I still haven't officially named my Boss yet, but I was thinking Bruce as well. What else would you name The Boss?

My wife banned me from naming cars years ago. She had a black Mach 1 and I had a Foxbody street/strip car that was more strip than street. We raced once and I gapped her by a fairly large margin. I then named my car Ike and her car Tina.....I have been forbidden to name cars since. My family and friends named the Boss. However, I did have a yellow FJ Cruiser once that my daughter named Sunny. Its kind of corny, but I always liked that name for yellow vehicles.

My CO has always been known just as "The Boss", and he's a male car....a Him, not a her...the "her" sleeps with me at night...........................all tho, she can be a boss on her own at tymes......

I never tied the two together until you brought the connection to light......I was wondering where "Bruce" came from.....DAH is me, LOL............

Tramps like us, Baby we were born to run...

Or you could name it after the old girlfriend you had when you had your '69 Boss version but make sure your wife has a really good sense of humor!

Of course if you just named the car Springsteen the non automotive leaning folks would understand he is the Boss. Sounds better than the Musical Mustang ,ha.

Yeh, just stick with " Bruce !"

You weren't thinking of Monty Python, were you?

Wheels and tires mounted up. Super happy with how it came out. Used a 25mm spacer and ended up with plenty of room. Might try a 20 and see if I can pull the front tire a little more inside the fender well. Two weeks until my next Autocross. Will be going to CCR's event on Saturday and Triad event on Sunday. Cant wait!
