Title: CAR NAMES
Post by: John Betsch - "SADIE" on June 12, 2024, 23:02:07
I just read the ACBROCK posting regarding rust where he notes his 1966 230sl is named 'Minny"   I thoughT I probably was one of the few who named their cars?.  Mine is named SADIE which my wife named as "the Other Woman"

So how about an informal, non-scientific survey listing of members who have named their cars and why?

Maybe it might even turn into a Pagoda Notes or Pagoda World story?

Looking forward to the names and why!

Mine is named the White Princess -  princess because its the other woman and I store her in a heated garage under a cover and don't take her out in the rain or snow or ice.  Living in the Pacific Northwest on the Wet Coast of Canada renders the car pretty much useless (at least according to my wife).

Let’s keep this going. My SL is named BCW, which stands for Booze, and Cheap Women. People as me why I call it this, my reply is because when I was restoring it, people would as me where is all my money going, and I replied, on booze and cheap women.  Little did they know it was money spent on a car restoration.

The car is OOPS.  Bought it after I bought a 65 327/375 feulie vette named NOMORE

Yes mine is Minny because after spending way too much time and money on her I let my wife name her so hopefully she will get attached and stop asking when I am selling her.   I should have never let her know how much these cars are worth these days.

Ours is called SHADY :). She is black with tan, and I always feel like I am getting away with something when I drive her…

Just "Blue".  No idea when she started being called that, but - it's just "Blue".
