Anyone name their car?
I am thinking of a name for my white 88 firebird formula 350. I am thinking Carman! Do you guys have a name for your cars?

My wife named my car herbie, since it really does have a mind of it's own. If you trash talk it it really drives like crap. I named my car Alana (ah-la-na) which is inscribed on the dash

My 86 T/A that I am restoring/customizing is Firebat. My T/A is black and I was always impressed with another black car as a young, yound kid, the batmobile(s). Anyway, it will be my version of a cross between a custom black thirdgen firebird and a batmobile without getting too crazy(like having an afterburner).
My 92 Firebird is simply "The Firebird", for now anyways...

Well, I am still not used to calling it MY FIREBIRD ( just bought it off my dad) So i sometimes call it "your firebird" when speaking to my dad. So I am thinking "The Firebird" or "Carman".

The "BADmobile", or sometimes "Super-maro", but mainly it is "Bad Black Bitc*". It just sounds cool to say " lets take this bad black bitc* for a spin!"
I think she likes it too!

NUBLAZ
I came up with this idea when I was living in Hawaii, and started plans to sell my Caprice. My Caprice had vanity plates with "BLAZN" on them; Hawaii only allows 6 letters. I was originally planning to buy a BMW 325i, and actually came up with the name before I even had the Caprice's replacement. Since the new car would replace "BLAZN," I figured it would be the "new blaze." To get this to fit on Hawaii plates (and thus ANY state's plate) I came up with NUBLAZ.
I couldn't find a 325i in the price range I was willing to pay; instead I found the Camaro. I love the car, though. It will make a wonderful money pit... er... project!

I just call mine the T/A or the bird... but i thought a good name for it would be Vulture since it's a bird that has fed on the death of many other 3rd gens. It has parts from over a dozen different 3rd gens by now and it's about to devour a 4th gen drivetrain

I simply call mine the "old girl".
My freinds call her "Ripper". It's a short for for "stripped". She was a show car at one point and I competed in car shows, IASCA car audio and the odd street race or three. She had over $ 20,000 in car audio and 650hp with a supercharger and NOS. I sold her to a guy (19 yrs old) and put the money into the house. Well the car got stolen and S T R I P P E D.....everything was gone - engine, suspension, axles, stereo, wheels, brakes..GONE, GONE, GONE. I managed to get her back from the insurance company (paid $ 100). The theives didn't even put her on blocks....NOPE just left her on the ground. SO now shes back and I'm putting her back together...one piece at a time...not like before but just to enjoy. Last time she scarred the wife (she hit the NOS button by mistake)...........hmmm....maybe that's not a bad thing..........
Oh and the license plate reads "LAZ RUBER".

Stinger = My Teal 92
Stinger #2 is my black one
Stinger came from the fact my teal car had a total of 4 bee hives in it when I bought it, and since the black one is taking the green ones place, Stinger 2 seems fitting

My friend bought a 73 mustang, has some charging and carb probs, so his isnt running at the moment. My first camaro was acomplete shitbox, i got ripped off, so we dont have very high respect for thirdgens. I just recently bought a firebird, scary fast car, so i guess ill give it a little respect. Anyways, my friend affectionately refers to it as the "CHICKEN" and i affectionately refer to his as the "MULE". Not the greatest names, but they stuck!
Acclr8n, i read the post about drifty, you really have some talent, i cant beleive you went through so much trouble to fix that front end!!! Amazing work.
