I would "Google it first"

Why? I trust her ... she's one of my best friends .... it's not like she would tell me to name my car "p0rn star" to be funny.

...thanks for temporarily making me question my friend

I like the "little blue" though ... I think it's cute

Is there a translation difference with that? Maybe I'm just not understanding lol

Just in case! it's not about your friend, I'm sure you trust her, some times you would be amazed on what's out there.

Completely understood .... kinda like those kids who trust the tattoo shop when they say that Chinese character really means "Hope and Love" just to find out it means "I like it in the pooper"

when i first bought it,i thought about it for very long time how should i name it.
there was a children's tv show in Israel a long time ago.there was a cute and curious turtle puppet called "batz" in hebrew ("tzav" in hebrew means "turtle" and some letters are flipped).since my yaris reminded me of a big and lovely metal turtle,i decided to call him "batzi" (which means "my lovely turtle").the name has "stuck" to my car so much that even my girlfriend and my mother call my yaris like that..

as for "something" inside the car,there was another children tv show called "babar the elephant".there was a rhino charachter called "rataxes",so i put a grey rhino puppet on the back shelf
whenever i hit the road i see people staring at my car and smiling when they see the puppet

Just don't let your turtle get flipped on its back!

My wife usually has a small "Walter The Farting Dog" on the back shelf of hers.

slothman86-the yaris IS a turtle car

suckerface · 04-27-2010, 03:04 PM

If I'm not mistaken, Walter the Farting Dog is from a kids book about....well...farting. I know my sister was looking all over for it when she had her first kid.

The Walter books are all classics! There's even one in Latin, if you're so inclined.

STC · 04-27-2010, 03:47 PM

Good car nickname's folks!

I love it... "a turtle car"

So, true...

Don't have a name for mine yet? I remember the Dr. Seuss children book, "Yertle the Turtle". Yertle was blue too!

Maybe, "The Blue Yertle"? LOL! I don't think the Yaris will turn out to be "King of the Mud", though!
