to name or not to name?
 

Hey guys, I'm struggling with the idea of "naming" my car. I thought I would throw it out there and get some feedback. I was just going to do it and not say anything, but I just don't know if it's something I want or not. The name that I am thinking is "TECH-9". I came up with this from the people involved in the car. Katech,Speartech,Azentek,Jimtech and there's probably a couple other "techs" that will pop up before it's finished. The 9 should be pretty obvious to all of you (I hope). I ran it by Trush and he said go with it, So now I really don't know what to do. :lol: Anyway, give me some thoughts, good, bad, stupid, corny, whatever. I was thinking of having it stitched in the seatbacks and there waiting on the go ahead from me. Also a custom billet emblem for the tail panel and that's about it. Thanks for any help. :thumbsup:

I've never been one to name a car, BUT, if a car is going to get a lot of Media coverage and sponsors, then I think it's a good idea. It's a marketing thing. I've tossed it around and I wanted something that would tie into Lateral-g, my name, etc, and came up with g69. I registered the domain name g69Camaro.com. :shrug:

As for Tech 9.... Ever heard of Tech 9, the band? They sing Slacker. Great song. :D Check it out.

I've never been one to name my cars either, but the whole media thing is definately part of the reason for doing it. I think the mags like that kind of stuff. My future of buying/selling/building cars like this could always benefit from some magazine coverage. This is still first a hobby to me and I hope people don't think I'm just in it for the money because this hobby is truely a sick passion in my life. But you need to make money to do this stuff, and I really enjoy the buying and selling part of it. If I can make a little more from some media coverage then I can spend more on the next project. That's what keeps us all working isn't it? Oh yeah, I've heard of the band Tech-9 and also the macine gun "TEK9". Thought that was kind of cool actually. Thanks for the feedback Scott.

I was thinkin of naming mine "SKIDMARK"



:D

go for it...

Just keep in mind that Tec-9's were the guns that got their notoriety by being used by gang bangers... Obviously no relation to your car but just FYI!

What's wrong wit dat yo! :lol:

^ was thinking the same thing..

i think naming a car has the same effect as naming a ship.. i think its pretty personal between the captain and ship. so why not car and driver?

besides.. anyone can have a "camaro" or whatever but with the time, love and modifications put into "your" ride then it doesnt qualify as the next guys "camaro" anymore.. in which a name is suitable.

and my cars name was derived from the spiderman character.. the two have similar qualities..

I would have to agree with others, that if the car is going to get some PR a name is a good idea. Shows like Rides and Overhaulin have really brought cars to the general public and with that the PR. In that case a name is cool, but if your calling your beat up 75 nova by a name people my look at you funny.

I personally never named my car because for me, it would be a little over the top. It already has a name... Chevelle. :D
