thanks slo-bob, i think they're both great ideas.

I like Black Ice, too. If you live in NC it has a special thrill (I was driving around today, too!). Randy, the cyberpunk reference raises my already considerable respect for you.

OK, so now I see that you are leaning toward a masculine title.....
So IMHO I truly believe you should consider "Maverick." You are welcome....................enjoy!
:cool:......My son came up with it.....:)

fragwürdig actually means questionable, so I think I would stay away from that one...
Wildkatze is german for wildcat

Licorice - tough & sweet ;)

Another vote for SONNY!
You woundn't want your Porsche to meet the same fate though.

Thanks for correcting me on that one - I wasn't sure. Wildkatze doesn't sound to bad!

"Schwarze Licht" Pronounced: schwartza likt, means Black Light - in German.

How about Lucretia (Porscha) it will poison you for anyother car.

randywebb 02-01-2007 07:47 PM

"cyberpunk reference"

- Jack in, Neuromancer!

re Questionable

since your profile mentions (some) pink hair; that might be the perfect name. people will have to know German to figure it out, so that gives them a layer of obfuscation to get thru....

*New, excited & 'Pointedly' enthused female owner .....

*Chose world-class '007' image as avatar: 'Dangerously Aventuresome' .....

So ..... how 'bout ......

"Come back! I'll bite you to death!"

I think the rear wing is akin to the helment, so I hope this is the winner!

Okay, so I see my suggestion of 'Fred' might have passed by without much discussion. Allow me to elaborate...

The founder of the Porsche dynasty was Ferdinand Porsche. He went by the name Ferdinand, as he lived a long time ago and people were quite serious back then. Of course, now we would call him Fred.

His favorite son, and the man resposible for the Porsche car company as we know it, was Ferry Porsche. However, Ferry was just a family nickname; his real name was...Ferdinand! That would be Fred, to you and me.

We progress to the next generation of the Porsche family tree. The man responsilble for styling the 911 was Ferry's son Butzi. Again, this is just a family nickname. His given name was...of course, Ferdinand. Yet another Fred... surley you see where I am going with this.

The name of the man most responsible for making Porsche a household name, through success in racing, was Butzi's cousin, Ferdinand Piech. Strangely enough, as the last couple of Freds in his family used other nicknames so as to make the dispostion of Christmas presents less of a fight, this one stuck with Feerdinand. Although, I suspect, his wife (and mistresses) called him Fred, when nobody was looking.

Need more convincing?

Seeing as Schwarz is German for black..

Schwarzennegger.... or Arnie.... or Terminator... or Schwarzkopf ......

or as the urban dictionary says...

The Schwartz is the greater magic, a power that ties all living things. It originated in the Mel Brooks movie Spaceballs, a Star Wars/Star Trek spoof film. It is a direct replica of The Force, only with the name changed for copyright reasons.

So....

I see my Schwartz is bigger than your Schwartz
