Back in my circle track days we did name the engines so we could keep track of them.

5-7 engines going in and out of 3-4 car a any one time, yeah that was a bit...

My 84 GSL is Nikki. Yeah I stole it from the carb, but I like it. Kinda sounds like a strippers name. She's sexy and knows how to move. My sister usually names my other cars and since I had no love for my Slowfire I have since forgotten the name she gave it. Georgia seems right but I can't be sure. Just got a replacement for her, an 06 Mazdaspeed 6. Gonna have to drive her a bit and figure out her personality before giving her a name.

i don't name my cars, because people always name them after women. i don't want my car getting any ideas.

if anything it has a male name, as is on it's license plate. even on the worst of days it still gets the job done.

Your car just has one speed? Excellent possible name choice, by the way.

my '82 has been given several names by different individuals...
the girlfriend calls it "Little Car"
old co-worker called it "sexy Rexy"
other co-workers, friends, and brother (and sometimes me) call it plainly "THE Mazda"
I call it "The 82" or "Rei"

Mr. Wankel. It was kind of randomly chosen when my friend wanted to make the CF cutout for the air filter. It has since stuck and become the tag as well.

That makes 3 of us. At least my friends love calling it the money pit. I've heard 'the Rex' quite a bit but I always refer to the FC as the turbo and the FB as the 84.

Simon, you know that FB's came with an early version of a memory chip installed, right?

That sweet 12A of yours will remember every #$%#$%$%$##$#%$# you said and get you back later.

Hey Donnie, do you have any shots of Mr. Wankel with those chrome coated accoutrements hanging from the back bumper?
