I am in a bit of a stump.

I absolutely love Duchess from the Aristocats...however, I am very into Tinkerbell too. And there is SOOO much more I can do with Tinkerbell than Duchess.

Everything has to be custom made to do Duchess. And she is a bit more refind than I am where Tink is more feisty and roudy like me.

I don't know what to do. I haven't painted or anything yet. I do have some accessories, but they can be easily changed.

What do y'all think? What would you do?

Whatever is going to make you happy :D

That's the problem. I really like them both.

I am just thinking Tink might be cheaper in the long run.

I dunnoooooo......argh! LOL

I vote for Tinkerbell.I always loved Peter Pan and thought when I was young that the concept of never growing up was great.Now I wish I could just turn the clock back 20 years or so.I was fine until I hit 51,then parts of me quit working.:lol:

Like a boat, once named, it will be bad luck to change it for any reason!

Yeow! Good point!

But wait....she isn't "marked" with the custom plates yet...does it still count as official if she doesn't have anything "name like" painted on her yet?

Change it!

If you go with Tinkerbell, that would mean that we will have 2 of them on this Fourm then.
The first is Jimznca.

His Tinkerbell is different than my Disney version. It is more....almost sinister looking...more grown up.;)

My 2 cents - I had no idea who Duchess was until you told me but I sure do know who Tinkerbell is!!!

Just go with Duchess Tinkerbell.

TinkerDutch!
DutchBell!

Whatever you like. It's your HHR! (I'm rather partial to Taco Bell, but I think that's already taken :lol: )

LOL

When I hear Taco Bell...I picture a red or blue car from some reason....not white. LOL...but then again....Tinkerbell seems more of a golden teal color.

Sindy...lol....love the TinkerDutch! LOL

I will know by tomorrow for sure.

First, didn't realize you'd named yours after the Disney Duchess, but then again I'm not too familiar with the Aristocats, anyway. (Good to know there's another Disney-named HHR here! :thumb:)

Second, I'd keep it named Duchess. I'll tell you why, it's because of my own past naming cars after obscure Disney properties. My '79 Cadillac (which I miss sometimes) was named "Now and Forever." Most non-Disney savvy folks thought I was a fan of the musical "Cats" because I gave it that name, but it was in actuality a tribute to Disney's "Gargoyles" TV show. I had to custom-make a lot of stuff for that car as well, many of which were fairly inexpensive (decals, for one: I designed a name decal for the car to go across the rear window with the show's central couple, Goliath and Elisa, at the center. I also had the same place make me up a custom plate in the typeface of the show's title). The most expensive add on I got I never installed, and in fact lost: I paid $300 to an airbrush artist to put a custom picture on a large piece of purple crushed velvet, which I was going to use as a headliner to replace to old crappy one and give the car kind of a Sistine Chapel effect. Still have no idea where the hell it is.

I digress. Kepp Duchess the name, because it'll give you an excuse to get creative! :thumb:

Thank you all for your great input! Wow!

I decided to go ahead and change it...I already have some great ideas that will be fun to do....

When I get my ghost flames, I am going to make one flame on the side slightly longer and have sparkles/stars coming out (like pixie dust) with Tink flying at the end of it...like she is flying out of the fire!
