Giving your car a name
 
So , I saw that white xa's are nicknamed pandas, which is so cute, but does anyone have a name for blue xa's? I can't think of anything good. I was going to call my car the japanese word for blue, but that words is pronounced like "owie" and that is a bit dumb sounding. But I still want to be a total crazy xa fan and name my car. Am I the only one? Do other people name their scions?? :nails:

Well, I haven't GOT my Scion yet (waiting a week now, but that's a long story; tomorrow morning they promise me) but I have named all my other cars.

I had a Camry named Max and a Civic named Electra.

My friend has a RAV4 and named it "Suvie" as in a li'l mini SUV. :P

It's fun to name cars, especially one like the xA since it has so much personality!

Blue color is a bit hard too name though. I think 'aoi' is a cute, there's also sky (or 'sora' in romanji) you can even combine it to get sky blue or 'aoi sora' :P

How about 'Dora' after the character in Finding Nemo? I think it fit well given the quirky but hugely fun nature of our cars :P

Aoi Sora (Sora Aoi?) is the name of a Japanese "Idol" (model)...

I personally don't have a name for my car... Although, it has been called "the scion," "the panda," and "your car." :lol:

My wife coined my blue Xa " the Mistress". Here's why:
She came to me at 40 ( MIdlife Crisis time )
She's small, tight and curvy
If I push her too hard, she threatens to scream
She turns heads whenI'm seen with her ( I used to drive 4x4 trucks - I had three in a row)

And I'm constantly looking to but her things that I hope my wife doesn't find out about.

^^^ That is hilarious! The name fits so well with your car~ pray that the wife doesn't get jealous of your mistress soon :silly:

Car Names
 
I named my Rs 1.0 "The Hottness"

It was how I described the car when i first saw it in the dealership.

My frineds laught because when I turn the car on, the radio screen says "The Hottness"

SKIonBUN 02-04-2005 06:05 PM

how do you do that...to your screen? is that satellite?

nds_CARnivore 02-04-2005 06:38 PM

The owners manual tells how to change the display name. Mine says " the Mistress".

Q-Bert 02-04-2005 07:48 PM

I had min for about a day-and-a half before i named it. Q-Bert

ChristInside 02-04-2005 11:07 PM

I have a white xB. I haven't named it yet, but i always have a name for my cars. My friends all call it the 'milk truck', but i dont like it.

Oni-Haya 02-04-2005 11:59 PM

Mine is the Fire Rooster after the year I was born. You can translate that to a temperature and another name for rooster.

But I like "the mistress" name too ... it sure fits!!!
