my white jeep was named wayne brady. on the drivers side it has WAYNE BRADY nice and big and on the passengers side doors it says MAKE YO SELF. ill have to get a photo for you guys. the WRX sadly has no name. any suggestions?
My first car was a 1997 Mustang GT...black on black. It told me it's name was Umbra...Latin for "shadow." When I got my Subie, the spirit of my car came with me and took on a new form in the body of my STI. Even though my new baby is gray, Umbra still works since shadows are actually gray anyway, not black.
So, my car became Umbra STI but I call him/her just Umbra. I can only liken it to the Matrix of Leadership from the Transformers. Optimus Prime to Rodimus Prime...but both Prime for short since it would seem Prime is associated with the Matrix. Umbra is the spirit of my car, whichever car I have. The body of my car changed, the Matrix was passed over, Umbra took on a new form.
Gender changes...sometimes it's a He when we're doing masculine things like putting on parts or going WOT but when I'm detailing it or talking about it to someone, it's a She because I give it lots of love.
My 06 WRX is named Suzy, no idea why the name just stuck. Maybe its b/c I know a girl named Suzy who is a tom-boy, and although my WRX is a female she has some pretty big balls for a chick.
In HS my bikes name was Aimee, and my first car a Civic never had a name even though I had the car for 3 years. When I owned the car everyone called me Joe Civic.
I affectionately call my little bue 04 rex "Houdini". It all started right after i bought it. I started racin everyone at the local track to get a feel for it and to see how it compared to the world at large and it just wouldn't lose! i either tied or beat everything that night.....my friend said "THAT THING IS A FRIGGIN HOUDINI CAR!" it just stuck...sorry for the long story...i'm in love with this car haha
