I was curious what the majority of you call your RX-8. My wife and I refer to ours as "the rex". Original, I know. But since our rex isn't a daily driver and it's also our third car, we have to distinguish it from our others.

We tried "Mazda" and "RX-8" but that didn't seem to fit right. So what do you call yours?

 

Betsy!

 

There are at least two other name threads, both fairly long. If you find those you should get a good idea of what people came up with.

Since Zoomy and I already participated in one of those, I won't repeat Zoomy's name here.

I've named all my cars (well the ones Ive bought and not the ones my parents loaned).

Roger, 78 VW Rabbit (guess why).

Traded Roger in for Jessica Rabbit, aka Jessie. 91 Red Escort GT, look to Roger for the name source. Still have her.

Mimi, the 79 Jeep CJ-5 named after the "screaming mimi" of WW2, a sherman tank with a 50 rack of rockets on top. Being restored now.

Xandreal (Xand for short), a 06 Copper Red Shinka after a bard in a game I used to play. Sexy, agile and full of surprises...of course I still have her too.
