeing all the signs out in front of the cotteges like "The Windmere" and "Sandy Shores". *gag*

There's always gotta be spoilsport in the bunch ^^^^^^ J/K :wink:

I'm leaning towards "X". that's what I've been calling them for years. but my son calls it "daddy's VROOM VROOM".

I've named most of my cars though....
My Expedition was "The bullet"
My Navi was "the pavement princess" :rolleyes:
my mustang is "Bertha" :mad:
my F350 is "Big Blue" :cool:
my E-class is "princess" :redface:
my SL550 is "Lorinser" :cool:
and my sandrail is "Dune Poon" :wink:
 
A Girlfriend used to call my car "The Fine China" as she seemed to think I'd only take it out of the Garage for special occasions.

Once I was parked at a friends house & my mate's girlfriend was watering the lawn next to my car. Some little kids rode up on their bikes to check out my car as it's fairly rare in my parts. They said
"Wow, whose car is that?"

She said without hesitation, "Batman" (It's Black/Tinted etc) So now all the kids call it the "Batmobile"
 
I don't care for pet names for things like cars. For that matter, I don't like it when chicks want to name your wiener but, I usually let them prattle on as they like.
To each his own.:smile:
 
I have a Spa Yellow NSX and my aunt thought "Tweety" was an appropriate name. That was seven years ago and it has stuck.
 
For the nerd patrol.
My NSX is "spider"
My Mercedes is "butch"
My Lexus, GS is "chubby"
and the harley is "spike"....

Me,, just call me broke..

My neighbor (retired Airforce), stopped by this past weekend when I was washing my cars. He called them as follows:

NSX > SR-71 Blackbird
S2000 > Wild Weasel(F16) :biggrin:

I agreed that those were appropriate "names" :cool:
