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.

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! 
)
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!

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!
