Default Do You Name Your Shark?
Well, it's pretty apparent that most owners refer to their cars in the feminine gender. Anybody have a pet name for their shark? Mine's Lucille.

Mark...

The Turd?

Speaking thereof, here's your medical tip for the day: Feces is a plural noun. That singular amount of feces delineated by two successive contractures of the **** sphincter is a faex. Don't thank me. It's all in the interest of education. Although, as a name for your car, faex just doesn't quite have the same panache!

"The Shark". She hasn't revealed her name to me as yet... I think she's shy.

I think my favorite that I've seen here is Fat Bully. That is so fitting.

My GT is "The Beast", as she can be quite a handful when driven in anger. LOL. Also, she looks a wee bit more aggressive than your average 928. Hopefully this spring she'll be sporting one of Andy's Supermodel S/C kits, and I can show 425+ RWHP in my sig line!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually 928andRC51 coined "Grey Missle", but I usually just call it "the grey car".

Hacker-Pschorr is the car (it's almost the same color as a Hacker-Pschorr bottle)
My 944S is called The Perfect Drug (long story) just called Perfect for short.
Scirocco is called Bickel because the license plate has BKL (gf's idea)
Audi - not yet
Beetle - not yet
