Help me pick a name for my fake speed shop door logo

[doubleb's69]

I'm not being very creative today and have been going crazy trying to think up a good speed shop name to put on the door of my 69 GMC I just picked up. I lettered my last GMC with River City which wasn't very original to begin with but I live in Des Moines, Iowa where the Des Moines river runs through the middle of. Throw out any suggestions or just comment on the names I have so far.

1. Riverview speed ( I live near the very old and defunct site of Riverview amusement park)

2. Superior speed

3. White Knuckle speed

4. Bent 8 Performance

5. Staging Lane speed

I won't put my name in the title in case I sell it. The guy that bought my last one loved the logo on the door but didn't like my name being above the door handle so he removed it. Easier to remove 3 letters than a whole logo.

Capitol City

Polk County

Cob's Speed Shop ... Maybe a corn cob made up to look like a hot rod for a logo.

How about " Cross Roads Speed Shop"

Seeing as I80 and I35 cross at Des Moines

This is the one. Very creative and I wish I would have thought of it. I love the quote as well. I was going to put on the tailgate "In God we trust, all others pay cash!" Maybe I will do both. I have to order the colors I need to do this so it may be a while before it gets done. Everyone around here quit selling One Shot. I'm going to use Orange, White and some Black. The white will be the main letter color, the orange will be the drop shadow, and the black me be some outlining and just some striping.

I don't know why it needs to say "speed" at all. Little to on the nose.

Riverview amusement park
with a roller coaster running up one edge and down the center off to the opposite corner of the logo with a fun tag line across the bottom like;
"We'll give you the ride of your life"

Play on "ride", see a kid in the front of the coaster with a huge open tooth smile, tounge wagging, wrench in his hand

or

"As fast as your Cotton Candy can take you"
"Rollers are always more fun with us"

if it is lowered
"We've got the biggest drops"

if it is banged up
"run off the rails.."

and you can put a small tag about how short your line is somewhere in it for people to find.

I'm actually thinking of "fake speed shop" as my logo, no joke!

I know this is not what you're looking for, but a couple years ago I happened by this place in Omaha and thought it had the best name for a tattoo parlor I'd ever seen.....................

I think I have had a change of mind and will go with something local again. There is an area of Des Moines know as River Bend so I think I might use it instead of IOWA LOT. My Grandparents owned a restaurant while I was growing up and my grandpa had sign on the wall that I want to use for a quote accross the tailgate. It said, If you want to haggle my price bring your wife and I'll dicker. I always thought that was so funny.

If that is to offensive just remove from the post.

It depends on ones perception. That's a long slogan, do you have a long bed? Post it up when it's done.

Have at it. I wasn't the first person to do it and I won't be the last. I will post pics when I finally get around to doing it. This is the last busy week I have and then I can take some time for myself.

I havn't gotten the doors lettered yet but I did do along the box sides. The drivers is done but the passenger side needs the drop shadow. All weathered and I think it looks great.
