If you must name your car, I wouldn't tangle with the historical implications of the name Black Panther(s). Google it...

How about Black Cat?

That gets rid of the historical/political implications, but keeps the general idea.

Steve Thanks for your input i think i am narrowing it down to these names tell me what you all think!
1. “Abyss” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abyss_%28religion%29)is a bottomless depth.
A bottomless or unfathomed (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/unfathomed) depth, gulf, or chasm (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/chasm); hence, any deep, immeasurable (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/immeasurable), and, specifically, hell (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hell), or the bottomless pit! So True!!
2.“Eclipse” An astronomical alignment in which a planetary (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/planetary) object (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/object) (for example, the Moon) comes between the sun (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sun) and another planetary object (for example, the Earth), resulting in a shadow (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/shadow) being cast by the middle object onto the other object.
3.“Panthera” From Ancient Greek (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Greek) (panthēr) "panther"
4. "Dark Matter" (astronomy) particles of matter that cannot be detected (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/detected) by their radiation (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/radiation) but whose presence is inferred (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/inferred) from gravitational (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gravitational) effects
5. "ONYX"
6. "Black Velvet"

Do you know how to use the poll feature? You can make it to where people vote and it will show percentages. Let us know if you can't figure it out. Just go to the thread tools bar at the top and choose "poll". Make sure you have a vote for "other" just so if somebody comes up with another good name, then they may vote for other.

What happened to naming our cars girl names? Mine always end up with stripper names cus I like to ride them hard and keep them doped up lol Seriously though I think too many guys are trying to come up with cool or hardcore names. If there is not some reason behind the name it is kinda pointless to name it.

FYI "Panther" is the platform and thus nickname all the CrownVic and clones use. Darksiders is the nickname for the classic full size Pontiac owners (no idea why). Although any name probably has some other connotation in different circles. Maybe just call it Bob.

How about something that says a lot about your car !

RBC Camaro

Red Black and Chrome, at least that is what I see when I look at the pics. Plenty of Red Black and Chrome :)

Or BRC or CBR or RCB or BCR or or or or or or you get the point.lol

I know..

They are called darksiders because EVERYONE who wants a pontiac wants a GTO, TEMPEST, LEMANS or FIREBIRD... not a fullsize.

they say youre a darksider when you have chosen a fullsize..
a Grandprix, Catalina, Ventura, Starchief, Parrissiene..

and in my case a BONNEVILLE...

so youve chosen the "darkside"

03-07-2008, 08:13 AM

NO NAME AT ALL! Just build it. Why is everyone so preoccupied trying to find a name? I don't get it. It doesn't make your car any more or less cool. I understand you want to set a goal and go for it, but a name is only a name. Just build a bad ass car and there is your name. PROJECT BADASS.

These name threads take up way too much space and time on this forum. It is pretty annoying actually.

2Bad4Ya

04-08-2008, 05:58 AM

I think ya should call her "Shadow", its clearly a black car so no need to put the word black in the name is it?

i wasn't suggesting a name, i was just saying that it will name itself in the end. why even have a name. look at all the posts and time people take to come up with a name. it is just as bad as everyone saying "just my two cents" or "my .02" what the hell is with cliches? they are stupid and pointless.

why not say just my hundred dollars? doesn't anyone think what they say is worth more than 2cents?

anyway, save your energy...forget the name, it will take care of itself.
