UBOW 05-09-2005 05:50 AM

12 years ago when Mitsubishi came out with their van my kids asked me what it was. I replied, "It's an UBOW." "An UBOW?", they asked. "Yes, an Ugly Box On Wheels!"

When I came home with my xB RS 2 my daughter said, "Dad, you bought yourself an UBOW!"

The name sticks and my car is so christened. Of course I like to think of it as Ultimate Box On Wheels. :P

I named mine "Yeti Machine." I almost died when I realized that you can change the welcome screen on the stereo to say what ever you want. This car is just too much fun!

kiyofox 05-17-2005 02:45 PM

yet another name
 
I have a Phantom Grey xA.
I've been thinking about naming my car "Jack". As in Jackrabbit, cause it is fast and peppy. For some reason it got stuck in my head that my little car reminds me of a rabbit, with it's "ready to hop off the line" stance. And usually with the way I drive it, the name fits.

SirScion 05-17-2005 04:21 PM

what have you done to your car to make it fast? I want to know!
Peppy...yes, Fast...no.

Randi 05-18-2005 10:21 PM

I call my pgp xa "Hermie" Reason: it's like a hermaphrodite (is it a car, miniture van, suv, hatchback, or what???)

cackleman 05-19-2005 02:18 AM

I named my xA "HAL"

anyone ever seen 2001 a space odyssey?

Panny 05-19-2005 02:25 AM

Yay for scifi names!

My phantom grey xA has been officially dubbed Cylon ala Battlestar Gallactica. I'm planning to putting a running red LED in the front grill and get custom CYLON plates.

bahamut_zero 05-19-2005 09:52 PM

I though about naming my Susan, but then I decided against it.

SirScion 05-19-2005 11:08 PM

Name it Nasus, it give an ordinary name an air of mystery when you turn it around....actually, it just sounds cool, like a dragon or something.

robbiej 05-20-2005 06:05 PM

Thinking of getting personalized plate that read scionara.
