OK, so some of you know I recently purchased Osterkraut's half finished Miata powered by a Mercedes turbo diesel.

I intend to Challenge it, and perhaps take it to the BABE.

It was previously known as the "Diata", but somehow, it seems to need a new name.

Any thoughts?

Perhaps a play on the macho vs feminine thing, diesels, smoking, German/ Japanese, or the just plain mutant aspects of the crazy thing.

Try to keep it a little on the clean side- my builds are always with kids, and need to be family friendly (I think we'll steer clear of anything like "Cutie from Hell", or "The Flaming Tampon").

Fire at will....

Axis of Diesel. You could paint it up something like this:

Then you get the Japanese/German thing, the fuel, a fashion accessory (Miata), and a clever pun.

Lot Lizard? Something not exactly attractive, definitely a smoker, and feminine. In case you don't know that's the slang term for a prostitute that hangs out around truck stops.

Irene?

Damn you! That was my idea!

I'm pleased this thing is now in the possession of someone who may or may not finish it. As opposed to myself, who just wouldn't finish it.

try plugging in various combinations of mazda, miata, mercedes, turbo, and diesel into an anagram generator something inappropriate and entirely unnatural will be the result...
