If your own (real and/or dream) car was a good or bad Transformer,
what creatively or humorously witty, or seriously cool name would you
want it to have and please explain why.

'Nick' has no posting history. This post follows a pattern we've been
seeing here, a drive-by posting asking an open-ended question about a
current media property. It's trolling, albeit in a moderately nice
way.

I get a very strong feeling that the group is being used to provide
material for some media website. Do 'Nick's' homework for him if you
want.

My car is an Oldsmobile Alero named Traffic Stop because she's
(mistakenly) convinced that she's so beautiful that she literally
stops traffic. Also because she seems to attract the attention of
patrol cars even when she's not actually violating any traffic laws.
She wears an Autobot symbol on one side window and a Decepticon symbol
on the other, so I guess she's a little confused about her
allegiance.

I'm partial to "God damn it, quit posting this stupid shit here, asshole."

Note also that the thread is spamming across three separate newsgroups.
It's not an att-specific question; it just happens to have the word
Transformer in it.

That's a very long name, PT, and hardly witty or cool. You're supposed
to call your transformer car something sparky like "Erogenous Jones" or
"BattleCar Galaxica" or something like that.

My 1998 Saturn SC-2 is known as the Frogmobile because it's green and
besides, I like frogs. :)

My car has an internal combustion engine, and even if it was
electric, I'd hope I could plug it directly into a standard 110v
outlet. Why would I need a transformer, and what would be the point
of naming it?

Could be a Unicronian like Sideways, yes-yes?

My missus' car is a Hyundai Santro (found an image, in case y'all
Westerners haven't ever seen one
http://www.muskurahat.com/cars/images/hyundai_santro2005/large/Hyundai_Santro_2005_05.jpg),
which she jokingly says will become a Mercedes when it's done growing
up.

The car's name is Lane Dancer, because of how she likes to weave
through traffic (because let's face it, that's the only way you can
drive around here). Her motto is "If I don't get caught, it's not
illegal!"

Probably an Autobot, because she's too cute and cuddly to be a non-
cassette Decepticon.

I drive a busted up 95 Honda Civic, It's falling aprt, so I'd say it's a
Junkion and I'd call it Detritus.

I have a Transformers Edition 2010 Camaro... so I call it "Bumblebee".
