OI!!! definitely not happening.....insulting my car that way.....you can say wot u like about ur car, it is looking more and more like a storage place for spares, but with nice shiny mags.....time to rethink the name for mine i reckon
Mine... My old zed was called Holly... For the first 6 months, whenever my mates were in the passenger seat and I took off hard... They'd go to say holy shit but could only ever say HOLY. It stuck The white one is named Pearl.. For obvious reasons. The Ford Meteor is known as the Meaty-whore... She's fu<ked and everyone has had a ride. :cool2: Fate
When things are not going well when its being worked on or I can't fit my hands somewhere they need to be its. "Japanese fu$kin piece of sh!t"
ROFL!!! Had me in tears...lol I think everyone calls there zed "The Zed" it just suits it well lol... However I was thinking about calling mine "Betty"...Being Black, so Black Betty, and me being a nurse and all Nurse Betty...so it's a link between us lol...However she doesn't really look like a Betty..maybe I'll give it a shot ROFL But then again you could just get personalised plates and call your zed that..
hmmm.... am definately lookin at pl8's for it, but won't be going fully personalised... i am looking at SXC-091 (sexy (i was born in 1991)) lol, but dunno yet... i thought about DW-91-ZX... so the pl8's may not lead to a name... everyone is dead right, 'the zed' does stick to the car so easily... has anyone had any funny names? - one of my mates had an i30 - and he called it digit, cause it had digits in its name lol...i couldn't think of anything unique to the zed tho...
One more for "the zed" here. My friends like to call it "impractical" because when it's my turn as designated driver it can cause some issues resulting in my having to take another car. 2-seaters ftw.
mates of mine call my zed either the "chick magnet" or the knicker dropper, even though no girls have ever dropped their knickers at the sight of it......
Hay, mines called Jennifer Hay, mines called Jennifer ... and I did not even pick the name. When I got my Kamari rear bar my best-friend said it gave her (the car) a big butt like "Jennifer Lopez"'; hence Jennifier. My Celica was called Celia... that one is obvious. A lot of people give things names because it is the human way to humanize things, or impose human characteristics on things because of the feeling that the thing produces in that person, or the characteristic of the thing that separates it from other similar things (e.g. it handles differently, plays a note differently, just perfectly weighted, feels ???), or simply as a sign of ownership. Usually the named thing has some form of relationship with the owner; either it is a key work tool, there is a love-hate relationship, the thing is heavily dependent on, or important part of the family (e.g. Betsy who takes the kids to school). A musician gives his guitar, violin a name. A cricketer gives his bat a name. A fighter pilot has a name for his combat plane. A race-car driver has a favourite chassis for the year (and calls it after one of this favourite girlfriends)... I heard that in the early 90s Emerson Fittipaldi and his team mechanics performed an exorcism on one of his assigned race cars because of her wicked ways. Sometimes people give things names, but that name don't stick most probably because the name does not suit the things characteristics or match the relationship with the thing. It aint 'ghey', it is just human nature. Oh things that are assigned names are more often taken better care of then those that are not.
you can't kill 'THE METAL' Unofficially called mine "The Metal" Why? because it's gun metal but also "you can't kill the metal" (so few people will get that but anyway...song by "Tenacious D" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJ3emd3phLY ) Its persona is sometimes male, when its just like a best mate you want to hang out with, and sometimes female...for either being a "good girl", or for being an "evil bitch" haha. Love/hate, it's my side kick for sure. it's an extension of who I am, for better, for worse. "No one can destroy the metal. The metal will strike you down with a vicious blow"
Me and everyone just calls it the 300, when its being a b!tch its called a fair bitch not a fairlady lol
naming cars a bit of a chick thing, my ex calls her car klaus coz its an audi...lol - i stick with ZED, the monsta, the beast, the money pit etc
