Cloud or Silver Cloud. I like Smoke as well, but it denotes a darker color.

While I don't name my cars - it makes for good reading in a book. My suggestions :

Billett

Reaper's Blade

It was a dark and stormy night as Richards slid Reaper's Blade into the heart of the city wondering what to make of the recent turn of events....and when he would get some sleep.... WAIT A MINUTE! He would never drive this car on a dark and stormy night WTF?

Good Luck with the name and the book!

The making of a good writer. Oh yes he would drive it on a stormy night and Q would complain and set his crew on detailing it after every mission.

So, it's silver. Play around with the letters and . . .

LIVERS

Ack! That doesn't sound appealing does it. Let's give it a personality . . .

LIVERACHI

Nah, it's too long. Must make it shorter . . .

VERACHI

Nope. Too foreign. Let's spin it to something modern and sporty . . .

V-RACH

However, you don't want Oriental readers of your book have difficulty with the letter "R" . . . China after all is learning English now . . . so . . .

V-ACH

There. But dang, people might pronouce it as Vach. Must simplify . . .

VEEACH

Looks like an ocean's coast to me. Let's enuncIate it with the letter Y . . .

VEEYACH

Finally! To borrow from rdiw . . .

"It was a dark and stormy night as Richards slid his VEEYACH into the heart of the city wondering . . ."

Nah just call it BEYOTCH!


"Richard rode his Beyotch all night long and his Beyotch shook him all night long!"
