Ha ha! Good idea, but you forgot Sylvia! Two votes for that already.:p

Rick Miley · #3 09-22-2003, 01:24 PM

Sylvia.

Or, if the paint on the hood is as bad as that picture, "Flaky."

You have to watch Randy... he is very SLICK.... he did not like ' sylvia'.... so he just accidentally left it out of the choices....

I think it should be called " Snowberry"... and then painted that color...

Greg's 240 is named "Mr. Tifton."

Oooo, a boy-car! I had no idea you owned such a rare vehicle Greg. :p Cars are almost always girls. What colour is a Snowberry anyway? White?

So you want to talk about why you left Sylvia off the list RLeo? Some Freudian thing? Any history of Sylvia's mother thwarting your designs on her daughter by not passing the phone over to her, as the annoying operator says, "That'll be ten cents more... for the next.... three minutes", and you don't have a dime????:p

You can tell us....

Mr. Tifton has to be a boy car...it's got a stick shift.

re: Sylvia
I certainly didn't make a conscious effort to leave Sylvia out of the poll. But, I know a woman named Sylvia that, well to be honest, gives me a cold chill so it probably was some wacky Freudian thing.

Pardon me while I get in touch with my inner child....

Since this thread is just fluff anyway

, my cars names are:

E300 - Big Smokey
VW - Lil Smokey
240D - Perfesser Leaky

They need not have a gender.

Snowberry is an early 70's MGB color that I painted a volkswagen one time... everyone loved it...
It looks white in a parking lot.... but if you get near grass or trees it glows...
Miss Tifton will be this color as soon as a find an excuse to repaint her...her paint is way too perfect at this time... but on the other hand this would be the first time I had to do nothing except actual paint prep.... usually I have to bang out dents first...

MISS Tifton??

From what Randy tells me, you need to go check your anatomy.

Or maybe he/she's had surgery at a transmission shop??? :p Somehow I don't think 'a paint job so the car will match her name' will be at the top of the list, all things considered. :p You owned a VW?? Does PEH know that? :p

240D - Perfesser Leaky

That is a GREAT name... Fits any transmission too. :p

"From what Randy tells me"----I TOLD you Randy was slick and you had to watch him !

My vote still goes to Sylvia.

BTW, I too have named every vehicle that I've owned (actually, the first two came from family members, so I used the names that had already been given to the cars). I actually kinda stopped with my old van (me and my dad kept good-naturedly arguing over what the name should be), and hadn't named the truck until one day when I wsa getting tired of not being able to make U-turns, and commented that the truck has the turning radius of an aircraft carrier. So, I named it after one.

Then, when I got the car, I decided that I should stick with the naval theme, but needed the name of a German mid-sized ship. Someone on here pointed me to a database of WWII German warships, and I picked the one that I figured best fit the car (also the one I liked). There's also some irony there, given what happened at "Nurnberg" (known to us as "Nurenberg") in '46 and '47...
