While I will grudgingly admit I name vehicles, but I usually name them for animals
"The Beast" was my utter POS 1982 F250 4x4.
"The White Whale" has been a traditiona name for any white Van,
most recently my snow white AWD Aerostar (Though occasionally
refered to as "Arrrrgggh!")
"The Turd" refered to one particuarly annoying Taurus (brown of course)
My Ranger has been refered to as "Traveler", like Robert E. Lee's Horse
My little '88 Ranger was "Blue"
My Bronco2 was refered to as "the Bitch" (it provided a history of aggrevation)
The F250 that a friend and I built from left over parts after restoring two other trucks
and parting out two others in the course of doing so was "the Creature"
One of the trucks we parted out was a 1993 F150 lightning, a Lightning for which
we actually had the title... but we parted it anyway.
MY old Saab 900Turbo was refered to as "the Wasp", as will be the '85 Saab 900turbo
I'm building, even though the common parts on the new car would literally fit into a milk crate
Why a Saab 900turbo you ask? because even today it is still 25years after the
fact still one of the fastest cars 75-120 ever tested by Car & Driver or Road & Track
Magazines (and I've taken enough money from members of the local Porsche club
proving it.) it is also a car that I havew personally run at 135mph for the duration
of a full tank of gas... (IF anyone asks I'll tell you where and when as the Statute
of Limitations has is long expired
I've recently been wondering what to call my '97 Taurus.. and settled on "Gator"
Anyone guessing that it's Cayman green must be reading my mind
