Name my car!

Post by Speedy88 »

Ok, I've got many names to call my car. Most are what my friends call it such as in the question "are you bringing X tonight?" But really I can't settle on one name to call it. Here are the justifications for the names, it's up to you guys to vote it! It will be set in stone forever.

The Tardis
Such named after a stoner asked me "did you go back in time to buy that car?" He says it should be called the tardis for it's age and surprisingly roomy interior.

Ovlov
Speaks for itself, something a guy called Dave likes to call it.

Voo voo
Same guy, also easy to manipulate the back letters to say this with 2 volvo badges :lol:

Scruffy
I named it this for the make-do repairs on the body, dents here and there and the general greyness of it (not to mention grey with black trims... now that's scruffy.) Also I can't be bothered to wash it half the time. And the mud guards are held on with wire insulation.

LOL
Because this would be funny for the internets within me. Also easy to make a badge for it on the back.

Brick
It's a volvo. Nuff said although I think this name is taken.

Got to be scruffy for me, Ovlov really really annoys me for some reason, much overused.

The Tardis, no doubt. Both are stylish design, surprisingly roomy from inside and as unknown to those who have normal mind.

Yes, I did like from Doctor Who quite a lot and still do, might even build few Daleks to guard my property, how ever not much of working versions as those were evil :lol:

Well I have seen only those 2005 to maybe 2007 episodes, but still it is quite funny series which most finns seem not to be getting at all :roll:

No, that sounds cool though. And yes VND, I thought I mentioned it too much actually :lol:

Saloon > Hatchback. If you're gonna get an ugly car, it may as well be the ugliest of the ugly car.
