Mine's Sybil - because she has multiple personalities. Motor and exhaust of a muscle car. Interior of a luxury car. Looks of a family sedan.

My '00 is called the "Money Pit Racer".

When I was 16 I named my 89 RS Dante, cause I thought at the time it a pretty bad name. I soon found that it was kinda of stupid and I almost changed it but everyone knew the car as Dante so I just kept it. When I got the SS I couldnt think of a name for it, so it went a year with out a name. Anyhow this past monday I sold the RS to a kid, and well..just like in KnightRider 2000, the name got moved over to the new car. So the SS is named Dante. I love that name again...

My 2000 Z in Phoenix. My exgirlfriend named her. She was thinking about the color (MMM) and then Phoenix popped into her head. Thus she was born!
