I know I'm not the first to go and name his car, and I certainly won't be the last.

Actually, what I need is the name of a German destroyer or small cruiser or something. This is to go with the nautical theme, to complement the truck (which I call the U.S.S. Nimitz because it turns so horribly; the 300D is nice and nimble yet still strong)...

Okay, so I'm weird Any ideas? Thanks!

I've got some ideas:

Scharnhorst (German dreadnought battleship)

Emden (famous light cruiser and shipping raider during WWI)

Graf Zeppelin (ok, not a ship).

Hindenburg ( )

How about some names off German fighter aircraft of WWII?

Messerschmidt 110 "Zerstorer" (destroyer)

Messerschmidt 410 "Hornisse" (hornet)

-Sam

How about Katarina named after that German ice skater
(can't recall her last name).

She is good looking, nice and nimble yet strong.

Katarina Witt yes, but in German it is pronounced like Vitt.

Thanks. Yeah she may have totaled her MBZ and done dumb stuff like appear in Playboy magazine but she is nimble and storng, I'm sure nice on a personal level.

Hey!! Good one, especially since MB is coming out with those hydrogen fuel cells!

Kuan

Yup. It's rudder was damaged so it could only travel in circles. That made it a sitting duck and it was soon sunk.

Maybe if you damage the steering linkage on the 123 and then call it the Bismark!!

Call it "My Sister's Dog."

(why not?)

DAS BOOT!

If the name didn't have to be German I'd say "Pokey"

it was that oksana what's her name that got the dui after totalling her car...

on the smoking angle how about -

"Kettenraucher"- chain smoker
"Nichtraucher" - non- smoker

or
"der Anschleicher" - the stalker
