I've got a blacked out 2011 Nissan Sentra SER V-SPEC and its modified and loud. I need to come up with a name for her. Thinking something evil and dark. Any suggestions?

Personally I'm not a fan of naming my vehicles, but I feel like the really good ones become self-evident after spending some time with a vehicle. Otherwise it just seems forced and weird IMO.

Same here. The name should come to you, not be something you just choose arbitrarily. For example, my $500 Jeep immediately just became the Cheap Jeep because it made me laugh. My Miata on the other hand took over 2 years before my friend suggested Project Barbatos, after the ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos from Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans (Like my Miata, the Barbatos starts off the series as an antiquated, wrecked pile of junk that slowly gets repaired with parts from other units as well as new parts, and eventually becomes a well-honed piece of machinery.) My Subaru I owned for 3 years, and although I loved that car dearly, it never had a nickname

Your mom.

Then your friends could say things like "hey, lets go for a ride in your mom" and "I sure had fun with your mom last night" stuff like that.

Never name cars you plan to race or animals you raise to eat.

Affection will make you hesitate when the moment comes.

3rd on it will earn a name.

Let me expand on the "Ray" comment from before. On Venture Brothers the two henchmen from the Monarch drive a Sentra. The one guy (Henchman 24) sounds like Ray Romano.

Or you could name the car Henchman 24.

Agreed. The only vehicle I've ever named is my current track car. Because of an error of my machine shop I wiped out two crankshafts and bearing sets and had to swap cylinder heads 4 times, one of which ended up with me not torquing the camshaft sprocket bolt. Eventually leading to it coming off and wiping out a few valves. It then became known to me as SUE, for Series of Unfortunate Events.

My first turbo MX-6 was burgundy on burgundy and I called it the "Maroon Cacoon"

Ooh, I just thought of some more.

I'd love to see the thread title "need help with tightening up your mom's loose rear end" or "need to lighten your mom, help me put her on a diet"

Ok, I'm done.

The original Japanese name would be perfect...

..."Sunny".
