• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Has anyone given their Spyder a "Name"???

I've named my new spyder "Magi" for 2 reasons: (1) the color of Pearl White is sort of Magical in its translucence and (2) She's MY GIft (a very special one) from my husband to me.

And like the story of "The Gift of the Magi", O'Henry's story of a newlywed couple who each sacrifice something valuable--this is what my husband did. He's put off something he wanted to get so that I could enjoy something today. And I'm humbled.

My husband is like that too. It is very humbling.

Fatal Attraction !!!

[TD="class: word"] Fatal Attraction[/TD]
[TD="class: tools"] : definition [/TD]

[TD="class: text, colspan: 2"]An attraction between an individual and something that is so strong, the individual lacks reason and logic in their thinking when dealing with their attraction. The subject is often someone/something that will have a negative impact on the individual or wallet. :roflblack:

Other people have a Fatal Attraction to my Spyder as well because they don't pay attention to the road while they are driving trying to rubberneck. :yikes:[/TD]

We need to change the name to....12-15-11 010.jpg
 
I've given mine the name "Serenity" on Fuelly. However, it doesn't seem to be sticking. It doesn't help the fact I've never really gotten into the habit of naming inanimate objects.
 
Hey Randy,

If you read this, I must say that every time I see your pin stripping I think what a great job. How much to install my dashboard kit once they are shipped. Just think, you can practice doing mine.


Next time you drive by my house on the way to your daughters, stop in and we will get it done.
 
The screen name is for our Chihuahua "Zorro" who got his name because Chi's originated in Mexico and he has a mask. So, since my wife insisted that when we get the Spyder that he was going to ride along the Spyders name is "Toronado" which is the name of "El Zorro's" horse.
 
As the saying goes, there be dragons here...

...and her name is Aragon. Now mind you, many might say I am in my second (or 3rd, 4th, etc.) childhood, but the first time I saw the RT from the front, I said it was a dragon transformer. For me, that converted to needing a dragon name long before adding the dragon graphics. Of course as many others might say, it might just be my silly female hormones at work!:dontknow:

Mine is the Libellule (LIBLUL on the plate)...Dragonfly....
French poem by Presvert playing on words " a reigner" (to reign) and "araignee" (spider):

Le pape is dead ( the pope is dead)
Un nouveau pape est appeler a reigner
(a new pope is called to reign)
Araignee? Araignee? Quel drole de nom, pourquoi pas libellule ou papillon?
(Spider? Spider? Why not dragonfly or butterfly?)

And this will now conclude today's French literature lesson!

Please don't take this the wrong way; but, I've wanted to ask this of others with, I guess what are called, vanity plates. I've seen some that I can figure out and others I cannot. When you came up with your plate, did you figure it would be a tough one or impossible one to figure out? I'm asking in regards to pronouncing the word and not that it is related to a French poem. Just curious.

Guess it has to do if you have your vanity plate for the others or for you... Even only a few of French speaking people will even understand!!!! (my Ural sidecar is named CAMOBAP.... Samovar in Russian so...). At least it helps with different 1st question from "how much" to "what does this mean"!!!!:hun:
PS: ...and I suffer from arachnophobia!!
 
My 08 RS is Angie of you seen her you would know why.:roflblack::D My 010 RTS is Blue Bell. Why Blue Bell you ask. Have you ever tried the ice cream:roflblack::thumbup::thumbup:
 
3TRACS

When I brought my Spyder home after buying it in Wisconsin, I drove it off the trailer during a heavy rain and the tires left three wet tire tracks in the garage... thus the name "3TRACS". :thumbup:
