First Car "Nick Names"

Wake up to an old thread

 

Let's see, every car my grandpa owned was Betsy...

My dad once had a 73' or so F-100 that was beat to shit (bed was held together with bungie cords) named "Wilda" short for Wildabeast

My dad's friend had a green 58 F-100 with a 429 that he called Miss Piggy



Previous owner called my car "The U.P.S. car"

 

Not my first car but I had a little yellow pontiac astre wagon (like a vega but pontiac)when I was a teen.
A friend of mine named it "Herbert the lemon" jokingly making fun of it as did my other friends but everyone was always glad to get a ride somewhere in it.

 

Antimated Ironpile.34 Ford 5 window named by the local city cop ,Thats where I got my HAMB name.

 

my 65 Impala 4 dr hardtop was called "the party wagon" by all my friends, not realy sure why.

 

'84 Mazda B2000 pick up knicknamed the Mazdaratti. It back-fired, raced of stalled at idle, so I had to feather the gas it, heal the brake, work the clutch, shift gears, adjust the hand choke, and keep my 100lbs German Shepard on the passenger's side. I think it must be like driving a Model T Ford.

We called it the Mazdaratti....it was far from it.

 

My first car was a '66 Caprice 2 dr with a 396. I called it "the Caprice" because that's the name on the side of the car. I call my Nomad, "the Nomad." I call my coupe, "the coupe."

 

"Nadine" was the '69 AMX 390 4speed with go pack sold out from under me by my parents before I turned 16 (too many tickets and a mustang eater no doubt) never was outran in that car
and my true first bought with my own coin was my '67 Chevy step-side aptly named 'ole blue which I still have. Ole Blue has been through three sbc 350's and I still have her original 250 in the garage on engine stand unhurt when pulled. Hard to kill a long stroke 6 cyl but the saginaw 3 speed tranny is long gone When I pulled the motor and trans for the first time I put the shifter in the floor along with a TH350 (go figure)

Back in the 50s, my Boston high school days, I named my car... The Mayflower.
Why?
Because so many Puritans came across in it.

 

My first car? Piece of Sh*t Toyota, otherwise known as freedom!

Wife's first car- I dubbed it the "unripe banana boat". Give me a break, I was 14 and it was an avacado green '72 Plymouth Fury.

 

My first car ( which I still have ) is a 1950 Mercury....a bunch of girls from high school named her "Myrtle".

Before the car was repainted in 2004, it was renamed......"Shenita"....short for..."she need a paint job"

 

I had a bicycle I painted black and flamed. I called it the "black flame." My father backed over it with his 57 Olds fiesta wagon. that was the end of my bicycling until I bought this one in 1999. It reminded me of the old "black flame."

GT Duece, sorry I never name any cars!

 

My first car was Candace ... Candace this piece of shit get me home! Now I have the "mistress"... I spend more time with her than my wife!!!

 

x2. we have a winner

 

I had one of the the many reincarnations of a car named "Shit box". It was a '74 Mazda RX-4 that was barely a few years old and was smoking like a locomotive by 60K miles. It actually started out with the nickname "Smokey" then got renamed "Shit Box" because parts were expensive and machine work almost non-existent for a rotary engine. I finally got it rebuilt but then later the POS 4 bbl carb (yes it really came like that from the factory) it had took a shit an made it run like shit. Luckily I was able to get rid of it. But "Shit Box" came back later as an '88 Ford Escort. That thing just decided to die when ever it felt like it, usually like in the middle of an intersection, a freeway on ramp or whatever that could be a bad place. I think I've had it's evil relatives as well named "POS" and "What the Fuck?!?" dressed up as various imports.

 

My first car was an o/t BMW 528e that was a real piece of shit. We used to call it "Thumper" as it had these huge ass bumpers on it, and well, it was good at hitting stuff. How me and my idiot friends never got locked up in High School with that car I'll never know. I also had an old T-Bird but that I was careful with.

 

"tina-the bitch"

 

A lot of my first cars were named Rhonda, like the Beach Boy song. My current car, an OT 2011 HHR Panel is named Miz Scarlet. Has a pic of Betty Page on the rear window brandishing a whip.

 

First car was called "La Bomba" It was a piece of crap.

 

My first was a 73 ventura (lasted 9 years incredibly) Had an earlier gto 389 engine in it so I called it "goat breath".

 

Her name was the ghetto.
