My girlfriend refers to it as "your god damn car" LOL

 

My friends call it "that car" as in are you ever going to finish "that car".

 

I just call it The Datsun. Never really understood naming a car but to each his own. I just want to call it a finished car! LOL

Haven't named a car since I was in high school. I had a 66 Ford 3/4 ton with a 390 small block, and granny 4. Her name was Mary Lou. With the ENTIRE starting football offensive squad in the back, and 2 people with me in the cab, I would smoke rubber all the way down the street! I had fun with the 3rd gear torque pulling away from folks. What a monster.

 

ps. Jon would remember this: it had variable timing, as well.

Around others my car is "the Datsun" or "the Z" also.....

But my car does have a name. It's a males name.

His name is Daz. (and the fact that it is a Datsun Z Car is a pure co-incidence, believe it or not). To me, from a front-on angle, he looks a little sleepy/dopey, and Daz goes well with that. To me it's a name that even if he does something wrong (which is quite likely to be the case) I just can't get 'that' mad at him. With a name like Daz, it's hard.

To avoid confusion between me and my girlfriend's Z discussions, I decided to give them all names easy for her to remember:

 

1972 240zt - Kiwi

 

1982 280zxt - Turbie

 

1982 280zx v8 - The V8

 

1977 280z 2+2 - Ugly (She'll be painted in a couple of weeks, so hopefully I can change her name -- although it may be difficult with that damn back seat :-) )

 

Kiwi seems to be about the most fitting name for the 240 -- I actually grew accustomed to it.
