Help me choose a name

Just got this on the road. Now to make it pretty and unique. I've been thinking of calling it SS for "simply stock", or BS for "bone stock", or one that fits the car as well as me "Grey Fox". What do Y'all think?

SS sounds too much like a Chevelle, Nova or Camaro. BS sounds like you hate it. I always end up making stupid names for mine. For instance Killer B cuz its yellow. Black Betty cuz its black.

I figure a car should earn its name, not be given one. The 1980 got named 'the beast' 'cause shes quite rough around the edges, the first sprint was called the 'ghetto cruiser' 'redneck ricer' then finally just 'sprunt' since it was decided that 'sprunt is an acceptable past tense to sprint and the car was finished lol. The new sprint has ben dubbed 'the silver bullet'. The 1982 has only been driven for 4 days since i've owned it so it is currently nameless but it wil come in time. Just listen to what people say about it and what kinda 'vibe' it gives off something will hit you eventually... thats just my thoughts:D

Well my car has been dubbed "The Sled"  mainley because its so  slow.  But I got 12k miles out of it before any major repair, and that only cost 250 bucks. 

That is a nice Cougar.  I'm betting over time a name will come to you, tbirdscott is right a name is earned.  I do however think it will include "silver" or "ghost" or both?

I've commonly referred to mine as Tank, since on several seperate occasions my passengers have said "This car is huge, it's like riding in a tank."

This poor old car has been abused by okies for almost 20 years. It's a miracle it even has four wheel covers, and you are disparaging the ones it has???      Just kidding

See if I have been doing my homework.

SN95 axles + Ranger drums + new 5 lug rotors + new tires = these. The reason I like these is that they are already mine.

In the meantime, how's this? Painted wheels. I may just leave the covers off and have my nuts chromed.

Those wheels in the first pic won't fit because the bolt spacing is differn't on a mn12 than it is on a fox. 

Second pic.  For gods sake put those wire wheel covers back on.  Your car has to look totally trashy without them.

*edit, you beat me by a second man!  The times are the same on our posts!*
