What did you name your 911 and why?

Just curios. Some people do, some people don't. I will go first.
My car has been named "The Red Queen". A dash of "Alice in wonderland", A serving of "Resident Evil", and a touch of "The Animatrix". When I look at my car she just seems a little sinister. In a good way...

Gutzeit. It means "goodtime" in german.

Everyone talks about the front bumper smile. I think it looks a little evil grin

By default, as it's the only one in our extended family, my car is known as "THE PORSH" (or "DAD'S PORSCH", "JERRY'S PORSH", "UNCLE JERRY'S PORSH"). Even my little three-year-old neice knows that car is "UNCA JERWY'S PORSH". Besides, my wife is better at naming cars than I am, the best one's were years ago when, thanks to her, our Coupe de Ville was known by all as "BIG MOMMA CADDY" and the, rather well-used, van I had was "THE SCUD"; I think she's still working on something for the Volvo.

I name all my sports cars - they are members of the family and each have their own personality.

The old 3.2 Carrera was the "Demon". It glowed red at night and shot 4 foot blue flames, so it was pretty much evil.

Now I have two '72T Coupes. One is being built as a stock roadgoing car; the other is being built as a hotrod. Considering the shared lineage but grossly different personalities, they have been dubbed "Jekyll and Hyde". Although, as a counterpoint, "Ferrous and Oxide" was also suggested.

Brünhilde. She's a fat lady, and she's got one hell of a set of pipes!

Actually, it should be Burnie. I bought the car at an insurance auction after if had an engine fire. Burnie seems much happier with a 3.2.

After my first autocross with it, I was heard calling it the "tail happy beast".

Mine is currently named the Flying Turd since it's sepia brown, is a total mess from bumper to bumper but is incredibly quick.

When she becomes nice after a full engine rebuild and new interior she'll get a new nickname. Probably something like Milk chocolate but it depends all on her personality.

I have a 'Pepe' and 'The Death Sled'. Pepe just kinda stuck on the '72 one day...probably after I bought the turbo. Somehow I had to differentiate between the two. The turbo has had a few names. Squatty for a while...but that just didn't fit its personality.
