Re: What are your vehicle's names?

My previous '67 LWB was named "Crusty" because it was just that....a crusty old work truck and it was multi-hued like a clown.

My current '67 SWB is named "Murdock" after that crazy MFer from the "A-team". A bit unorthodox, but always comes through in the clutch!

My DD Suburban is named "Betty" ........Whoa black betty bow ta bow, whoa black betty. Yeah it's from the song (It's black in case it wasn't obvious).

And my wifes BMW is named "Joy"- because it is such a joy to drive (if your into haulin' a$$ through the twisties!). Of course when it needs something fixed I call it the "Stupid F-ing Kraut Can!"

Re: What are your vehicle's names?

My 71 C20 came with one. Upolstered in the seat back no less. Old Nelli. But starting to exhibit symptoms of being an old coot.

Re: What are your vehicle's names?

Sometimes I refer to mine as the "bft" (big effen truck) but I don't think that qualifies as a name.

Re: What are your vehicle's names?

My vehicles pick up names over time and they will change.

1972 Chevelle Malibu (1st car) Fuzzy or fuzzy car, the licesne plate was 274 FZY
1967 Chevelle Malibu, 1 Lame Trash Pile, again the plates 1LTP133
1970 Buick GS350 4SPD, Turd would have fit it due to the brown that was flaking off.
1986 Monte SS, "The Monte" (friend owns it now and the name is still with it)
1971 Monte Carlo, Started off as Thunder when the 406 SBC when it, now Blue Thunder due to the color. (still own this one)
1972 Camaro, the "Pickle"........hey it aint easy being green (the only green car I ever bought)
1970 Buick Skylark, No name but Ethel would have worked.
1968 Chevelle Malibu, Jester.......I don't know why.
1974 C10 SWB Stepper, was "the truck" then "the 74" and now it is "Black" or paperweight (till the engine get back in it).
1967 C10 SWB Stepper, "the Farmer" or now "Red" and "67"......Jake might work for it too. It came from Reno area so that might be a good name.

Re: What are your vehicle's names?

I've never named any of my rides, but my 1st car had a nick-name given by my friends and was called the "Grey Torpedo". It was a 87 Honda that was grey in color. Even after a paint change to burgandy, the name stuck.

Last night while trying to bleed the brakes, the blazer became "Torpedo's Tio" or "Tio Torpedo" or "Torpedo Two"...I'm sure it'll take on a few other names, but I think I'll still call it "The Blazer".

Re: What are your vehicle's names?

My 67 Slant is Mad Max because it is a road warrior
My Custom Camper is Rusty because it is
My 70 short stepper is Rose-the American Beauty, from the Grateful Dead album and because it is an American Beauty
My 97 Z28 is the Hornet because it is green and looks like a Hornet
My 71 camper is Scotty because it is a Serro Scotty Sportsman
