      need help with a project name :/ 67 GTO (sad story warning)

      I'm going to start my project thread soon but i need help with a name. A quick (not so happy) backstory:

      I Got my first 67 GTO as a STEP father/son project for a way to have bonding time when i was 12. At 16 we realized it was just too much work and sold it to buy an already running, driving 67 GTO so i could start driving a project. Fast forwarding to when i was about 20 my parents got divorced and me and my "dad" still talked, but not a whole lot. My father decided that either i wasn't a good enough son, didnt want me in his life anymore, or something; yet also around the same time i wrecked my GTO into a tree. That was about the last time I talked to him because when i was depressed over wrecking my car, i joked that he should buy the GTO from me. He basically said that its not worth anything now, its not fixable, its scrap metal, and that i wasted a good car. Now i'm about 24, and as of today i have basically fixed the wrecked part of the car and can start focusing on the restoration/ modification.



      I have wanted a project name to state the fact that i'm "overcoming" my depression of wrecking the car, or "getting back at" the whole father situation. I thought about "VENGEANCE GTO" but, MR. Vengeance aka. Mr. Totem already has that name taken. I sure wouldn't want to try to take the familiarity of that name away from him since i'm pretty sure he could beat me up! lol

      So if anyone has an idea on a name it would be helpful.

      I feel you're exchanging the negitive feelings (and wrecked car) for something more positive (and a restored car).....a fair exchange.
      I think an apt name in these circumstances would be -

      Reciprocity

      Or, for a name signifying renewal, try the latin word -

      Renovatio

      BTW your "Dad" was so wrong about that car being done.

      Sorry to hear the story but good for you to not let it get the best of ya. Attitude = altitude. The car definitely looks fixable from the pics.

      Reciprocity seems kind of cool. that's basically what i was looking for, a single noun.

      Sucks to hear about your "dad" and your GTO I have a few ideas for a name some better than others.
      It's red, so how bout Bad Blood?
      Revamped?
      Kind of cheesy but, Avenged 67fold?
      Nemesis?
      Vendetta?
