Car names

I know over the last 50 years or so just about every possible idea for a car name has been tried. I finally decided on the name Quicksilver last year just because I had some cool decal material to make a name with and it goes well with the name although my car is black.

Since then I've thought of or seen many neat names I could have used. The one I really like but doubt they would let me use it. I'm in Alberta and this is ranching country. The name "Hoof Hearted" would be neat to use and I'd love to hear them say it over the PA system. During our lunch break at a big event the track gets a motorcycle stunt team to put on a show. They're now called Canadian Chaos. They used to be called Cunning Stunts but were told to change their name.

I recently saw a nick on another forum called Hoosier Daddy. That would be another good car name.

Everybody started calling me the "Hired Gun" when I started driving the truck last season so the owner and me talked about it and this year it will be aptly named, ohh, did I mention the owner is also a Deputy Sheriff?!! If the shoe fits...

When I was stationed in Germany, racing my V6 '76 Vega, I wanted to call it the "Vega Meister".

Never got around to it, though.

Fellow racer calls my '57 a "More Door" (gotta know it's a 4dr sedan and be a Rings fan to get that one).
