Re: What are your vehicle's names?

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"

Re: What are your vehicle's names?

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...

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"
'69 C-10 LWB -- "the '69"
'87 Allegro -- "The little motor home"
'83 Pace Arrow -- "the Pace"
'02 Taurus SEL -- "car"
'70 GMC SWB -- "HappyShark!"

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

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.

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.

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.
