Car Nicknames?
 

I was just wondering how many of you have gone as far as to naming your pride and joys? Every car I have ever owned has received some kind of nickname:

'84 Chevy Cavalier Stationwagon "The Grunion"
'85 Chevy S-10 (w/ campershell) "The Party on Wheels"
"88 Ford Ranger "The Red Ranger"
'94 Ford Explorer "POS (piece of shit)/ The Exploder"
'02 Chevy Tracker "The Roller Skate"

I think my brother came up with the best for his motor home:
"The Shaggin' Wagon"

So share yours...

1974 Ford Maverick (painted as blue as can be) "The Blue Bomber"

2002 Acura RSX Type-S "Black Menace"

That's it...

1956 international: The Beast/ The machine

1969 Fiat 124: The Italian Non-Stallion

1987 Chevy Celebrity: Old Blue

1999 Grand Am: yet to be named...

Family's cars that I remember...

'98 Ford Explorer "Exploder" or "Mommy Mobile"
'94 Cadillac DeVille "The Barge"
'00 Chevy Silverado Z71 "The Beast"

My cars..
'94 Honda Accord "Sparkles"
'02 Honda Accord "Nadia" or "Desert Rocket" in memory of my first speeding ticket
'04 Acura TL .... too be decided

2002 Acura RSX-Type S: Amye.. that's what it says on my license plate.. and no i didn't choose the plate name. =P

My first car was a black suzuki sierra soft top. so naturally I called her "Suzi". The problem was that she kept breaking down on me all the time so she started to earn herself the nickname "The Whore". This was because even though she kept costing me a heap of money she was still fun to ride in. I eventually got rid of her because she was more whore than suzi. So I bought my present car, a blue mitsubishi lancer. I started to think of a name for the car but couldnt find one that really stuck. I was talking to a friend at work and he had this theory that if you named your car a female name then it would always break down all the time but a male name would produce loyal service. He has never found an exception of the rule and either have I. So i looked for a male name for my lancer. But since it is a real wog car I would constantly take the piss by calling it "De Lancer" (in wog accent). Eventually it just stuck as its name so now I just call my car "Delancer". I know they arent really original names but they just stuck. Kind of like how some samarai used to name there swords by maditating until the name just dawned on them.

I call the Mustang Grumpy because it often sits for a while and the fuel system needs to be primed, but it only has a mechanical fuel pump, so it takes it a while to start, (doesn't like wake up) hence Grumpy :).

I normally just call the maxima, the max or something like that. No real name for it, lol. I'm surprised my friends haven't thought of one yet either, lol.

1982 Chevy G20 RV style VAN - "PIG" or "Shagging Wagon"

the guys at work call it the "Scorpila" (my nick name is Scorpion)

Mustang = rustang

friends sunbird = sun chicken

after he got it running and tweaked it = super chicken

thunderbird = thunder turkey...note not related to the sun chicken :)

I call my Red Mustang "The Ace of Hearts" :)

My not-so-purple tacoma has been dubbed "The Purple Monster" by my friends.
And my friend has a green Ranger named "Tommy" ala the power rangers.
Lastly, the evil Fairlane Skyliner is now the "Rustbucket" as we can't figure out what's wrong with the electrical.

Call the skyliner the Lemon:D

92' Chev Suburban- "Biggles-Mobile" Due to odd license plate

I have a 2001 Huydai Accent that I call the Silver Hornet, after inspector Clouseau's ramshackle Citroen. I also have a 1998 black ford ranger named Spot Jr. (Spot was the 1989 black ford ranger I used to have.) My wife used to own a silver Stratus, which I called the grey fog, and she traded it for a red one, which was then the red fog.

I have a buddy, Dana, who used to have a 23' long Baby blue Lincoln town car (big enough that I once slept on the hood of it.) That was the Züül Train, and My buddy will has an onld Continental that he calls the Queen Anne's Revenge, after Blackbeard's flagship.

I would like to know why you slept on the hood of your buddies car?:hmm:

I had been awake for a couple of days, and it was the night that we needed to paint the local advertising bridge. So the Zuultrain is parked on the bridge, and I am starting to fall over, so tired am I, so I leanded progressively against the hood until I was actually laying on it and fell asleep.

I call my 86 mazda rx7 The Beater, because I got it for cheap and it looks like crap, not a great shifter, no ac(never came with car), parked outside, unlike our other two cars, rusty, and smells not so sweet inside. But I like it.

The old '86 F-350 I used to have was nicknamed 'The Pimpmobile" by my friends due the the doodads the previous owner had applied and I left on there.

I just call mine slow and swear at the transmission.

2002 JEtta "The Lemon"

My current car:

'94 purple Firebird-- The "Nerd Bird"

It's been a long running joke that I'm a nerd, though I think that I'm the only one who still insists that I am. Still, I got this awesome ride and slapped on some plates, "NRDBRD 1", to the chagrin of my friends, lol.

I never named any of my own vehicles, but my brother once had a mean old Thunderbird (early 80s I think) that was a real dog and looked like shit too. He called it the "Thunderbarge"

I had a 78 monarch I called "Pigasus".
83 prelude called Beth
00 venture hasn't been named yet but something will come up

80 Malibu Wagon: The WarWagon/Honda Killer
83 RX7: Rex
79 Firebird: My Baby

92 Olds Royale- The Boat; in high school it was the biggest car compared to all the other tiny geos and honda accords and civics. Name stuck even though no longer in high school.

LOL, I have never been able to go more then 30hour without sleep


Hey I found a 88 RX-7 near where I live the guy put a chevy 350 in it....looks sweet and goes damn fast....and he is selling it for cheap!

Ontario is a little far from maryland, but thanks for the tip.

hence
"Dirty Sanchez":D

Ford Capri - horrible car hence "Crapi" :D

Volkswagen Van = Shagwagon

I used to drive my dad's '88 white Dodge Dakota pickup which my friends lovingly called "The Beast". That thing was a menace.

Our silver neon was also dubbed "Pixie" by them.

My personal favourite was my friend's Aztec we called "Bugly". Im sure you all can figure out why ;)

My Dad's '92 Ford Aspire is known to all as "The Crumplatron". A buddy of mine had one, and he got into a fender bender with it and the front end just crumpled... The name has kinda stuck with it.

The red Ford Festiva we had before that was "The Red Baron" because the muffler kept dieing and it sounded like an old airplane engine.

My dad used to have a '77 Dodge Van that we called "The Shitmobile" because it was such a gawdawful rusted out nasty ass beast.

'92 Nissan Sentra - "Pegasus" (she was my flying stallion)
'90 Honda Civic - "Grey" (simple enough, and obviously the car is grey)

My dad had a 73 Ford Custom 500 with a 351 Windsor in it, the all time POS without a doubt.

My friend nicknamed it "the gas guzzling dinosaur" And it was true too.

In 93 or so, I bought an 82 Chevy Citation with a 2.8 V-6 that I called "Blue Thunder".

You should have called the Honda the Silver Bullet...but My guess is it didn't go that fast.


My buddy has 3 87 Daytona's the 2 Silver ones are the Twin Bullets

And Im buying the 87 Dytona Shelby Z 2.2 Twin Turbo....so I called that the Red Rocket!:lol:

I used to call my white '84 Volvo turbo "the refrigerator" because it looked, well, like a refrigerator.

I call my white oldsmobile Mother Theresa because it looks like a car a nun would drive
