    What do you call your E30?

    Some call the E30 God's Chariot - doesn't fit well on a license plate...
    My E9 is the GR8 WHT
    Thoughts?

    That's an odd plate for an e9 because the e24s look more like sharks. E9s do have a bit of a shark nose... for me, the iconic e9s are batmobiles.

    Being that I have several e30s... I just call them by their color.

      I have renamed mine several times. 90 325i, salvaged title, dented brilliant rot body, cracked front and rear bumpers. just 116k on the clock with a fresh suspension and engine and a nice interior. I enjoy driving this car on the roads up to Big Bear and Idyllwild and look forward an AX and track day as soon as I finish my carpet install this September.

      Olaf at first then a bunch off other names but I keep thinking a tittle suits it best. When i get around to doing a thread in the project forum its going to be called.

      The unwanted ginger.

            Stinky - Apparently it had a fake cat when I bought it, so the exhaust kind of stunk.

                My cars only get names when the work on them gets annoying, and the next day that name is forgotten when it does car things again.

                  For the 20 or so years I've owned my Cosmos Blau M635, I've called it "Cosmo"

                  In college, I had a friend in college who got an MR2 Turbo when they first came out, and when he got on the gas he used to cackle and say "It SCOOTS!" in his hard eastern-NC accent and it always made me laugh. And somehow, when I first drove my S52-swapped E30 after I picked it up from Mike and booted it, it made me cackle the same way. I told my son (who flew with to CA to get the car and drive home) the MR2 story, and he said "Well, then it must be 'Scooter.' "

                  So it's Scooter.

                    It switches between "pos" and "the 30/ 30"

                        Have always called my Silver one "Rusty" from the condition of the trunk pocket when I bought it, not sure if I coined the term or my wife.
                        It's awkward because it sounds like I named it after another famous car, so I try not to mention the name on the internet or to car guys in general.

                        My 4dr shitbox shell is just "the 4-door" or "Shitbox" depending on who I'm talking to.
