I wont vote because I dislike all of them.

JAM sounds like a place to go get your lowrider chromed out and your phat beatz installed.

if you call it twisted air, people will drop the "air" and just call it twisted. there is already one twisted in town, and they are a bunch of homos.

quick precision just sounds bad. i dont even know what to say about that one.

Agreed. I'm not voting because of the same reasons. Something that sounds professional but in a performance way would make it more appealing. I can't think of anything right now, otherwise, i'd try to help.

i agree, i dont like them, i think there were better choices that were not being used.

A//// Guy · 10-22-2003

I like Quick Precision the best, sounds kinda cool and profesional.

It's all in how you look at it.

If you didn't know what Elite does, you would think the same thing when you hear "Elite Autosport"

Anything around here with "Elite" in the name deals with low riders, ground effects, stereos or chassis lighting :uh:

Matt D. · 10-22-2003

n. elite - The best or most skilled members of a group

Pretty much sums it up... Elite Autosport

As I stated before, my vote is for what I thought of... Explicit <whatever>

adj. explicit - 1. Forthright and unreserved in expression, 2. Fully and clearly expressed; leaving nothing implied.

Something simple as naming a business can't be held to just thinking of words and assuming their meaning and verbal value... The definition of words and the context in which they're used is where the true colors will be found.

That was why the pole was put out. This is one of those things that are going to get some strong opinions in specific directions. What it boils down to is that we need a name that most people like that is professional sounding, simple enough to remember, not taken and reflects somewhat what we want to do as a business. I think Quick Precision encompasses most of that well. I like a lot of the other names that had been brought up, some better, but they had been used or were close enough to ones that were already taken that it would be a problem. Of the people who don't want to vote because of the current selection, give a reason why you don't like them and give an alternative if you have one. I still havn't heard the one that just instantly makes you think "thats it"

**1ViciousGSX** · 10-22-2003

I still like POWER HOUSE PERFORMANCE = PHP

I think it goes with the potential and knowledge of the people that are putting it together.

"Hey man, take it over to the "Power House", they will hook you up."

"Welcome to the Power House, what can we do for you today?"

10-22-2003

:idea: thought about it for a while and came up with a bunch of names. these were my favorites.

Advanced Autosport
Speed Solutions
Rightaway Racing
The St.Paul Speedshop

what do you think?

Raptor · 10-22-2003

Power house isn't bad. There are alot of them I like including some of them on your list Blake, a lot of those we just can't get away with. The business will be incorporated so the naming needs to be unique across the country. The ones that most people come up with are already taken in one variation or another. I do have to say I like Explicit as well. The final decision will be tomorrow night at 10 because we need to get the ball rolling on a lot of things that require the name.

Any other imput on Explicit? Anyone else like it?

**1ViciousGSX** · 10-22-2003

I like POWER HOUSE because that's what modding is about. Wether it's making more power at the engine, putting more power to the ground through driveline/suspension mods, or making the chassis safer or stiffer. That is what you guys will be doing, right?

Raptor · 10-22-2003

It doesn't sound bad, but for some stupid reason it makes me think of Robert Palmer and "simply irresistable" I don't think I will ever be able to shake that so it isn't quite the ticket. Not bad, just not quite. Just coming up with a name is somewhat frustrating. There are so many good ideas, and of course the ones that would suit it best are in use by someone else. One of those really original not obvious names might just be the way to go. We shall figure this out. Either way, the bathroom is for sure going to be known as twisted air!

2003eclipse · 10-22-2003

i have to agree with matt. the name of this shop has nothing to do with me. but i do not like the name, reasons

1. none of these names make you 3 sound like the best.
2. none of them are catchy.
3. twisted reminds me of twisted concepts and thats just not a cool thing.
after the night at uni when ryan hable with the evo wanted to pull into the checker parking lot and the twisted concept guys ran and made a human wall so ryan could not pull in yelling no room for your peice of shit. and there was only about 6 twisted members there and the rest of the lot was empty.

one positive to jam is the slogan

"toast it with JAM".
i would like to state i own the rights to that jingle. just kidding.

lateral g
mandatory g's
mandatory x
street styles

(g as in g-force)

sorry im just hooked on this whole name thing, and you three should pick out the name kind of on your own it is your investment remeber.

10-22-2003

i like The St.Paul Speedshop catch, original, to the point. doesnt exlude anyone and people will remember it.

2003eclipse · 10-22-2003

best of luck, when is this shop going to open?

**v8klla** · 10-22-2003

I still think innovative would be an awesome adjective to use...

Innovative Autotrends
Innovative Automotive Technologies
Innovative Automotive Concepts
Innovative Motorsports
Automotive Innovations
Innovative Drive & Design

Innovative shows creativity, leadership, and along with automotive or motorsports shows what you are working with...

Just my .02, but I have yet to vote as well...

A//// Guy · 10-22-2003

If they were posted before why are you posting again?? They already went through them.

**v8klla** · 10-22-2003

Two of those were listed before, four were not...They also got a lot of interest in the other post. Just bringing it back up since people are yet again throwing out ideas. Why do you care?
