Phaedrus - Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance says it means wolf. But it is not exactly correct. But that is kind of what you have. Something that is not what it seems but it is still bad ass. What is German for red wolf?



Hmm... a little too introspective for me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I would think something a little more lady-like.

If you want Germanic, think Helga, Inga, Anke, and (my fav) Petra.

Unless you name the car "Brian".

That might be nice.

I still regret the day I named my car. That reminds me, Mr. Yellowy Sunflower is about due for his first run of the Spring.

Good luck. Hope you're having a blast with Brian. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

Cars already have names. You have to wait for them to tell you what it is.

Don't force it. It will come on one of those awe inspiring cruises through the twisties, or maybe while you're cleaning bugs off the windshield.

That was Jon's nickname in highschool. So it's appropriate, but I think we have settled on "Brian".

Read the title of this thread. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/splat.gif) The car already has a name.

Who was the one with the idea and the resources to create this unique machine? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)
Call it what you want. You could even sell it. It will always be 'Nelson's 914'.

I named an old Mustang GT "Thor" and it seemed to fit. It was a macho machine...

You are welcome to use it.

This has been entertaining as I knew it would be! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

But I think more and more of not naming it, unless I get some inspiration out of nowhere. It really is simply my 914. I might still get a plate with MJOLNIR on it. Eh, not gonna rush out and get one for a year or so anyway.

Thanks guys for some cool suggestions though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif)

I just think it is really special and sweet that people have cutsie little names for their cars. I mean, isn't it just wonderful? Really? Isn't it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I have it on good authority that YOU secretly name your cars after Pam Grier's film characters, Ell-yut!

Actually, that's not too bad an idea ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Not a name but a license plate suggestion. Just so when you show those pesky tail draggers your tail lights you can say "I warned you.."

BAD 4 U

That was the plate on my 427 ci. tri-power 66 Chevelle. I think it's fitting.

BTW: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thisthreadisworthlesswithoutpics.gif)

Here's my old car. Does the plate fit? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
