New Car?
The ‘backup car’ plan is moving forward! Provided all works out with the salvaged title information, I will be purchasing Jocelyn’s white ‘97 Nissan Altima within the next month or so.
Don’t worry, this is not the end of the Acclaim to Fame. This second vehicle will serve as a means for me to do repairs on the Acclaim when she suffers without the stress of needing to borrow a car, or bum rides off my friends.
The problem is, I need a name for the new car. Something powerful and definitive like Kurt’s THE DIVA, Shaun McQuaid’s BLACKHOLE, or Sander’s THE CHARIOT. Something that works best when capitalized.
Right now I’m thinking THE DICTATOR.
or THE NISSAN ALTIMAMA. (THE ALTIMAMA for short)
other ideas include:
IRON WHEEL.
THE TITAN.
THE SCORPION.
STEEL JUSTICE.
your suggestions and comments are welcome!
ghost - must be in lower case and is in Italics.
Moby Dick - The great White Whale.
JAZZ - The White Autobot from Tansformers ( http://www.lnopcg.com/tfmemory/tfbio/autobot/jazz.jpg)
if I named it ghost, I’d have to paint it purple and exchange the steering wheel with an x-box controller.
My ideas…
Whitey
Ultimate Altima
James
DIRTY ‘n’ PURTY
WHITE TOAST
THE PALE GALE
ALTIMA - WARRIOR OF DESTINY
ALTIMATE SHOWDOWN OF ALTIMATE DESTINY
TIN MANTIS SLAM (anagram!)
BRUCE
I like STEEL JUSTICE.
How about:
THE STALLION
WHITEY
ZUBECH
What about “Il Tasmanians” (another anagram), or Alanis Mansit (yet another, sort of like Alanis Morisette, and she’s pretty white) or “Tan Slim Asian” (well, that anagram isn’t very white at all) or even “eL SIMIAN SATAN!” (the devil monkey!, it’s an anagram if you drop the “e”). Of course, you could also go with “Tin Animal Ass” (slightly more amusing anagram, but less cool). Geeze, I’m surprised that so many anagrams are possible once you start playing with the letters. “A tail-man’s sin”? (Heh, that anagram is sort of a euphemism, now isn’t it. Could be white) or “In Masta Slain” (seriously, that anagram is totally a white rapper name… ok, maybe I lost my mojo there. I think I’ll stop.)
Thanks for the inspiration Shaun! This is way better than doing actual “work” at work.
Personally, my favorite is the devil monkey, but that’s just because I thought of it… well, and because it’s DEVIL MONKEY!!
me so altima
the altimator
alteena marie
nissan ULTIMA (my fave)
The Altimator is pretty good.
and I’m strangely attracted to Alteena Marie.
THE BENCHWARMER
+1
excellent idea
WOW. That is REALLY REALLY good.
WHITE KNIGHT
Anything starting with “HMS”
Anagrams are fun, but make poor car names IMO.
While THE CHARIOT was a worthy automotive steed, BURT REYNOLDS will certainly overcome its past glory.
As far as names for your car, I gotta throw up
DAISY DUKE (anagrams to SAUDI DYKE, by the way)
AL-TIMA BORLIN (1/2 as manly as Burt, but 2x the flannel)
SON OF WHITEY (still carved into a table at H&H)
ALTER ALTIMA (Mild-mannered by day)
I gotta go, but I’ll try and think of more.
Box on Wheels
ha ha, despite this being pretty much right on, I was hoping for something more graceful.
Ding ding, kurt got it, I used to casually call the car Moby Dick. Because it is a big white whale.
Crackah
Turns out, there is a program for anagramming online.

I like “Snail Stamina”
I like Steel Justice or The Dictator, you could always fall back on THE ULTIMA. I will have more to come. The Nebulizer sounds pretty badass too. Or the DISTINGUISHER.
