I know a lot of people on this board give their cars names. So what have you named some of your cars?

Known as the eight and a half most times, but sometimes "the fist" since the a and s keys are close enough on the keyboard to make for an ironic knickname

Sometimes I name them, sometimes someone else comes up with something and sometimes they wind up telling me what to call them... but they all wind up with a name.

"Uncle Ben" stuck with my '82 Datsun 280zx

"Charlene" was my '85 colt

"The rollerskate" was an '86 accord

"Red 5" for the '87 daytona shelby Z

"Jane" for one of my rabbits, I think the '91; it was red...

"Mrs. Smith" is what we call the current '96 9000

I cannot remember them all right now...

The truck is "Lil' Mason" since the guy I got it from's last name is Mason. Sometimes I refer to it as "The Rusticon", since it is transforming into a rustier truck, or I call it "The Show Truck" usually when someone throws a can of beer at it or something stupid, used in the context of "Whoa! Easy on the Show Truck!"

The Eclipse is "Greenie" because its green. Pretty much all my DSMs were named by color. "Whitey", "Greenie", other than my red GSX, which was the "Limp Draeger-Mobile", again named for the guy I got it from.

Every motorcycle I have owned has been called "The Chopper". Also of note is I have never owned anything but sport bikes and stock CB-750. My friend Tony calls my bike "Master P's No Limit Soulja bike"

I call my NYG Sport Coupe Mikey, after Mike Kazowski (see avatar). Color is similar. I also have an NYG Sports Sedan that was built in Mexico; since they're twins, I call him Miguel.

Mikey's plate is NYG95 (GA plate, hence my screen name). Miguel's plate is NYGTWO, and if I ever get an NYG ACR (unlikely; very rare), it will be NYGTOO.
