Z-Luke Posted November 23, 2009 Share #1 Posted November 23, 2009 Did you name your Z? Is it a boy car or a girl car? Why did you choose that name, or did it just happen (and how)?I'm a new Z owner of an orange '70 240. I'm thinking of calling her Pumpkin, Dizzy, or Kitty.

Oiluj Posted November 23, 2009 Share #2 Posted November 23, 2009 My Z has no name as yet. Have to think about that.My previous "hobby" car was a 1960 MGA. It was named "Maybelle" after my best friends mother. Both his mother and the car had loads of personality.Years before I had a 1953 Willy's high-hood Jeep. It was named "Louise" after the same my buddy's girlfriend. Initially both were quite unreliable. The jeep got better, Louise didn't... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zs-ondabrain Posted November 23, 2009 Share #5 Posted November 23, 2009 My wife named the 240Z "The Mistress" as I spend almost as much time and money on the car as I do the Wife.The 260Z is "The Black hole" or the "Money Pit" as it's sucking the life out of me.And the Garage is known as the "Daves Harem" because that's where the Mistress's are.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastGuardZ Posted November 23, 2009 Share #6 Posted November 23, 2009 Her name is Kikka... (pronounced "Kee-Kuh) Direct translation... Orange Blossom Also the first jet powered Japanese air plane... an interceptor/ fighter-bomber / special attack plane manufactured by Nakajima during WWII. It has been my observation that in the US it is common to name cars female names where as in other countries male names are more common. I once asked a guy from Austrailia why he would give his car a male name and he stated something to effect of strength. I think the Z is too sexy to have a dude name, I don't find dudes sexy !

Z-Luke Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share #10 Posted November 23, 2009 Good names for good reasons! I still can't decide on one. What do you think of "Peach"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240ZX Posted November 23, 2009 Share #11 Posted November 23, 2009 Interesting.......I've owned my 1970 for 26 years and have yet to call it anything but "The Z Car"! Granted, there have been times when I have called it names but, that's another story. Although, I have in the past refered to it as my Japanesse Ferrari! Why, because I'll likely never own a FerrariROFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastGuardZ Posted November 23, 2009 Share #12 Posted November 23, 2009 I was thinking of painting the name kamakaZ on it after its done.It was a suisidal ride towing it home with a rusted/broken frame.Just be mindful of the fact there are still some WWII vets out there that lost friends in Kamikaze attacks... I mentioned getting a personalized license plate that read KAMAKAZ on it at a car show held at a VFW post and I got an ear full from some old sailors...
