Giving your car and engine a nickname??

Eric4Nitrous · 07-24-2002, 09:48 PM

Just curious what everybody named their car/engine. I nicknamed the Car "Brutus" and the engine Bambi..lol don't ask.

I want to hear what everybody else named theirs.

I named my 4 cylinder Shorty.

Out of all my cars that one is my favorite

Me and my friends just call my car "the GT".....not original or witty, but i guess it works.

I'm thinking about calling mine SALY. It is a reference to an old song, while being an accountant joke.

As for the motor, its just a 281 cammer. So I figure I'll refer to the car as a 'cammer GT'. Buddy of mine has a cammer Deuce, but that is an old 427 sohc nascar.

congrat's on the 97 duece, gotta get you some 99+ heads, help's a lot, good luck, cya.

Tod · 07-25-2002, 04:07 PM

just named my car the other day. "Sweetness". in a reference to my g/f mostly, and also because almost everytime i get a complement on the car it's "sweet car man" or "sweet ride" or something like that.

as for the engine....."Hoss". because it's the biggest, fastest, loudest engine i've ever had the pleasure of owning/driving.

Topless In Texas · 07-25-2002, 11:51 PM

"Topless" for the car...(duh!) and as far as the engine goes...I havent thought of that. If I did it would prolly be...."Where My Sunglasses?" LOL!

ERIC.................................'BAMBI'?????? ???????????????

Dont sound like no Bambi to me!

I just give mine project names. The '79 Pace Car is 'Project Pick Up the Pace' and the '00 is 'Project World Domination' (or 'Project Horse C0ck' if you want the non-PC version).

mustanggt350 · 07-26-2002, 05:03 PM

Scarlet came about from my friend. He said he gave her the name because of the color. Plus he likes saying I have scarlet fever!! HA, HA, HA!! I'm such a mustang nerd. The engine on the other hand has no specific name, I just cuss at it a lot when I'm working on the damn thing!!
