Boydie might be unto something, how about using "Fireball 4" on more than the engine?

Dusty is doing better tonight, he was one miserable little guy earlier today, and of course we went into "full blown new parent panic mode"....Wish these Mini-Humans came with an OBD port so we could just pull the codes.

Boydie,
Fireball 4 was going on the motor as an homage to the Fireball 8 that was on the 50's Buicks. It never occurred to me to name the car a Buick Fireball... But I kinda like that :)

I think he was throwing a B1518 Code...Malfunction, Input Audio L & R Channels.

The little dude and Michelle are zonked out right now, I'm too wired on the remnants of "Daddy's here little guy, everything'll be OK"....felt pretty helpless.

The stressier I get, the funnier I am...or something like that.

Back to the Buick project, even though Super Estate is leading in the poll, I know its not your first choice.

How about finishing up your build, but keeping the name to yourself until you unveil the finished product on the forum.

It could be a big "Ta Da!!" moment.

Your thoughts?

Yes you are funnier the stressier you get! Just don't add English teacher to your sideline gigs! lol

Waiting for the unveiling is not a bad thought...I just have been so stoked at where this project is going and the encouraging feedback from my people on this site, it's makes me want to get input from other HHR nuts

I agree with the other members who suggested completing the project, then coming up with a name. But I bet as this project progresses, something will "pop" that you like and use.

Me....I like NONE of the listed in the poll.

Hey Benji, How did the naming turn out. I think I missed it.
