I named my 80 diesel Rabbit "quad" after my SE RACING Quadangle(reynolds
531 not the 4130 type) because thats about how many directions my
fingers bend to change #1+2 glow plugs
my 85 Cabbie is "DAMMIT" is having 'lectrical problems again!

i also had a 72 super beetle named Harvey (Harvey the Wonder Bug)
and we had an '89 golf named Farley (short for Farvegnugen) which is why
all golfs to me are Farley Cars and a jetta is a farley-car-with-a-butt

Yeah, I named my 87 Scirocco 16V "BITCH". I usually say that while I am racing
or working on it.

While my car doesn't go by its nickname all the time, I think it
deserves to have a name since it has never let me down and I enjoy
driving it :) It's not like I talk to it ... well, when we're taking on
other cars, maybe :)

Of course!! :) My 1992 Fox is known as "The Adamobile II", and my
previous car, a 1988 Fox was the original "Adamobile". I also tend to
think of my Fox as a guy, rather than a girl.. I don't know why.

>> Do any of you guys have any nicknames for your cars?
I think picking a car nickname might be one of those things that just
happen. You don't pick out a pet name for your sweetheart from a list or
after making a long and hard decision. Pet names just sort of bubble up out
of nowhere.
That being said, the nickname of my future purchase (Golf TDI) just might be
"Gunter"

the Army/Navy store. Good post though, it started out fairly calm and then
escalated to a good laugh. I don't name the cars so much as refer to them by
classification. The Golf is the Shuttle craft while the Minivan is the
Mothership. Having also been in the NAV, I can relate, some of the mil-spec
jargon is worth using in civilian life. I'm still using the phoenetic
alphabet ie.,Victor Whiskey.

Cool! I'd reserve that name for a car that's real fast and outfitted to be
radar-invisible. That name would be great for an old cop car painted with
stealth paint and the car outfitted to help foil LIDAR as well. Of course,
it would have to be black too. :) My '87 Quantum is the USS Millennium
Falcon. I hope it's Y2K-compatible!
Have you got vanity plates saying "SR-71" and painted them to be non-
retroreflective to foil LIDAR? Nice militaristic name you chose for your
car.
