Default Do you have a name for your 997?

Let's hear some of the names you guys have given to your 997.

Then tell us how you came up with the name or what it means to you.


I'll start. I named my car - "Beetlejuice".

Why? It has double meaning to me.

1) All 911's have a bit of the VW Beetle DNA deep down inside. A bit of the "Beetlejuice" so to speak.

2) The crazy Riviera Blue ext. color. A bit wild and crazy like Michael Keaton's character in Beetlejuice, the movie.


That's how I named my car. What did you guys come up with?

We adopted the first owner's name of "Brownie", although my buddies call it "Turd".
Macadamia with Cocoa interior. I kind of like "Turd" better. I drive the **** out of it

Mine is "the Bean". As in jelly bean. It's the color of a jelly bean and shaped a little like one.

Zeus... after the Greek God of Thunder and Lightning. It seemed to fit perfectly on seeng his yellow lightening-bolt brake calipers and hearing his engine rumble. He is a HE.

No name for my 911, but I do have a name for my Panamera.

At first I just called it the battleship, and then J Lo for a little while. (The car does have a big rear, don't you know!)

Finally I came up with "Hipper." That was a German battleship during WW II, and just seemed totally appropriate. It's the first I've ever named, but it just seemed to fit.
