"Chewy" as in Chewbacca. It sounds like an angry Chewy at WOT.

I sometimes refer to it as "The Beast". no real name, though, and no gender unless I refer to it in German in the gender that is generally used for cars.

It's all in the interest of education. Although, as a name for your car, faex just doesn't quite have the same panache!
What it may lack in panache is well compensated for by a user - friendly double taper configuration.

Y'know, my shark is Guards Red. I'm re-thinkin' its name. I ought to go with "The Clot." Or "The Hemorrhage." So apt in so many ways!

I named mine Fliegen years ago, and the name stuck...

It is a german verb which means... "to-fly"

GRETA . Because she is big and burly and grumbles allot. Of course she's been quiet lately since the white stuff has started flying already.

After my wif found out why I wanted one of these, and started actively looking with me, cruizing through excite, ebay, and whatever else we could find, where 928's were listed, one day she was cruizin' through ebay, and a different color showed up, so she clicked on the add, and got the large pic displayed, whereupon she loudly exclaimed; "ROSY!!!"


As they have said, DONE DEAL!!!!
