What did you name your truck?

I have been doing some thunkin' (as my little one says) on what to call my truck. I came up with Timeless Bowtie since it's a classic chevy. Let me hear what you call yours.

Re: What did you name your truck?

My wife wouldn't let me name my blue GMC - I suggested Jimmy, James, the Jimmster, and "JIMMY!" (spoken like Timmy on South Park when he says "TIMMY")...she said those names were too obvious...so she came up with the name Max...as in Blue Max, since she likes that movie.

Re: What did you name your truck?

My dad always had silly names for the cars: the 1975 Pontiac was the "Pon on Ton" and the Subaru was the "Stupidroo" but I only remember him calling my truck "the truck."

I just call it the same but I do refer to it in the feminine. I'll ponder on a name now though...

Re: What did you name your truck?

For me, trucks aren't female (nor are cars, boats, yes) and the only names are colors (the gray truck) or other unambiguous IDs.
