Since I am a Methodist Pastor, I simply call mine the "Methodist Car".
The symbol for the United Methodist Church is the Cross and the Flame. I don't see how Crossfire could much closer. It was sort of already named for me.

We had been calling it scooter. Then I found out someone else here called their Graphite SRT6 the same thing, so I felt I should relinquish the name.

Don't let them get you down! I think everyone that loves their car as much as we do gives them names. Mine's name is Elloise...

This is the reason you should attend Crossfire events. The name of my car is in direct relations to the outstanding time we had at the Dragon this Spring. Guys get together, make some friends and drive the hell out of your cars. You'll enjoy it I guarantee it.

You will have to change it to Oliver Winchester... or more appropriately Benjamin Tyler Henry. The Henry rifle was the direct predecessor of the Winchester lever action rifle when Henry was working for Oliver Winchester and the New Haven Arms Company.....

I have a replica Henry in 45 long colt that is tons of fun to shoot.....

I think I like just plain Winchester better. You calling your car "Ruth" and "he/him" is kind of weird

I too, have a Henry rifle,("Load on Sunday, shoot all week long")model Colt 45. I bought it used, and it had a severe jamming problem while ejecting shells. I emailed Henry in Buffalo, they told me to send rifle to them, they would repair-free of charge. I got my rifle back in less than a week, inner workings of my gun were completly re-done, no more jamming and fires great. Love that great AMERICAN company.( Love my Crossfire also .)
