This car needs a name.
This car needs a name.
Submitted by sundaykofax on Sun, 12/31/2006 - 12:08. What's That Jeaun?
Wadsbone and I bought a Scion xA, and we're having trouble coming up for a name. Not having a name is not an option. Here are the ideas we've had so far:
1. 1/2 Ton Mouse
2. Titus Andronicus (aka Ass and Tittus)
3. Professor Nubbins
4. The Abstract Concept of Hubris
Obviously, we could use some help. What we're looking for is something we can add -mobile to and have it still sound cool.

the impudence!

Say it's a 12 oz. Mouse reference.....
...because I salute those.
I also like:
"Carface"
"Jesus Carst"
"Megatron"
"Chester Gay Arthur Sultzberger Jr."

It is a 12 oz. mouse
It is a 12 oz. mouse reference. I'm also considering "Night Moves" (season 1, episode 2). That name comes with its own Bob Seger theme song.

double that
As it turns out, the XA is more of a one-ton mouse than a half-ton mouse.
I think we're going to end up calling it a couple of things, most of them including the word 'mouse'.
A few years ago, Joe Mohan and I separately came up with Modest Mouse on Mars Volta, and I secretly think that in my head when I think about the car. The problem is, Wads doesn't like the idea of using something that is a band name or someone's cat (Professor Nubbins).

actual weight
2340 Curb Weight MT
2380 Curb Weight AT
thought I don't know what the difference between the MT and AT weights.

I assume MT is manual
I assume MT is manual transmission and AT is automatic. This one's a manual, so I guess it's a little bit lighter.

Incorrect, sorry.
Don't mean to be a stickler but:
MT, according to the training program at the American Automotive Regulatory Bureau, means:
"MT is a designation given to automobiles with pre-cycled transmission / carburetor torque ratio.
