What's in a name?

I've been sick. Sorry.

Anyway, I was driving home the other day when it occurred to me that my car did not have a name. Cars don't need names, of course, any more than people do. But they like to have a name. And the better the name, the better the car likes it. This particular car I didn't think was going to make it, what with the water pump giving out the first week and then a mysterious transmission problem that disappeared. But now I figure it's been running pretty smoothly for a while. It's earned a name.

So I had the kids in the car and I told them they could name the car. Each kid could give the car half of it's name. Without even thinking about it my son shouted, "Dangerous Ninja!" How very masculine. I asked my daughter and she also wanted a cool boy name, since the car is mine, so she came up with Speed Crash.

There it is folks. My car is hence named Dangerous Ninja Speed Crash!

Ninja Speed for short.

Here is a picture of the aptly named Ninja Speed:



When you think of the GMC Jimmy, you think of the agility and speed of the Ninja.

Colored red so it can easily blend into the shadows...
of a red world.


NINJA SPEED!!!!!!!!!!!

That is awesome! I've always named my vehicles. I had a chev blazer similar to your jimmy, named Wade. Not the greatest vehicle name now that I sit here and read it. I'm ashamed.
