GP GT: how about Great White?


I dunno, the new car needs a name I think... Diva has come to mind, but I'm far from settling on a name yet.

No names yet....

But I have a slogon for my car...
"The curse of today will be better tomorrow"

So far, every problem or repair I have done on this car doesn't work right til the following day.

Examples:
1) Fixed my blower motor one day, it worked, but the settings acted up. Day later, everything was fine, no problems since.

2) Just the other day; fog light was burned out, put a new one in, worked for a little while, then both foglights went out, got mad! Waited the next day, turned them on, all is fine, everthing works.

....it's sooooo weird!

Taz, thats what is known, by it's technical terminology, as a Gremlin. Or when used in a plural context, Gremlins. As in: Taz's car has some very tempremental Gremlins at work.

I know everyone here refers to me as T-Bat but the GP is "ThunderBat"...and his stablemate, my 2004 Chrysler Sebring convertible is "SunRunner" since its getting the retro "road runner" treatment. I often refer to them as "The Bat and The Bird"

I told my wife when we got married that the only mistress she would ever have to deal with would be the one parked in the driveway...in that vein she calls the T-Bat my "superhero costume" and the 'Runner she calls "the other woman" lol

Shortly after buying the GP, I replaced the battery at the shop..one of the battery bolt threads sheared off, and sliced my thumb wide open (That got her a few nicknames.. devilsmile

I have a GT so it has no balls and therefore should have a feminine name, so I went with kate. Suits her I think.

I don't have to come up with names - my wife always does it almost immediately for me...

Her sentra is "Jack"
The GP is "Polarsis"
and the GTO is "Booga the Goat"

... I don't even try to ask for reasons/rationalizations behind her names anymore, I just roll with it.

Betty... after Betty Boop. I didn't name her. Why? Because my GT is red and Betty Boop wore a red dress.
