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.

To learn who Foamy is, visit http://www.illwillpress.com

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.
