Help me name my HHR!!!
So as I've said before, I purchased a gray 2011 HHR and I'm trying to come up with the right name.
What I have thus far...
Punisher
War Machine
Harley
Aries
Nothing seems to fit perfectly. I like War Machine a lot because the color reminds me of the extra Iron Man suit... however I'd want to have a matching license plate and I can't figure out how to display it nicely with 8 characters. lol
Any thoughts and ideas will be appreciated.

I've had names for many of my cars. I had a '66 Le Mans that I called the 'Thunder Bucket'. The dude that had owned it before had drilled a bunch of 3/8th inch holes in the Y pipe. I suppose he thought it sounded cool or something it just bothered me so I eventually replaced it with a new one.
We all call our '96 LHS 'The Boat' because its a bit like driving an aircraft carrier.
I called my '69 Mustang 'The Pregnant Roller Skate'. It had a 428 Super Cobra Jet with the functional shaker hood.
Everyone called my '66 notch back Mustang 'The Wagon'. Not real sure why, it wasn't even red so no mistaking it for a lil'red wagon.
I called my '59 Fairlane 'The Limo' because where it wasn't rusted it was a very nice gloss black, even with the cancer it would polish up nice.
Everyone called my '65 Fairlane 'The Race Car' because the previous owner had put some red stripes on it. Later I took some paper lace and sprayed silver over the red on the strips trying to hide the fact that the cheap spray bomb was cracking in the sun.
We called the '04 Neon 'The Zonker' because it was 'screamin' yellow zonker' color. I think Dodge called it chromium yellow or some such nonsense.
I call my '74 MGB 'The B' most of the time and just leave the MG part out of it. One day I want to paint it the same color the '04 Neon was and put three black bands at an angle on the back end so it will look more like a bee. Its dull sunfaded blue now but originally was sports car red.
My wife and kid don't have very imaginative names for the cars. They call the '05 Neon the silver car. Just because its silver I guess. They call the HHR the orange car because its star burst orange.
Some friends of ours know a gay couple who call their HHR the Homo Hot Rod. I said with the payments and our very limited budget ours might become the Homeless Hot Rod soon.

I've dubbed mine "Chubbs"
Naming a vehicle is one thing, having the name come to you in a bright sensless hypnotic visual fashion of pigs dancing around in purple polka dotted skirts with hula hoops around their waiste, while pink elephants tap dance to scary music.....well, that just means you've watched Dumbo with your kids to much.
