Well, back in 1978 I had a 69 camaro named" Babymaker", Can't remember why I named it that.

And how many are there Gary???

Shelly - my car was named after my house kitchen - not a restaurant. Think you know that, but others may not. Sorry to the wives, but I chose the car over the kitchen remodel!!!

I miss those days too. I've been talking about it with my 6-year-old daughter, what to name my about-to-be resurrected Super-Gas Vega. When I bought the rolling chassis in early 1988, it was called "Strip Teaser". I took that lettering off and changed the name to "Student Driver" since I was a college student.

After I took out 5 sections of top end guardrail after a top-end engine explosion, I was tempted to rename it "Sudden Impact". I think I'll name it "Old School" now, since it's totally an old school car and I plan to race it "old school" style (low mph). Other options included "Down Zero", a phrase from a perfect run in pistol competitions.

Amongst the local cars back in the 80's, there was a guy whose race car was called the "Panty Raider". Then he built a car for his wife and they called it, appropriately enough, the "Pants Raider". The late Marv Buchanan, who owned a local pizza parlor, called his car the "Pizza Vendor". Ken Heard always called his cars "Rip City", which was a catch phrase for our local NBA team (Portland Trail Blazers). He bought a Pinto from a guy whose last name was "Cross", and it was called "Crossfire". Ken left that name on it for quite a while. Jim Donaldson has a Pinto which has been called "Vindicator" for at least 25 years that I remember. One local car which never had its name on the outside but was nevertheless well known is "Old Gold", the 1939 Chevy 4-door owned by Bob Comeau and driven by his son Paul.

Nowadays I occasionally drive a fast diesel pickup at diesel events. It is powered by a Chevy/Isuzu Duramax engine, and called the DirtyMax.
