What will you call your 1series??

BForbes · 01-20-2008, 12:56 PM

My family has a little weird tradition of naming their cars. How can you love something and not name it right? My friends address my current car as Lucy and have been doing it for years. :biggrin: Anyhow, I've thought this over and over and I've decided on a name for my 135i. I shall call her ''Angie." After Angelina Jolie. She is a person that men and women both find attractive. She commands about 20million a film. Fly's her own plane, drives motorcylces, U.N. ambassoador, adopts children from all over the world and has said she feels just as comfortable being with a woman as she does with a man. To sum it all up she does not give a **** what anybody thinks!! :smile:

Do any of your current cars have names? What do you plan on naming your 1 series?? You know you want to...lol

what do your parents do for a living if you dont mind me asking?

Dave · 01-20-2008, 01:19 PM

i will be naming mine 1sey

blackjoker · 01-20-2008, 01:30 PM

Haha, my berlina S2000 was named Janet :biggrin:

I heard that if you name your own car it is bad luck, and I've experienced bad luck with every car that I've named myself. So, this time around, someone else can name it.

Khobin~ · 01-20-2008, 01:59 PM

Can't say I've ever really named my cars...the XR4Ti was the "XR" or "the Merk"... Can't say what, if anything I would name this car.:iono:

Although a freind of mine has '68 Cougar he's named Julie, and he had a car named "Barbie"...because he bought it after it had been on fire...I think he too names all his cars.:wink:

btw, that photoshop looks like it needs some rubber on those rims, hehe.:wink:
