    I have had an increasing amount of people (mostly women) asking me what my car's name is.

    Am I missing something here? I never thought to name it, or any car for that matter. But they keep telling me that such a pretty car should have a name.

    I guess ***** Galore is out, right?

    Dunno, it worked for James Bond, might work for you.

    How about Alotta ***hina. Seemed to work ok for Austin Powers.

    I don't think I've ever named a car. I've called them names when they wouldn't start, but i don't think "piece of ****" is going to work for you.

    My ex-girlfriends bimmer was "Fritz"...but I think that is a German thing.

    I always find after I name my car it sells.

    Mongo is 39343, a Mondial 8, owned by Erik Nielsen... I believe the name actually came from Erik's wife...

    Here's Mongo...

    I use to call my car "Dammit," as in, "Start, dammit." Now I call the Ferrari, "Red." I often refer to my Land Rover as, "Mud Puppy." I seldom ever go in the mud. It's a reference to "Rover." The rest of the cars are just **** boxes.
