Special name for your boxster ?

I'm curious to know how many members have a special name for their boxster ? Mine is of course the Dangermobile ! Although, an ex-bird of mine use to call it the Bananarina.

Dark Mistress:

This encompasses her appearance, demeanor/character; the feeling she evokes; her emotional and monetary drain on me....phew

Milliemaxmachine, Named after 2 of my favorite pets that I adopted from shelters for the abused and homeless. Millie was beaten,starved and full of disease when I got her. The Vet gave her just a few weeks to live but the Vet friend and I decided to try the drug Interferon along with a weekly Depo shot. 12 expensive ,but wonderful years later she died. Max (who does my typing for me) was found burned,beaten,starved and after alot of time and care is enjoying a good life with us with no one to ever abuse him again. My wife and I love animals and support our shelters. MAX

"Zel", short for Griselda, a good German name I thought. Means 'gray battle maiden' or some such thing. Or,
could be from Zelda, of Princess Zelda fame. Not really sure...one or the other, maybe a little of both.

Another German name, of course

I chose the name Udo for my 2000 S. There is no particular reasoning, asides from it's a strong German man's name.
I tell my wife, "Udo and I are going out to waste fuel tonight".
It works for me.

AGREED! :dance: Too many shelters with too many abandoned and/or abused animals. Finding homes for all is damn near impossible. The best part? When you adopt one of these guys and get them over their initial situation they often make the best possible pets.

Not reallly. The plates say "SPYDR" so if anything it's the spider. But nothing special.

my plate is "MYOFFICE" so whenever I receive a call or the wife wants to know where I am - I am in my office.. I also visit clients at home so I have always claimed that my office is my laptop and whatever I am driving.
