Hey, what do you call your car?...

Curious of what others call their car. Whether its "baby", "IROC", "Anti-Rice", "Bad ****", "Whip", "Bessy"... whatever it is. I'm personally trying to find a name for my IROC, maybe "Gina", or "Maverick", I wanna call my car something more than "Car", or just "IROC". I wanna give it a name. So what do all yas call your car?...

:hail: IROC-Zeeessssssss...

Oh yeah BTW, just felt like tellin yas, I distracted a softball game going on in my town, LoL . I made the turn and ripped up the road, not close to flooring
however(:hail:L98) . I went right by them, the road is kinda above the field, and its next to a wall, so I'm sure it echoed real nice down in the field LoL. I just hope I didn't mess up my town's team, that would be great if I messed the other team up with... rrrrrRRRRRAAAAAAHHHHHHH!! :sillylol: With that excellent Flowmaster exhaust! Just felt like sharing my story, LoL. Peace.

Well I don't really have a new for my Camaro.. Though my Grandfather calls it the "Batmobile" .. probably because it's all black and it has a nice deep rumble..

Excedrin - My car should be sponsored by them because of all the headaches it's caused me and my dad.

It's also called:

Son of a B*tch
Piece of Sh*t
Sorry *** mother f*cker
D*mn thing

And many other not so nice names. If I ever get it running again, than that will change, but I think it's stuck with the name Excedrin.

With me its the maro and the bird. Camaro occasionally turns into "I really need to sell this and get a truck" a lot though. Firebird is also "my baby".

My friends call it 'The Batmobile' even though it's red. It's a joke on it because of all the lights and switches inside.
I call it 'The old Bucket of Bolts' when I have to fix it, or the 'Communist Piece of Junk' when I'm working on it.

I will go through part of my list of what I call my maverick
****er, bitch, pos, junk head, clunker, white trash mobile, dump, money pit, slow, beater, *******, **** sucker, mother ****er, **** mobile, my red head stepchild , garbage, bastard,

there are others but I don't think many would like to hear those words

also though you can use other words of a swearing nature in front of one of the above words to help better describe it
ex. damn red head stepchild.


or combo the words up like

fuc(ing a$$hole

my rx-7 is just "my baby"

Engine: L92/LQ4 (both w/4" stroke)

The Camaro is "Bernie" (short for Berlinetta).
Since the mods and dark green metallic paint, also occasionally called the "Green Hornet".
Nephew calls his '86 Berlinetta "Burly".
The '57 is "Old Red" or just "Red" (it's red & white - doesn't hurt being a Husker native, either). License plate frame says "Highschool Sweetheart" (no, I didn't know my wife in highschool).
The '90 Bonneville SSE is "Essie".
The '91 Bonneville driver-side emblem is missing the "ville", so it's "Bonnie".
The white '84 full-size G20 extended-roof long wheelbase conversion van is "Moby Dick".
Brother calls his '93 truck "Fritz" (no idea).

No anthropromorphism in our household...

CNMA (constantly needing my attention)

I'm thinking I should just call it RAINT_MOMM (Requires all if not the majority of my money).
Considering it's an RS model I've heard people calling my car "Really Slow", "Really ****ty", and "Ramming Speed"
I just like to say that RS stands for "Runs Sometimes."
It's my baby but if it isn't one thing it's another little thing. Like right now, everything runs strong but I can't push the car to the limits because the rear brakes are just about worn out!
