mine gets called "the beast" now and then to, when i was in trade school everybody called it the beast

MacCoug · 03-30-2007, 10:55 AM

This is a great thread! I just got my 72 C10 about 3 weeks ago and I'm trying to come up with a name as well. Here are some of my past car names...

76 El Camino - Green Machine
82 Corolla - Silver Bullet
74 GMC pickup - Ol' Brown (or "The Shuttle" as my co-workers would say "The Shuttle has landed" because they'd hear me pull in the parking lot)
64.5 Mustang Conv. - Jane (it was all stock)
93 Nissan pickup - The Hemi (because it was gutless)
64 VW Bug - Bert (I have no idea why, it just stuck)

Wow, typing this list has brought back some memories!!!!

Everone calls my truck " The Pumpkin "

Rdrdave · 03-30-2007, 06:44 PM

My wife calls mine "da truck" and my daughter wants to call it the "hello kitty" truck. Who knows where they get these names! Hopefully, my son (he's 14 months) will come up with something like the "grim reaper" or "sick" or something in that line.

"Pumpkin" (I'm sure) must be a code word for

"Cinderella's Once in a Lifetime Ride to the Prince's Ball"

my favorite vehicle's name was my dad's old brown chevy big 10 named "dookie"

blukangoo · 03-31-2007, 04:02 AM

I call my 68 "Baby" because I treat her like one.

My daily driver is called "Blue Kangoo" made from the make and color.

My ATV was called "Worthless piece of S**t" before I brought it back.

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 03-31-2007, 04:20 AM

The '68 Stepside is "Agent Orange"/ the '71 Jimmy is "Blue Thunder"/ the '67 K/10 Suburban w/ 454 was "White Fang"/ and the '72 Blazer project is "the Phantom of the Junkyard."

GREASEMONKEY72 · 03-31-2007, 04:22 AM

"dookie"....hahahahahaha

LUV2XCLR8 · 03-31-2007, 06:56 AM

Well these are very familiar to most of you, a few maybe not

The 4wd is "GQ" which of course is short for "The Garage Queen"

The 2wd was recently changed to "Merlot" hense the wine color

The Wifes I call "Bevo" for "Best Envestment Only" she got 96K
out of the 1st set of tires, has 60K and counting on this set, it
has 155K on the factory brakes and they still look awesome w/
lil or no pulsating, only money I have spent since 99 is on A/C.

Then there is the F-150, believe it or not I have NOT named it.
I am sure most of you could give me plenty of ideas

but it
was a really good deal and I use it as my DD for work everyday.

brak · 03-31-2007, 08:03 AM

my brother inlaw had a car that he beat to hell with a baseball bat, and continued to drive it for 2 years.

It officially became the "Bat Mobile"

Trey` · 03-31-2007, 09:41 AM

'70 model called the Death Trap cause it tried to kill me. '00 is called Pit Bull. My little boys call the Luv, the Chevy Luuuv in there best Tx accent, it is hilarious to hear.

ETsC10 · 04-09-2007, 11:24 PM

My DD is "C-10", the big green GMC (just sold) was "BigButt", and the last doner truck was "Maggie"...
......................named after her rear window sticker.

I'm sure the new C30 will name itself...

I've tried to name a few of my trucks, but it didn't seem to matter to them. No matter how many times that I stood outside and called for them, they still wouldn't come.
