Default Who names their race car?

One of my track mates has this thing where he names his Porsches. Usually stripper names. You know who you are.

Is this a Porsche thing? Am I late to the party, or is he just more in touch with his female side than I thought?

No stripper names - simply black Martini and white Martini.

Yes you are late. Very late.

My 911 is Bianca
My Miata is Moxie

Both are women.
Like me.

I named my race car...

"That God*mn F**ing Piece of Money S*cking pile of Pig Sh*t"

But... I'm just a hopeless romantic.

Your kids have good taste in cartoons. Often times I've caught myself sitting down and watching Phineas and Ferb if my kids have it on...

Entropy and Bankruptcy is as far as I get when considering car names and I'm afraid to actually use them!

Been around drag race cars most of my life, many were named.

The best, IMO, was a Black '68 Camaro C/SM, 288 cu in, 11,500 rpm Small Block, that would just about put it on the rear bumper every launch, named "KONG"

Funny, I never bothered naming the 924 racecar, despite many years of racing, countless wins, podiums, and a couple of lap records. It's just "the #77"...

The other car, which has barely managed some wins, earned a name before she even hit the track... Tallulah

My wife says that's cause she's fast and loose and all the guys love her...

I say it's because when she goes, boy does she go... but most of the time she's a cast-iron bitch!!

Ha !

I have to confess I named mine "Snow White" ......997 Cup and she got the name because it takes 7 dwarves to keep her running ( apologies to the guys in the shop and to "little people" and to any body else out there that that's going to flame me for a non PC thing )
