myplasticegg Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 No led in here, but a hot rod none the less... A long night of hanging out with my buds netted the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbk240z Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Well, I have never named any of my cars. I am thinking of naming the 280Z I just got, (in great shape btw), after my grandpa. Sadly, he passed away on Feb. 16, 2007. I brought the Z home on Feb. 16, 2008. I just think it would be a small way of paying tribute to a great man. I wonder if he anything to do with me finding this clean Z for such a low price. R.I.P. Gramps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboboost Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 280zx = "The rusty one", for obvious reasons. 300zx = "Ricer", due to the large muffler that was on it when I bought it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4xwellmurd3r Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Harumi.（春実) it means Spring Beauty. my car's build date is 5/78 I like it XP being half japanese I felt it was fitting to give her a Japanese name. her birthday is coming up soon. She'll be 30 years old. I'm going to tease my little sister (turning 16) and ask her to give Harumi a present haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillZ260 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 This is something I've not gotten around to, but would like to have a name to refer to her as... I've though about Mouse in Japanese (nezumi), which would be a refrence to the small block 'mouse' motor in the car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSM Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I was out looking at my car this weekend thinking of this topic. I was thinking of a girl I used to date that I was so into at one point. One of those one sided relationships. Anyway, I've got a goofy personality. I'm kind of an extremist. Thus I’ve named my car, "Addiction".

Gollum Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Well, I always tend to name my guitars and cars. Can't really explain why either. I'm also a bit of a Gone in 60 sec fan (old and new) and for some reason giving my car a girls name just always fits. I guess that's ok since I've met several girls that consider their car their 'man'. My 280ZX is Chelsey. Just sounds like a girl next door name doesn't it? Again, I just can't explain it, it just fits. The new 280Z is still nameless, but I'm thinking Elaine or Helen, which are basically the same name if ya didn't know. I'm leaning towards Elaine because if I name her Helen people will ask about the relation to troy, though I do like the sound of helen more.

CORPCRIM Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I havent named my Z's but my friends have.. My 80 280zx - Darla... named because of a song they thought I liked. My 71 240z - Dosojin... named because Dosojin is the Japanese God of the Roads I don't know why the names have to start w/ a D but my friends seem to keep doing that.

Careless Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 ummmm I had a girl name my 280z "Isabella" cause in italian "Bella" means "Beautiful", and since we're both italian; Is'a Bella! Not sure if I like the name though, cause she's not 'bella' at all right now. My Z is like the girl that you treat like dirt, and she sticks to you like mud. except this one actually has control of my money to a certain extent. I think I'll name my 87 Turbo "Isabella" cause it's a beautiful car for the price I paid, and it's in great condition. I think I'll name my 280z "John", named after the man who left the car with his wife after passing away, who later gave it to me for free "as long as I take the mags and tires with it". Or I could name it "Karen" after her... we're like fam now hmmmmz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya know? to me, a lot of cars already have a character, you just have to find a name that fits the cars personality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
