Re: What are your vehicle's names?

Lets see, my truck is usually called "good girl" while driving, the four wheeler is called "come on darlin" when almost stuck, and the dune buggy was ALWAYS called "you little F&*KING B*TCH", on any occasion. Of course, it was always muttered, never EVER spoken louder than a whisper.

I just call my bike ZZR by its model and the truck Blue. I got the idea from Old School - Joseph 'Blue' Palasky. "Your my boy Blue" Will Ferrell

Re: What are your vehicle's names?

Ill start with my wife’s suburban "Jimmy" (appropriate after she keeps locking the keys in it and I have to keep jimmying the door to get in) . My 93 GMC pickup (Betsy) the kids love that one. And my 70 "Orange Juice" (I wonder why)

Re: What are your vehicle's names?

My list is a little twisted but here is goes.

The wifes La Sabre is the La Slobber, My 1996 Bronco is the Bronco-Mo. The 1970 Blazer gets called the metallic turd based on its color, not because it has ever spent time on the front yard. I would prefer to call it gone or sold. My latest 1972 Blazer does not have a name yet, but I am going to order the ABLAZN plates for it today. I started to call it the White Whale, but a friend of mine said it was not big enough to be a whale, so I thought about calling it the Beluga since that is a little white whale. I did name the Mustang that I use drag race "Divorce Therapy" because it made me feel good and the "sessions" were expensive.

Re: What are your vehicle's names?

I call my 68 long fleetside "Longshot". I was forced to sell it for a plane ticket back from Japan while in the Navy after a pretty devastating motorcycle accident. The Navy said I could convalesce at home for 3 months if I paid my own way, so I had my mom sell the truck. Fast forward 4 years to me taking an electrical apprenticeship and driving around the countryside for work about 25 miles from where I grew up. I saw it parked under an oak tree and asked the new owner if I could buy it back. I did.
I named it Longshot, for it being next to impossible that I would actually see it again, and it is a long box.

I also have a 1988 Volkswagen Vanagon that I run back and forth to work named Vangina, but that story will be kept private...

Good judgment comes from experience, and experience, well......that comes from bad judgment.


1968 Chevy C-10 "Longshot": Bought used from my Uncle George in 1994 and proceeding to beat the hell out of it for 4 years. Sold it. Bought it back, dumped an ungodly amount of money into it since then.

Re: What are your vehicle's names?

We are calling her "Tangerine Dream" for three reasons.

1. The truck is orange...
2. The band who shares the same name was founded in '67 and the truck is a '67 short-step!
3. It's been our dream to get her on the road.

Clever huh?

Re: What are your vehicle's names?

They don't get names, and they aren't referred to as she/her, etc. The orange truck, the silver bike, or the Chevelle... Since I sold the siver bike tonight (not sure if I'm happy or sad), the charcoal grey bike is now just the bike...

Re: What are your vehicle's names?

I just got mine and I named it Gideon. The reason is when I push the clutch in it sounds just like a donkey, and Gideon is the side kick of the villain who lures Pinocchio into the fair where he becomes a donkey. I know its a little obscure, but I like it. (and for those wondering I didnt know it off the top of my head haha)

Re: What are your vehicle's names?

Usually we name our trucks after the state we bought them from. This is the only truck that got an actual name. The whole body is sprayed in bed liner, 9'' of lift and 37'' military hummer tires.... we call it BABY BLUE.

Hmmmm. Guess it's time for an update.

'68 C-10 LWB, my DD -- still "C-10"
'69 C-30 LLWB -- "one-ton-across-the-street"
'68 C-10 LWB -- "AprilFool"

'87 Allegro -- "The little motor home"

Maggie's gone but parts from her keep filtering back to me
