Here's a question for you guys...

Can you think of a name for my Hornet?

My mom calls it the "Orange Bomb," and I have been calling it the Horn"E"Hornet  :rotfl:

Agent Orange. (Yes I know that was a horrible weapon, on all counts, this is more leaning towards the red hornet in the Bond movie, hence agent, then car color).

I've had a few names used for an orange car I had.

Agent Orange like Shaggimo said.

Orange Crush, my younger cousin called it that because it reminded her of the pop.

Project Orange is what I called it when I was working on it.

Some other decent one's I've heard are
Juice[d] for an orange drag Chevelle

No Pulp for a V6 orange Mustang, because it made under 200HP.

Clockwork Orange for a friend of mine's orange Porsche, based off two parts. One A Clockwork Orange is one of his favourite books, and two he said 'like clockwork' something always goes wrong with it.

My dad had a Cutlass that everyone called "the Orange Peel" although I have no idea why.. it wasn't even orange haha.. and it didn't refer to the orange peel effect on paint.

Vitamin C

Tangerine is pretty good.  Kinda Simple.

Hmm Vitamin C... I like that.  Could even twist it into "Vitamin XtC" lol

Careful though, I think Vitamin C was like a 90s chick band too! :)
