Besides the usual profanity riddled names given to junkers, what is the worst nickname you've heard on a truck or car?

For me it's Sarah-in-Tune's Subaru. She has a Forester she named Gump.

Forester Gump

Can anyone match or top this?

Doing things wrong, until I get it right.
My Buddy's wife put those cheap chrome letters on her explorer. She put DORA right above the badge on the rear door.
Dora the Explorer ?‍♂

I’ve never named my vehicles with one exception. The ‘98 had the nickname of jalopy, only because of the condition it was in when I bought it. I had three vehicles at the time and two of them were Rangers.

My girlfriend on the other hand has. She even named the 2019. I think just to irritate me. Nothing horrible but she did.

I never understood what would drive people to do that. Not like it hurts anything but, why?

To answer the why... I say why not.

But... now we (or at least I) want to know what she named the new rig...

Named my vehicles (keep in mind that it started with my buddy naming my 93 ranger)

93 ranger rwd 4 banger = Little Blue
94 ranger 4x4 4.0l = Big Red
05f250 = Big White Behemoth
11 escape = Quick Silver (my wife named this one)

all names given just for fun:p

we had a red 2009 Dodge Charger named Clifford. the name came because that POS was in the shop every other oil change since we bought it new in 09. we called it Clifford because that car was a big red dog..

My credo
the grey-t escape
Ive thought about getting badges from a junkyard to put on the escape, we use it for trips so “journey “ escape?
The hhr resembles a panel truck from the early 50’s. Ive thought about badges from a mini cooper and a suburban, make it litterly a “mini suburban “.
my current truck was named the blue streak by my g/f. I think “the johnny cash edition “ is more fitting, diffrent parts from diffrent year rangers- I built it one peice at a time.

I never named any of my vehicles because they are inanimate..... People who talk to inanimate objects are well you know, CRAZY AF! I never named my truck "stranger" either, "Danger Ranger" was already taken on this site lol.
