What's your car Name?

[TrancosRt]

Well, I find interesting that people (like me :P) name our cars, so I think it would be interesting to find out what's the forum members car name and what's the story behind it (if people want to explain, obviously).
My LB Yaris is called Rana-Way, and the story behind it is a little funny. Rana (in Spanish) means "Frog" and for some reason, my HB looks like a frog (go figure), so when first introducing the car to a friend, she started singing a song called Runaway, and well, the name stuck (It is worth mentioning that if Rana-way is pronounced in Spanish, it sounds like runaway:wink:).
My other 2 cars were called SuperK (the translation to English would be SuperJ- sorry I keep on naming my cars in Spanish) and SuperK2. The name came even before I got my first car because I was going to get a $900 beater which would be a piece of junk, hence, the name SuperJ(unk) (or SuperK(arcacha) in Spanish). I ended up getting a Not so POS car, but the car already had it's name :P.

^^^I believe there is already a thread on this if I remember correctly...I'm just too lazy to find it. But I like your story on how you got to your cars name.:thumbsup:

[60 Somethings]

Wife named both of our new Toyotas (replacing two Fords).

Our 2007 Yaris LB is named "Yari", and our 2006 4runner V8 is "Brutus".

Quite a different feeling when we switch from one to the other. "Brutus" is only driven about once a week - he is primarily for towing our CHALET hardsided, pop-up trailer.

[riceboy]

I don't have a name for the car... but she's a lady.........

[Jem_hadar]

Named her Cara.

Named after my favourite character (and fav type of characters an author has ever invented for a story) in my favourite fantasy series by Terry Goodkind, "The Sword of Truth".

Cara, in the series is a bad-ass Mord-Sith... but the details of what a Mord-Sith are kinda irrelevant.

Ironically, Yaris Revenge msged me today saying he noticed my "title": "MORDSITH" and turns out he reads this series too and its his favourite!

Even MORE ironic, he TOO has a car named "Cara", a dark red Pontiac Vibe...

I dont like the colour red on cars, but if my car was red, it would do her name even more justice, and Mord-Sith always wear blood-red leather outfits.

:thumbsup:

[swng]

I just call mine "The small one":smile:.

[El Jefe]

i don't have a set name for mine, but yer-ass comes out alot.
my previous cars where Mia, my 91 interga named after a pornstar that the car reminded me of, and mysti my 96 cobra, that one was easy because it was a mystic cobra. the yaris will get a girls name when i find one that suits her

[Katana]

In Jap, Hayaku Semai Kira=small fast car...

[DonnyRebel]

My daughters said it looks like a clown car. The name stuck, hence my avatar.:iono:

tell me seriously tho, when I look at the front straight on and squint it kinda looks like a clown with a sh*t eating grin. anyone else besides me see that?

[Jem_hadar]

I named my baby....

JaJa...

Ja for short.

Like the name. Reminds me of "Ja La", name of a game in a series I'm reading :w00t:

[DonnyRebel]

In Jap, Hayaku Semai Kira=small fast car...

maybe change the name to Hayaku Kira

It might be small and it might be a car but it definitely is not fast!

[田中秀樹]

maybe change the name to Hayaku Kira

It might be small and it might be a car but it definitely is not fast!

you took out the word that means small, narrow.

but i'd write it as chiisai小さい, hayai早い　 kuruma車. going with how you wrote your way of saying it. hayaku is more used for like hurry up type of deal and an adverb. chiisai is more on par with how you're describing the car than semai. and kira i have no clue what that means, but i only know of three terms to describe an automobile: "jidosha"　自動車, "kuruma"　車, and "ka~"　カー.

[Jfoofoo]

Precious.... my precious.... :tongue: :tongue: :tongue:

[dngz]

[junior]

Pogey!

[fantabulousbaby]

I have a nautical blue S.. I'm a woman, so I named HIM Yoshi, cuz the front looks like a dinosaur head. And he was my ride all the way through Super Mario :wink:

[IsLNdbOi]

Meteorite Metallic LB named "Unit 7".

[eTiMaGo]

No name yet, but I'm thinking "Prikinoo", which is the local name for those reallllly hot, very small chillis, the ones that leave your mouth on fire...

Or maybe Lil' Red Riding Hood, although it's a bit different from the story as the big bad wolf is inside :biggrin:

Or maybe even Groovylicious or Groove Machine... The marketing campaign here for the Yaris revolves around the word Groove/groovy: Feel the groove, are you groovy?, be groovy, etc etc

decisions, decisions. I know, "Groovy little red prikinoo machine"! :thumbsup:

[ItsMyDaily]

I called mine the "little bastard" and the name kinda got stuck with it.

[FoEKuZ]

we named our silver liftback after a local baitfish.
Pogey!

i also think pogey,spelled pogi (pronouned the same)...means handsome man in tagalog(filipines talk)

so you have a handsome man yaris....:cool:

So when I thought about it, it was "hmmm The cars white... Shana was part white, the car is japanese... shana is japanese... holy shiznit!
