My wife has named her '97 855 GLT "Turbo MomCar™" (Even has it's own theme song).


Now.....
Lol

Why is momcar-. Why is that Trademarked?

Did u actually get a trademark on the turbo momcar-

Too awesome.


Yeah, I just call my cars something simple.

The TA
The Jeep
The Caddy
The Golden Nugget - 94 gold 940
The wagon. The Volvo. The Vette.

But my 2008 red Corvette was called the
RokkittBass Vette

Plate was RKTBASS

now.... Back to the OP


Yup! Raspberry is a great GREAT name!

And that purple 960 I saw in Georgia was very cool. First time I ever saw that color and it was in pristine condition!

Haha! MomCar...because she's a mom, and it's her car..

No "official" registered trademark. We're just being silly with it

To the OP.
Squall fits. When you look at the weather radar and see a "squall line" of storms coming...what color are they? Red.

The Others- '83 TBird turbo, '85 Mercury Marquis LTS (1 of 134), '86 LTD Wagon, '81 Granada GL, '76 Beetle, '93 F-150 I6

LOL I dont like tesla period. Although I could have my own Tusla, it is corny.
Colonel Raspberry or Colonel Ketchup (reference to a previous comment of Colonel Mustard :P ) are more cool than corny.
The Squall is kinda fierce I suppose. I need to repipe the section of exhaust where 2nd PO replaced muffler with piping .25" to .5" narrower than factory piping. Sounds kinda like a tin can revving up. Still sounds good when getting up to 5k rpm.

Shoutout to erikv11 for suggesting Squall. Follow up shoutout to Chuck W for seconding that. Shoutout again to Chuck W for telling me about Colonel Mustard because I almost picked Colonel Ketchup for a more goofy name (not as manly) which is more my style LOL. Thank you everyone for your input. As a last joke, Oklahoma's wind today was practically a Zonda. :P :lol: volvolugnut, did you lugnut yourself to the ground or did you blow away?
