Car Names

Hey everyone,
I tend to be a bit of a lurker when it comes to forums, but I'd figure I give this post a try.

I have this thing were I like to name my cars.

First was a Mazda 3 which for some crazy reason I named SpeedyMcSpeedy... (my friends flamed me enough for that name)

Now my second car, my RX8, I have decided to go with a more realistic name. Took me a couple months but I came up with a japanese name.. Kousei
it means navigation/life which I thought was overly fitting given my obession for this car.

Anyway was wondering if anyone else had this habit and what names you picked for your car.

Sorry in advance if a thread like this has already been done

I named mine Jessica, actually, because it's my favorite name for a female...and I always envision sexy girls with that name.

Methinks you must've watched too much Roger Rabbit cartoons.

Jessica Rabbit.

There are several threads on this...at least two that I specifically remember. They may be in the lounge, but I don't remember for sure. Also fuzzy on this, but I think the threads names were something like "What did you name your 8?"

The search engine does work, but not as infallibly as the "Search, noob!" crowd fantasizes. It could be fun to see what keywords would uncover those threads.

Zoomy and I will sit back and await the reports(s).

Psst, scroll to the bottom of the page, you'll notice the links to the already existing car name threads...

Riley's a funny person, he/she don't even know what a troll means.

Actually, that was/is one of my favorite movies! And that actually is where the name fascination stemmed from.

First, If you scroll to the bottom of the page, you will notice only one of those threads was actually about car names. Funny thing the last post on it was in 2006, I am not sure how this forum search works, but given the oldness of the post it is possible that it would be further back in the results.

Second, how would you get those results unless you created another thread about it...

Third, since quoting wikipedia seems to be in vogue...

An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.[2]

So using deductive reason the purpose of your post was to derail discussion or to shut the thread down because there were other threads already on the topic. Further because you seem to be one of those "use search" fanbois and seem to be rather mean about it, your post also tends to provoke emotional responses.

While I might have had to strech a bit, both of your posts fit perfectly into the troll category, looks aside... though you avatar is def trollish.

News at 11....

An innocent thread about naming your car turns into a violent bloodbath. See the details on Channel 7 News.

Just because you have been here for 2 yrs and have 1,700 posts, doesn't mean that you aren't acting like one.

My previous car was named Dopey McF*cktard; I don't have a name for my 8 yet, but it won't be that.

Revival! Named my 8 "Stark" in reference to Tony Stark of Iron Man, mainly because of the color.

Very nice, I'm a big fan of Iron Man so I definitely approve.
