Nicknames for cars. My car is called Betsy :x ffs!

Abbreviations - Zed, Vette, Stang etc, just makes me cringe!
Just so you know.

Our Mx5 is called Ruby
Our Z4MR is called wizzy car
Our Mazda 2 is called Baby Blue.

Oh and wtf is a Stang. :lol:
 
"Pulling the trigger"

You're buying a gear knob / spoiler / car, not taking out a world leader or making a pre-emptive nuclear strike FFS! :rcard:

On numerous occasions I’ve heard a Mustang referred to as a Stang.

‘Coupe for added stiffness’ and they drive like an old lady

Well I'd hate to disappoint you! :P

But how does an old lady drive anyway?
 
As a Canadian, calling them a 'Zee 4' hits me like fingernails on a blackboard. Yes, OK - if you are an American and want to talk about your Z28 Camaro (but why??) then pronounce it the way you like, but in much of the world, they are Zed 4s.
 
One careful owner.....and 5 that didn’t give a toss
Folder full of receipts.....it’s needed so much work done to it cos it’s crap heap
Never been on a track......but I’ve ranted the bollocks off it on the road
 
Lady owner
Ok if you don’t mind the switches scratched from long false nails, dash scratched from the large bunch of keys, holes in floor mat from stiletto heals, make up all over the seats, and not forgetting every wheel curbed.
Although there are always exceptions to the rule (my better half for example)😁
 
Amazing example of this iconic rare car

Superb coachwork

One lady owner from new (Sooooooooooo much mileage in that topic but I’m far too chicken to start it.. :lol: )
 
Most recent services done by myself.......it hasn’t been serviced for years

I’ll be sorry to see her go........check your mirror as you drive away and see me putting the bunting up
 
'Compensating for something? :wink: '
'Bit early for a midlife crisis'
'Wow that must cost an arm and a leg' - Usually from people in crappy leased A classes that cost double a Z

Overall I just despise the fact that 'Sports cars' are basically ostracised nowadays. Apparently I should be driving a mini SUV or a pickup truck, and that the only reason people have sports cars is to show off / compensate for their giant dong. Maybe I actually like them? Is it actually hard to believe that I like cars as more than a means of A->B?

“One doctor owner form new” aaaaaaaaaaand...?? That makes a difference to anybody else why...? :roll:

Same with "lady owner". The way I see some "ladies" driving would certainly not inspire me to buy the car!

The question is I suppose, how should perfect non offending car advert read without any of these embellishments?
