Does your 1M have a name?

Moo · 11-03-2011, 12:11 PM

Fellow enthusiasts, does your 1M have a pet name?

If so, did you base it on the color, tag ID, butt dyno, and/or other factors?

Cheers

I call mine "Car"

FLEX///M · 11-03-2011, 12:22 PM

I call mine Flex, and when in sport mode, I call him 'Clockwork Orange'! Kind of like a Dr. Jekyl thing.

Don't judge me!

Anyways, Clockwork Orange was obviously because of the color but also because the 1M seems so natural at what it does, how it drives. Yet its like clockwork as well. So it's a natural machine

...I guess... idk.

And the flex was just because it sounded fun.

nebby · 11-03-2011, 12:32 PM

My son alternates between 1Mer and Ringer.

Haven't decided yet, its between Elsa or Sabine. Leaning towards Elsa...

DavidMc · 11-03-2011, 02:40 PM

A couple people thought I should name her "Aida" after the ship she's on right now. I thought "Valencia" had a nice ring to it. I'll wait until I drive it. I'm sure it will come to me.

Nice. I like it. Let me guess, your pets are named "Cat" and "Dog"?

Feuer Mohn is her actual name, but I call her Leeloo

carchrism5 · 11-03-2011, 03:06 PM

People at work make fun of my car and call it the following:
Skittle
Clown car
Roller skate
Shoe car
Pumpkin

sergeremi · 11-03-2011, 03:19 PM

You're rolling in a Z3M?

Being an AW, I'm thinking of naming her Emma or Grace.

TitanSteel · 11-03-2011, 03:48 PM

My parents call it "The Beast" lol

Dee Pee · 11-03-2011, 03:51 PM

david.orr · 11-03-2011, 04:32 PM

I'm still waiting for mine but my family refers to it as 'Jaffa' whenever we speak about it, my wife especially.

Ascari · 11-03-2011, 04:43 PM

My wife calls it the Molar, largely because:

1. It's white
2. It's bulging at all corners; and
3. The wait for it was long and painful

...she does love the Molar now that it's here

bvez3ro · 11-03-2011, 05:10 PM

No Name yet, but with the black kidney it looks like a Stormtrooper.
