Welllll, mine has a nickname that most people don't get, so I'll diagram it.
The -8 I just saved from hell (a teenager with a rich mommy @ a BMW dealership) and seen in the avatar is our example of eye sizzle, "Lightning Yellow".
I am officially an "Old Fart", since I grew up in the 60's
Though I was a fan of Gary Trudeau, the car is not named for his slacker character, but I do admire the ethic.
Every one of us knows the shriek of our rotary heartbeat at redline.
There was a boxed snack food in the late 60's, sort of like Cracker-Jacks but without the peanuts and plastic gimmick inside. The name of it leaped to mind when I first saw my new road-carver in the BMW lot.
It was a perfect fit. My wife hates it, therefore it HAD to stay.
I present "Zonk", as in my "Screaming Yellow Zonker!"
