It’s German you know…

Posted by Kris sometime around 11:11 pm

Ze\'Neon in CaliforniaI always refer to cars as female. I guess it’s an old sailors tradition. I’ve never given a car a name - I think that goes a little too far. But this has become the nickname of our rally car. It involves talk-ing like ze Germans. :p Sadly it’s not mein Porsche. But ve were going way too fast in ze’Neon.

I just started calling her that.
And then I needed to register the car and wanted a creative plate like ‘SiDeWAYZ’ or ‘WRC555.’
Andrew, my roomate at the time, gave me the idea by simply saying “How about ze’Neon?”
“Yes! Perfect! Daimler Chrysler! It’s German you know…” :lol:

  1. Das ist eine tolle idee. Ein bischen komisch, aber es ist schon gut. I guess what I am trying to say is…”haha”.

  3. ‘License Plate’ translates into ‘Nummernschild’ or number plate. Don’t the English say number plate? Anyway, ‘Ze Neon’ is a cool idea.
