Name you use for your porsche
 
I noticed how quite a few folks have pet (or other) names for their rides. I usually call mine the WITCH as its all black but today while working on changing the cat for a pre muffler I was calling it a B****.
Post your names and reason why, should be interesting.

For some reason my car seems to pick up nicknames.. and not from me. The few that I have liked the most are:
Frog - just look at the car from the front
Rusty - cause it was old and partly as a joke.. to bad it had some truth in it...
W.E.T. - wallet eating toy which was a complement to my other car: WER - Wallet Eating Repair.
Cocaine in Miami (my personal favorite)- the color of the car reminded the person of the 80s and Miami I told him to watch out cause I might show up in a linen suit with a pastel shirt.

Silin, Gaelic for Cherry, a pretty Irish lady named it. How could I refuse.

I call mine the "Fräulein"... That's because she's my girl friend.
If I ever get married again (to a German girl) I'll call my wife "Frau" but my old girl will always be my "Fräulein"

My ex left 8 years ago. She wasn't German ;-)

I call mine baby. I guess because I admired these cars for so long and finally got one about a year ago. And I treat it like a baby, I guess I'll get passed that soon.

My wife's '86 944 is Bogey. My 87 944 turbo is Roses (named by my 5 yr old daughter). The 03 Ruf 3600S is Blas (short for blast to drive and true blasberry, the paint color.) The 72 911 has only been here a couple of days and isn't running so no name yet.

Bruce because it's great, white and likes to eat money. :D

sailchef 03-14-2009 07:35 PM

Butters!

Car is Bamboo Beige - seemed like a good name and it stuck. As a matter of humor, one of our friends now refers to Steve's cabby as "Cartman" (you will RESPECT my authority!), and the spyder as "Tweek" in honor of degenerates on the Southpark show.

Have to admit "Butters" seems appropriate. But I bet she sticks more than she slides.

My buddy gives me grief because I won't call my car "The Porsche". In L.A. I find the whole Porsche stigma a bit much. I've removed most everything that identifies it as a Porsche. Next I'll change the old reflector to trhe newer 87-89 ghost script.

He clowns me by calling it the "Blue Car" in his best Thurston Howell the 3rd blue blood voice.
