Ye but this topic doesn't have a best-before date (unless we're approaching the era of totally uninspiring boring nicknames :p) so bumping this ain't as bad as bumping the TDU1 section with the news the Megapack has been announced xD
My name originates from a car (shockiiiiiingg). I drew a Merc on my 13th which I wanted to be just below the CL in terms of size and luxury, and above anything else in performance. Randomly mixing names gave me CLR-GTR as result, and I liked that so I kept it. In 2004 a second generation was drawn, in 2005 I made a third generation as non-Merc in 3ds max, in 2006 the fourth model, as Merc again, was made, in 2007 I made another non-Merc one in 3ds max ánd as 1/14 claymodel for some sort of ''graduating'' project on high school, and it never changed name. Also tried to make a sixth generation in 3ds max but 3ds had to corrupt the file leaving nothing but just one wheelset and the bodyshell left.
Based on CLK-GTR? Busted. Based on the backflipping CLR? Busted, I didn't even know of that car in 2003.
