Re: What are your vehicle's names?

I have named a few over the years but the only one that comes to mind on my 72 swb project right now is Rusty

Re: What are your vehicle's names?

Faith (67) and Blue-Z (Z71). They're both stupid. My girlfriend named them. She named her corolla Canolie and her Tacoma Yoda.

Thank God I didn't let her name my dogs, they're Oreo and Nabisco

I call them "old truck" and "new truck" even though the Z is about 7 1/2

Re: What are your vehicle's names?

I'll start with my 69. Generally, she's referred to as "the 69" (get that.) But, she's also affectionatly referred to, or words that help describe her; rusty, ugly, scrap, pos, and a few other things, some of which can't be said here.

My 97 doesn't really have a name, unless you count how many times I've called her "baby" ... or just "the 97". There have been times she's deserved other, more inappropriate names, but let's not go there.

Our 69 Mustang is usually called just that; "69 Mustang" although I do like to call it the "69 Pony"

This old blue farm truck is my bud's, which he named "Winston". Don't ask why...

Re: What are your vehicle's names?

I got my grandpa's truck 13 years after after he died, when my grandmother died. My grandma was Marguerite. Therefore, the truck's name is Marge.

But the truck is sometimes known as WTF? You POS SOB!

Re: What are your vehicle's names?

Mine is "The Happy Hooker"

Let me explain;

I am a Chinook Helicopter Crewchief in the Army and our nickname for the job is Hookers. My truck is about to get a paint job to look like a helicopter from the Vienam era. To include the nose art. Thats why!

Re: What are your vehicle's names?

Hmmm...

The only two cars I had named where my '87 nova that I painted Raspberry. We called it "Raspberry Wonder" and the '81 C10 my dad called "Gutless Wonder" I renamed "AquaFresh" when it became mine and I painted it Pepsi blue and mint.

I call the '72 "The '72". Once it's painted something will come to me, I hope.

70c10 - that's one of my favorite rides that ive seen so far, i dunno why but it just stands out to me. i love the color and the stance seems just right.
