Giving your car a name
I've been thinking of naming mine "Telstar" after the music I remember from the early sixties, and how advanced the Telstar satilite was for it's time. I just think there's a better name that fits her and i haven't found it yet.

I only have one, though, so it just gets called "Box". The Camry in the garage next to it is GQ, for Garage Queen -- she only comes out for loooong distance drives and Box takes care of the short trips . . . .
When I brought my RS 2.0 home my son said it looks just like a rubber duck. So now
She is named "Ducky"
My wife's Screen name, vanity plate, and RS 3.0 are "BoxEnvy". No Freudian slip intended.

I have a TCM Xb and I call her Indira 1. Becuase it means Goddess of Rain and Thunderstorms(Thundercloud, thunderstorm. get it?) and 2. because she tends to run butter when it's nasty and rainy outside. <3
Hello. This is my first post on this forum. I have a 2006 xB in Thundercloud Metallic. The only things I added at time of purchase were cruise and a roof rack for my bike. I got my box in late October of 2005, and it already has almost 14,000 miles on it. I've only been out of town in it once, and that was just Birmingham to Atlanta and back. The rest is intown driving. I love my car. My Mom calls it the Squaremobile. One of my friends from the radio club calls it XtraBoxy. As I am an amateur radio operator, the first name that came to mind was x-ray bravo. That's international phonetics for xB. So mine is called x-ray Bravo. It's my fourth car, and the first one I've named.
Well when I first heard someone call the xB a toaster I went home and thought about it. I remembere the movie "The Brave Little Toaster", so on occasion when I go over treacherous terrain for the xB or outrun someone to get into the lane before the merge or anything lol I call it that, the brave little toaster. It's weird but I honestly can't stop doing it.
I just named mine *(_)* MouseMobile. Seems to have some something that makes me think of Mickey at certain angles. I've even made some 'mods' to Mickey Mouse my ride. Hmmm..... Maybe I can write to Disney and see if I can talk them into helping me.......'Disney, Mickey Mouse my ride!!!'
