Tried to get all the variations of Hot Lava I could think of for my plate but all were taken. Since there are not that many in Ontario I have to presume that the contractions I could come up with mean something else as well!

OH WAIT .... LAVA 86! Have to try that one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always call my car: "My little Scion"

My Fiat was: "My little Fiat"

My Saturn SC2 was: "My piece of sh!t Saturn"

I actually came from the SC2 to the FRS, and honestly, as limiting as the SC2 was to an enthusiast, that thing was as reliable as any car i've seen.

Wife had a Saturn a few years back. Don't remember what model but was brand new. She got 3 blocks from the dealer and the tranny blew apart! Called me in hysterics that the car would not move and there was BLOOD coming from under it.

Seriously!

My SC2 was given to me at 200k miles by my Uncle. It was stolen and recovered. That poor little thing burned oil like mad, but ran like a top to 260k miles, at which point the throttle cable snapped and I gave the car to a towing company to get it off the freeway. Great car. I HATED it.

I love the name of my color, but I don't use it because I feel like no one will understand what I'm talking about. I always have to pause a half a second when someone asks what color is the car (general service people). I want to say hot lava, but I just always say orange to save on the confusion.
