Have you named your TSX?

Ok I noticed someone posted somthing about naming their tsx and im sad to say that yes I have in fact named mine "Silver Bullet II" The original Silver bullet was my grey '94 saturn . I have to say the saturn wasnt all the fast but it was reliable and got me where I needed to go! What have you named your TSX?

oh and on a side note, are you supposed to downshift on the sportshift mode or just let it downshift on its own?

No, I think I went over this on Dealer thread...

My father was in the market for a new car and we started looking at a TSX. Long story short, the dealer was a bitch, and my father settled on a QX4.

As for me, I am in the process of applying to various medical schools and waiting for the outcome to buy or lease a car. I wouldn't want to take a car to NYC being a student and all. I would get one if I stayed in Denver or got into other schools with ample living opportunities.

The TSX is on the top three of my 'buy' list, the others being a G35x and next gen Legacy (funny, the TSX is the only non-AWD, never thought of that). My lease list is Volvo VC70, G35x, and IS300. TSX doesn't make the lease list since they haven't told me about any special lease offers.

As for naming cars, I leave that up to girlfriends/friends. I'm too biased in my fave names. Wilbur, Joey and Lisa were named by girlfriends, while Big Boy and Boat were from others.

Junkster, who thought everyone knew of my TSX-lessness.

I guess I missed that thread Junkster.

domn, who calls his TSX "The Acura", who thinks Junkster should get a G35x when the time comes and who's using Junkster's patented post ending sentence for the last time.

Hmmm... the G35x is quite tempting for me.

Junkster, who thinks domn should give the '3rd person' thing for a few weeks to see what it's like... kinda like a test drive or a lease.

A coworker overheard (eavesdropped) part of a conversation and made a slight mistake. "Hey, your wife's name isn't Tia" thinking I was talking about having sex with some girl named Tia, when in fact, I was talking about the TSX....needless to say, the name stuck...and that's the story I'm sticking with.

ok I wonder...when you guys name the car, was there a reason or the name just sounds good?

In my case I name mine "Claire" because "she" looks sleek and cold as my favourite actress: Claire Danes~

Easy to set up and fly, very fast and maneuverable.

I suppose you got me on the Vin number thing, assuming you do have a lower number, however, I'm from Milwaukee AKA the Beer capitol of the world. Oh and Coors suck. The only good thing they have going for them is the Coors Girls.

Widmer Heferweizen (or whatever it is) and Black Butte Porter for some nice Oregon homegrown beers.

Although typically I like mixed drinks better...my favorite being an A.M.F.

this is corny, but for the owners who got the navi, shouldn't u name ur car 2 names cause the car has a female and a male voice? wouldn't it be funny if the future navi versions add more vocab to them and when u first start your car the car talks and asks, "how was your day"? or "goodbye".
