I guess I'm not very creative. We have:

"My car" - (my black RX8)
"Your truck" - (her silver Infiniti QX4)
and
"Our car" - (our Lexus SC430)

Let me be the first to post this one:

"Rex" :p

Sometimes I call it Rexy. I'm really not creative at all.

Nautilis or Naut for short from 20,000 Leauges Under The Sea, and sometimes I feel like Capt Nemo.
I guess I spent to many years on subs. That kind of stuff sticks with ya (Go Fast Attacks).

Our black RX-8 is named Felix.

As soon as the drive day seminar mentioned Mr. Wankel's name and the rotary, my other half said, "that's it! Felix!" Suits him perfectly :cool:

My Godaughter had called it "Zoom-Zoom" since I showed her the pre-prodution videos a year and a half ago. She would always ask "When do you get Zoom-Zoom?" By the time the car was here we were all calling it "Zoom-Zoom." Not very original I know.

I call mine Yellow.

I greet my car everytime I enter it. "Hellooooo Yellow."

I turn the engine on and the music comes on.

.."Look at the stars, see how they shine for you..."

I start to hum along and pull out of the driveway.

My work day starts like that. Everyday.

Mine is "Misti Blu" b/c it sounds like a stripper/porn star's name.

You know "Velocity Red" was a great name for a paint colour, but "Voluptuous Red" would have been better :D

I think I'll go clay bar her and polish her and wax her, and the feel her UP! :)

My brunette wife jokingly said I was going through the mid-life crisis when I bought my yellow RX8 a month ago. My response -

I told her it was the only blonde I'll ever bring home. The car's name is 'Tammi' (after a personal trainer I once met) :p

My 3 year old names all our cars. The RX-8 is called "cool red car" or "mommy's car". Then again everything we own is know as mommy's _______.

My housemate calls it the "BATMOBILE".

FYI: previous car was the "Whoremobile". (Firebird).
I guess that's an improvement.

I have a black RX8 and I call it "Gee Ma Goun" - Seasame roll (black outside and red inside)

Most of my friends have Yum Cha dishes named after their cars..

I used to have a Har Gao (Shrimp Dumpling) which was a white Integra Type R DC2 (lightweight ver.) with red Recardo seats.

Compare to my friend also has a white Integra Type R RSX (DC5) also red Recardo inside - heavier and his car's name is Cha Siu Pao (Pork Bun)

Someone has a grey Boxster S look like Yue Chi Gao (shark fin dumpling) it is expensive dish as well!!!!

One friend has a Yellow MR2 which is a Dan Tat (Custard Tart) and how has a R34 GTR which is white with black leather so... Tong Yuen (Seasame balls - a Yum Cha desert)

A black 200SX with strange green tinge to the uphostery - his name is Pei Dan (preserved Duck eggs)

What we call ourselves? The

Yum Cha Club (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/yumchaclub)

"Rex" has been my nickname for the RX-8, but my fiance thinks it should be a woman's name. I still like "Rex".

I keep calling it the "8".

I may have to come up with something creative.

I named my PDA "Alphonse" (the cop labor in Patlabor).

wahoo
10-07-2003, 08:57 PM
Hmm, I've never had a car worthy of naming since Das Boot (73 LTD Wagon) that I had in high school.

I'll have to think on that one.
