I named my 1964 Volvo 122 "Max" after Sweedish actor Max Von Sydow. Bought that car for $250 with 90K on it. Sold it with 140K on it, and it was still running on its original engine (no engine work at all) and original clutch.

None of my subsequent cars have had names. The S2000, beyond being just the "S," has a strong enough character not to need a further name. Also, somehow "Toshiro" (Mifune) does not make it.

But my girlfriend calls it Princess because she loves to drive the thing. She is a princess as well so they get along really well.


Wow, is that gay. One says something like that while watching Pretty In Pink- not on a car site.

Grover was the name my ex-gf gave to my old TL.

I just call my S2k "Sexy Beast." I think she's damn sexy.

After careful consideration mine was christened "Mz. Giggles".
There are valid reasons for that but the logic is somewhat cryptic . . . . . . . . . . . . .
NOT!
