Analytical people can't love cars?

That is too good a deal to pass up. Yes, I am a software engineer, mainly kernel and device driver stuff, two degrees in computer science, and quite proudly analytical. Enjoy, you may now wallow in your anti-engineering bigotry. I would relish seeing you spend more time around here engaging in your love of cars and less in finding reasons to put people down.

I had nobody in mind. I'm quite familiar with Japanese names and so I just sort of thought of one that I felt appropriate.

Now that's a good one.

I'm thinking of the Grey Ghost.

Look, I just wanted to understand who would name a car, and I suspected before, but now I know. (Just seems childish to do it and be so proud to make posts and chat about it.)

As I stated, I will leave this thred. You guys have fun with your Transformers and car names, Dungeons and Drangons or whatever the hell you're into now and tell the rest of the Tri-Lambs I said, "Hello".

I can't wait to get back in this car so I don't feel like a grown-up!

Somebody should have spent less time gaming and more time studying for the spelling test. Then they'd probably be a lot less pissy.

I named both of my Miata's. For some reason, though, I have no urge to name my RX-8. While the Miata's had a personality of sorts, my RX-8 is metal, plastic, and rubber. It's definitely a machine only. A fun one, no doubt, and I'm completely happy with it... but no need to name it.

I think it is really sad that your identity is so fragile that the actions of others who own the same vehicle as you can so destabilize you.

Grow up, and get yourself a presence that isn't defined by association with the products you own.

This is my RX-8.
There are many like it but this one is mine.
My RX-8 is my best friend. It is my life.
I must master it as I must master my life.
Without me my RX-8 is useless.
Without my RX-8, I am useless.
I must drive my RX-8 true.
I must drift wider than my enemy who is trying to out drift me.
I must spank him before he spanks me.
I will.
Before God I swear this creed.
My RX-8 and myself are defenders of my streets.
We are the master of our enemy.
We are the saviours of my life.
So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace.
Amen.

So since mine is "Winning Blue" I thought about naming it Charlie Sheen, but that seems like bad luck...

But it does need a name.

That post itself is just winning.

But I like to call mine the Blue Baller. :P Not for real, it's just kind of funny (because my girlfriend hates it haha).

I just noticed that the last comment was on 07/07/06. This thread was dead 5 years and it came back from a long long hibernation.

Anyways, i named her "cutie", because she is a cutie.

I named mine Roxy as well, it was the first thing that came to me.
