Mine's called the Frog


My three year old daugher was going to climb onto the front bumper of my covered car in the garage when I yelled "don't climb on my car", she responded, "it's not a car it's a Porsha - Dad"

"Mr. P"
"The P-cahhhh"
"P-Daddy Funk Flex"
"My Little Deutche Coupe" - ok, so she's not a coupe, but the name is too cool to pass up.

1989 Porsche 930
my name: Black Love
wifes name: the ticket machine (3 in the last 6 months)

1997 Toyota Land Cruiser
my name: King of the Road
wifes name: MY truck

1968 Porsche 912 project
my name: lil' sweetie
wifes name: THAT CAR (as in 'when are you gonna sell THAT CAR?)

1970 Toyota Land Cruiser (sold)
my name: Crash the Wonder Truck
wifes name: your Jeep (argh! It's a TOYOTA LAND CRUISER honey!)

Although when I take the 97 Cruiser to work it takes her all of 12 minutes to call the 930 'my car' and the Cruiser 'my truck'...

Some things never change...

I used to call it the P-car until I had two. Now I call one "the 911" and the other "944". Years ago when I came home after being stopped (for 120 in a 55) my G.F. said "So they finally caught the White Stag?"

This is a timely question for me since I was just talking about it last night to the Queen of the house:

I would say that she has different names depending on my mood and what I am doing to it:

1. When I am washing her: "Gorgeous"
2. When I am installing a part that goes on easily: Marion (as Jones, the american sprinter)
3. When something breaks while I am out in it: "@$#!%" please dont
4. When a part wont go in that should its just plain "@$#%"

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul!

I call her the "banshee" or "silver banshee". Named after the "wailing witches" due to the sound my car makes.

Name

Her name's Nina. Still trying to figure out if it's from Nina Simone (black, beautiful, and great voice) or a nice jewish girl (Nina Levin) that's beatiful and treats me right, but loud and demanding at the same time.

Either way, it comes out Nina.

A recent NoVa Porschephile poll here http://www.dorkiphus.com/porsche/viewtopic.php?t=433 determined that the correct name for Jim's 73E is "Tinky Winky".

Cool I'm opting for...

Jade -- or the "Green Dragon"

Mike informed me that it does indeed breath fire (especially at Road Atlanta turn 12)

I call my 911 nina after the words nine-eleven.

Here is she, still in bits.


I think Beepbeep called his 930 for Brunte.
