In the 2nd pic of 'The Turd'...notice the FEMA 'Blue Roofs' on the houses in the background...compliments of Hurricane Ivan...Probably 70%+ of the houses in our area are graced with the lovely bluetop....I am one of the VERY LUCKY 30% without one.

The Weissach was christened "Pattycakes", my Mom's nick-name.
Both are timeless and classy.
My son, Zack, failed to re-name "Snowy" the White 81' from Wyoming at my behest
prior to wrecking it - 20 day's after I drove home in the well maintained fab looking critter-.
I am a firm believer in naming machinery as one tends to take better care of something if it is personalized.
All thru the repair process I harped on Zack to give Snowy a new name....then had to eliminate
some of the choices for obvious reasons: Gronk xxx, Kraut xxx, Bad - *** xxx, and a host of other skater/street boarder trash names. We are currently down to " White *****", and
"Herman the German" .... so, obviously, Zack is not interested in naming his 81' or the process will take longer in his particular case.

My wife, who names everything, animate and inanimate, in her world, called my first 928 "Flying P", for no known reason, and promptly transferred the name to my second shark, where it has stuck.

Mark... eeeeuuuw! In medical parlance, your "Turd" would be known as a tarry stool! And that's also caused by hemorrhage - usually smaller in amount, but chronic and ongoing!
John Struthers... Hey, if you've got a white car, why not the "Great White" shark?

My kids call it "Sharky". Not too original, but they came up with it themselves... my wife calls it the Batmobile.
Our Odyssey is "The Funmobile" because we use it for road trips, camping trips, canoeing, etc.
My wife calls my Blue Accord (which she dislikes) "That goddam ugly rental car", despite the fact that we OWN it.

Mine named herself somewhere in the middle of Alabama on the road trip home from New York, when I opened up the throttle and thought, "hmmm. . . wicked!"
