I think it is fitting for an Orange car.

I've only named cars that meant something to me. I've owned a lot of cars (around 10), and only named 2 of them.

Jewel went without a name for about a month. Then the name just took off with my friends and family. Now when people talk about my Camaro they always say Jewel, they don't say the Camaro. Probably should have not named it, maybe I wouldn't have gotten so attached.

We only named one car and its our current winter beater. It's a somewhat rusty bright yellow 2002 Escape. When we registered it the new plate started with frd. My wife called it Fred and that's what we have called it ever since.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he did say that. lol No, just about how nitrous wears more on the engine than turbo or SC. Talking about how it's bad for the engine/metal to heat and cool with nitrous.

no, it's not any worse on the engine than turbo or SC. With nitrous, you are using it after 3-3.5k rpm, whereas with turbo and SC your put stress on the motor from the get go. Also, you don't use nitrous all the time, like turbo/SC. if anything, nitrous puts less strain on your car. As for the heating and cooling, this is the first time I have ever heard anyone mention it, because it's a stupid theory. lol Professional drag racers use nitrous. Nitrous just cools the air intake.
