There is quite a definitive history of naval superstition regarding changing names, perhaps with some merit.

I recently changed mine to Mandrake. It was RedBat but that never felt right and I never really used it. Most of the time it was just the little red car.

My 1st Rick Wakeman album was Journey to the Center of the Earth, still have an LP here some where.
Been a while since anyone has replied to this thread and since we have a lot of new members join MR in the past nine months let's try and find out some more Car Names and the story behind the name?
My Miata's name is Aikito.
96 Montego, replacing a 95M... I miss: My running peeps in Tampa, running barefoot @ Clearwater Beach and First Choice BBQ, in Brandon. In So Cal I miss: The Malibu Canyons, CA 33 and In & Out Burgers ! I'm from Tampa, if I was from Tampa Bay, I'd be a fish!

Ganbaru; as it summarizes my vision about the car.
"Ganbaru (頑張る lit., stand firm), also romanized as gambaru, is a ubiquitous Japanese word which roughly means to slog on tenaciously through tough times. The word Ganbaru is often translated to mean "doing one's best", but in practice, it means doing more than one's best."

I have named all my cars. Some choices were better than others (my Speed6 was Shachi, Japanese for orca). For Minnie, I was stuck for a bit. Thought about the MM abbreviation for the color and then I had the song "Minnie The Moocher" in my head for some reason (which sort of mates up to the MM), and I like Minnie Driver. Minnie it was. Some people think it's Mini because of her size, once I found out Revlimiter could do special nameplates for the door sills I got them so there would be no confusion.
