Name My Car!
 
I need a name for my car. It's a 1997 318ti Active. Schwarz II (black) with the factory 10 spoke rims. Light grey leather intereor, 5 speed manual tranny, Sony cd player. Black carpets on the floor. She needs a name. If I get some entries, I'll post a list of finalists, and we can vote on them.

Considered a classic like Fox Box or Shaggen Wagon?

bmw318tiChic 10-17-2004 03:20 PM

I'm not good at thinking up original names, but I named mine "Rachel Jr" because my name is Rachel, and she is my baby.

gooten1 10-21-2004 04:18 AM

IMO, you can't just name a car, it is something that is has to earn through some right of passage. My friends Mustang was Judas, since the brakes went out in it (betraying him) and he hit a Suburban. My Storm was the Duck because a friend of mine stuck a bunch of kazoos up my tailpipe and it sounded like a duck when i started it. Only car I've ever had that just got a name was my 280ZX, it was named Zee, actually I called the voice Zee and it was only appropriate that the car have the same name as it's voice.

Do YOU name YOUR car?
 
Do you , eh, do you? And what do you call it?

gooten1 01-19-2005 02:19 AM

Black Betty (ram a lam) :D

bmw318tiChic 01-19-2005 02:31 AM

Yes, her name is Rachel Jr.

durnadupa 01-19-2005 02:40 AM

Yeah I name mine, her name is... Tonka for her first name, and her last name is Hitlerietta.
I mean she is German after all so Hilter, Hitlerietta, you see where I am going with this one?
So in conclusion my little butted baby's name is Tonka Hitlerietta.

aceyx 01-19-2005 03:06 AM

i scream anything that sounds german, e.g.
"what's your car called?"
"oh, i call it the OBFENDUBERNOCHTENSCHTIK."

scares the crap out of people.

DaNO 01-19-2005 05:31 AM

Thats good to know, now i must find a name for mine. I called my last car steve, now the search is on......

schussey 01-19-2005 08:25 PM

my stoner friend named my car "Toodles," after the character in the movie Hook. (due to how sluggish my car is)

after I put some cosmetic mods on, the name was altered to "Toodles Badtastity"

:anger: your really gonna hear it from jewish members...........

gadgetphreak 01-19-2005 11:18 PM

I have to agree, I doesn't appear that any specific attack on anyone was meant, but it is a rather careless choice.

Germany is known for many great things (Beer, BMW, Beer, Brautwurst, Beer, etc.) and to insinuate that being German is immediately related to a single fanatical individual is pretty narrow-minded and may be offensive to some...

Just my point of view, take it or leave it... :caffine:

robcarync 01-20-2005 12:41 AM

agreed...

anyway....my car has no name!

who wants to name it!? let me know!

durnadupa 01-20-2005 01:57 AM

Okok, I apologize if anyone took offense from my comment. I mean I wasn't making an attack on anyone, and the amusing part is my Jewish friends find the name to be hilarious. But again I am sorry, I didn't mean anything by it...
But I am still not changing her name, she's too used to it.

I know you weren't attacking anyone. ;)

Panzer_M 01-20-2005 07:28 AM

Hitler was Austrian.

gadgetphreak 01-20-2005 05:00 PM

No prob dude, as I said initially, it didn't come across as attacking anyone on purpose.

Cool that you apologized anyway, those that may have been offended can see that you meant no harm.

robcarync 01-21-2005 08:53 PM

so ... the important part...who wants to name my car! maybe ill give them a PRIZE!

aceyx 01-21-2005 09:28 PM

your car should be named based on its character of use, or a funny story associated with it. it's kind of difficult to do unless we know you.

for example, my handle on the cb radio is RC, because when i have the 4' fiberglass whip antenna raised, it really does look like a remote control car.

i had a friend with another german make that couldn't negotiate snow for crap and he kept crashing it, so we called it the hindenberg.

there was another kid that had a jeep with faux wood paneling on the sides, so he called it his woody.

he also owns a motorcycle called <kids name's> little sister, so he can say "i'm going to go ride your sister for a bit, try and wear down the rubber."

robcarync 01-21-2005 10:05 PM

ahh but my personality is goofy and random...which is why i need somene else to think of it! then when someone asks me what the name is i can be like "oh its _____ because ___ who i dont know told me so on the internet"

Panzer_M 01-21-2005 10:19 PM

Kugelblitz....Ball Lighting in German.

robcarync 01-21-2005 10:42 PM

wow Kugelblitz...that sounds interesting...i may name it that....

anyone else have any ideas!

Panzer_M 01-22-2005 01:35 AM

Hetzer: Baiter

Kobold: German Imp known for mischief

My friend's e30 325 is called "NachtJager" literial Night Hunter or more conventional would be Night Fighter, as it is used by the Luftwaffe, WWII and Present.

bmw///m3/// 01-24-2005 09:29 PM

ju-88

robcarync 01-24-2005 11:44 PM

i cant decide on kugelblitz or kobold...hmm!!!!

durnadupa 01-25-2005 12:06 AM

How about you call it "Kleiner Kolben"
Which translated into english means "small butt," it is true you know...

maurolin 01-27-2005 05:56 PM

**** basket.

AzzKickr 01-30-2005 07:05 PM

me and a friend of mine who drives an E36 convertible made up names to give a title to our photoshoot; Black Angel vs. Dark Demon. Mine being the Dark Demon.

robcarync 01-30-2005 10:00 PM
