Lucy

My white 05 rx-8's name is Lucy. Now that I think of it, there is no particular reason why - LOL.

I named mine Aiden. It means "fiery" even though I have a Whitewater Pearl 8... Whatever though. I want a son named Aiden but for now, my son will just have to be my car. It gets treated about as well as a child gets treated (if not better). Haha.

Named by previous owner.

I have never named a car that I have owned. If I did name my RX8, it would be "tater salad".....

Greetings all! New owner/member here, first post for me!

I'm the proud owner of a new (used) 2005 RX8. I've owned lots of vehicles in the past, but this is definitely the most pure sports car I've ever owned and I'm LOVING it!!!

I've got pics at Flickr that you can check out by clicking on this image below:



In answer to your question, I have actually named my car, just this morning in fact. I've named it Terrigenesis. Not the most personable name in my historic fleet, but this baby's like a force of nature, really. Plus, it kinda rings like Renesis. I'm thinking of putting the following graphic on the rear window, maybe the trunk (like a tat on a girl's lower back):

please don't. it's a nice graphic but modeling something after a tramp stamp just looks tacky in my opinion.

Never heard it called a tramp stamp. That's a bummer.

And, what's "el peo" mean?

the tattoo on a girl's lower back would be the tramp stamp, not your graphic. not sure what yours is but it looks pretty cool - just not a sticker. of course this is your car and you can do as you wish but i would advise not to.

Mine's called "Nova Blue"

I used to own a wicked car that I simply named "Blue." it was, of all things, a '98 KIA Sephia. All I know is my father, who happens to be a master mechanic, tinkered with it before I was allowed to purchase it from them. To this day he won't tell me exactly what he did to the car. All I know is that it easily kept up with a TRD Celica.

fast forward several years and cross-country trips and adventures later...smash! t-boned by someone running a red light. My Blue was gone.

long story short I went looking for another car...and I just /happened/ to find...this beautiful blue rotary. thus it became the new, or "Nova" Blue.

"el peo" means "the fart" in spanish when you say something is a "peo" it can be thought of as being fast....don't ask me why.

^ perhaps an excess of spicy spanish dishes and their tendency to cause quick passage . . .

My wife would laugh at me to no end if I named my car. Well, if I told her what I named it, anyway..... But I don't have a name yet.

Your cars name?

I figured with the new thread with the debate of wether you would trade in for a 16X RX-_ or just keep your 8 now, I was wondering for those of you that would keep your 8 (Or have no idea what thread I'm talking about and would love to participate anyway), what is your 8's name? Wether it's something meaningful or if its just what you call it when you're cursing about how slow your AT4 is...supposedly

GO!

Wow, apparently you don't have enough time to visit the lounge a lot, because you'd have to go pretty far back to even find one!

The most recent "what'd you name your 8" thread was started on the 11th of this month...very recent...but not in the lounge.
