Did you ever have a 'pet name' for one of your vehicles?

I called my old pick up truck Beulah.

Did you ever have a 'pet name' for one of your vehicles?
My very first vehicle was a 1954 Willys P/U. I named it "Turd", because it left me stranded in the mountains of Idaho, 45 miles from town. Luckily, we had a motorbike with us, so at least we didn't freeze to death in the cold night air.


I had a 4wd Subaru wagon that was called "The *****" because it had a carb problem that only manifested itself when in very tight places in the pine woods of Georgia. Like dead smack between 2 trees, with 3-4 inches clearance on either side.


I now have a "Thunder Chicken".
Reply:The first 4 cars I owned all shared the same nickname..."You piece of s**t!"

Our '91 Mercury Grand Marquis has yet to be named


Our '01 Chrysler Sebring convertible is, 'Lill-Lee'
Reply:All of ours have had names, Blue, Buck, Wilma, and Sunni are the last few! Good question! Isn't it funny how our perception of certain names is? i.e. old truck =Beulah! lol!
Reply:My sister had a car in London many years ago. It was a Renault 5 (yes, a Renault again --- see my answer to your question a few days ago about the worst car I ever had). This car's numberplate began with the letters FLF and the car was known among all her friuends as "Fluff".

Reply:Rosebuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuud. Sorry, just felt like raising Kane. Why is Rosebud considered spam? Yahoo's resonses are just Orwellian sometimes. Perhaps the greatest movie of all time, and he was just 26. Rosebud, there I said it, or rather typed it. keep the spam.

Reply:Every vehicle I've ever owned has had a nick-name.


Before I was old enough to drive, my bicycle was Samuel.


My first truck (a 1951 1-ton flatbed) was Homer.


Then there was the Leer Jet ('69 Camaro), my Toybox (not very creative for a 1983 Toyota), Patches ('84 Ford Ranger), Randy ('85 Ford Ranger) %26amp; now Sylvia ('93 Ford Explorer)!


My mother called her old station wagon Charlie, my brother called his antique Ford Coupe Rat-car, Dad called his Camaro The Slug %26amp; his pickup truck Lurch.


I guess this sort of insanity runs in my family!

Reply:Oh my dear, Althea.....*sobs in front of everyone* Boy do I miss her! She was my 1971 VW bus. Hand painted by me and a bunch of preschoolers....she sported all kinds of artwork. Headlights with eyelashes and hand drawn ruby red lips. *sniff, sniff* If only I was wise enough to take better care of her. If only I had the heart to give her more TLC. If only I had the money to afford all the parts that kept breaking. *sighs* I miss her and think of her often. She was my sweet Althea. *gently blows her nose and wipes the tears off her cheeks*
