I named my sepia brown 73 t "steamer" after a fresh cow pie that so resembles my 911 in shape and color.

Of the four P-cars I've owned:

#1 '75 911S "Lacey"-- the previous owner installed those tacky lace scrolls at the corners of the hood and trunk and CLEARCOATED over them. Paint job cured the lapse of taste.

#2 '85 Carrera "Lilly" --as in von Schtupp and because she was white

#3 '98 Boxster "Nina" --as in van Horne; super model looks with a questionable past

#4 '81 911SC "Vera" --as in "vier" the 4th German girl

Minerva cause she is Minerva blue and is both a warrior and thing of art.

Hummmmm....
 

When she was Nutmeg Metalic Brown it was the Turd or the Toad depening on her attitude changing mine.


Now that she is Iris Blue Metalic we started calling her Iris. Hey she is the only "Iris" around here, O.K.


PWD72S calls her the slut, his Green car is the virgin and my car is well.....as far the other way as his is virgin.

I named mine Black Ice. A cool black car.

Oh shuddup.

Mine is called 'Pufje'.

That's how my 3 year old son calls the car when he tries to say Porsche.
It was the first car brand name he ever tried to pronounce, so I guess this name will stick.

since i have a carrera, it's tia. you know..... wayne's world.....schwing

actually the wifey named mine PACO

stands for: Piece A Crap O'

It got this name after coming out of the shop for SSI's, Tranny rebuild, and updated tensioners. I took it to a party at a friends house and parked it at the end of the driveway blocking all the other cars in and the transmission got stuck between two gears and would not move. I was the friggin hit of the party when everyone had to drive across the host's grass to get out. About a week later I got the bank statement and the wife asked what the $6000.00 charge was for and I told her it was for the porsche.
She was a little(yeah right) upset about the fact that I spent that much on "that piece of crap"

Although I have healed relations with all people involved and the car has never run or looked better the name still sticks.

I do like MATRIX though......hmmmmmmmm

My gf calls it "that *****".

MEREDITH, after my wife...

1. She's racy
2. She has a great ass
3. She is high maintenance

since the 3.6 implant I've been calling the beast "Damien". anything demonic comes to mind since it makes me do evil things

Someone mentioned "Superbeetle". That's what collegues and other envious people often call my 911. Sometimes they also call it "røvskubber" which translates (badly) to "arse pusher". Don't know how else to translate it :rolleyes:

My mother sometimes call it "larmepotten" which translates to "the noise banger".

Absolutely....

I used to refer to mine as "stink bug" before the photo lab gang renamed it.

My black 87 is the tarantula. This is froma Dick Van Dyke show where he bought a british sports car and named it the same. it was one of the funniest shows I've seen.

My wife saw the show last year and agreed...the tarantula was it.

I usually refer to mine as "The P Wagon", or, when I am feeling particularly German, as "Das P Vagen".

The SC: Rennwagon, since it's my wannabe race car.

The CAB: Sparky, the Red Dragon. Since Chuck named it Sparky back when he owned it, and you can't just go changing someones name. The Red Dragon part, because my wife says I'm like Will Ferral(Hank The Tank) in the movie "Old School" out in the driveway working on it.

Who needs a name, I can't get over how cool it is just to say, "lets take the 911."
