It's on my plate (below).

Unfortunately, it's not as obscure as it was before the Narnia movie came out last winter. :(

I named mine The Escape Pod. He's little and white like the "escape pods" used on Star Trek . Plus he's also my "escape pod" on the weekends . He also has personalized plates ES8P POD. He seems pretty happy with that....

The Black Pearl!

Murtogg: The Black Pearl is a real ship.
Mullroy: No, it's not.
Murtogg: Yes it is, I've seen it.
Mullroy: You've seen it?
Murtogg: Yes.
Mullroy: You haven't seen it.
Murtogg: Yes, I have.
Mullroy: You've seen a ship with black sails that's crewed by the damned, and captained by a man so evil that Hell itself spat him back out?
Murtogg: No.
Mullroy: No.
Murtogg: But I have seen a ship with black sails.

I've thought about changing it, but it seems wrong to do so at this point...(10000+ miles). It fits well though. and if sex matters here... Male.

I think I've answered this before but I'll answer it again seeing my baby has had a name change (sort of);

Her real and first name is "Bokke" which is Japanese slang for something I won't mention...we'll just say it has something to do with a hard wooden sword (basically something guys get when they see a really nice car or lady)
Her new and more Family friendly name is "Pink Slip" for many diferent punny reasons

I originally toyed with "The Gizmo" (might be confusing to my dog Gizmo) and "The Imperial Storm Cooper" (Try making a vanity plate out of that!). Then last night I was online watching the cultural ranting of my favorite squirrel (who is silver) and it hit me. When my car arrives in 2 or 3 weeks, he will be called "Foamy".

In addition to the silver color, Foamy's huge eyes and the diagonal eyebrows remind me of some of the car's features.

I'm so sad. Everybody has a name for their Minis and I can't think of one. Any suggestions? It's Liquid Yellow if that helps.
