Names from Numbers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So in the long ago (like when you could smoke in restaurants<\/em> ago) past I’ve said certain things about people who name their cars. Maybe they had 7 vehicles as well and needed a way to keep them sorted!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only a few of my cars have found names, mostly the model number or name suffices in communicating to my spouse which one I’m talking about. But a couple have definitely had a name. I’m looking at you, Dieter, my 2006 330xi 6sp winter ‘beater’ (160k mi and climbing!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when I first found out the the P1800’s serial number was a five digit number, naturally a number to name converter seemed the logical next step. The “1” in the first position nixes using it as a letter, but a few results in the above list jumped out immediately. Now, after a couple dates, I’m ready to scratch “1tchy” off the list and go with “1uciy”. I mean she’s a timeless classic and a looker with red carpet <\/em>and all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
