[ QUOTE ] Toyota Camry - I'm still in the closet. Volkswagen Cabriolet - I'm out of the closet. [/ QUOTE ] Thats funny, cuz I work with a super femmie guy (who everyone thinks is gay, but nobody knows for sure) who drives a camry, and a guy who IS gay (and tries to play it off like know one knows) who drives a cabriolet. HAHA costco is great.... -J.
In the late 70's early 80's a Black 70 GTO called the GODFATHER....was the baddest street racer in the Detroit area.. I always kinda liked RATPATROL too.
Well I saw this and thought "forgettable car" names, so thought you might take a hint from AMC - gremlin, pacer, marlin, etc....
My wife nicknamed my r/p-u HEINZ, 'cause of the variety of year and make cars that contributed parts to it
Melrose Missle,back in the '60's a Mopar if I remember , my favorite was a local car a jet black post '57 called the Nazi, ran the 1/8 mile track,fast as hell 327/4sp pulled by jet black '57 Nomad. What a sight going down RT 104 with these 2 cars heading for Spencer Speedway in 1960
some of the one i remember from our local dragstrip,a chopped 49 austin'low to no bucks","granpas toy",66 dodgecalled"flashback",and my fave"grounds for divorce".favourite from the ol days was Richard Schroeder"s wheelstander called"bad bossa nova"and a little R100 mazda drag car called"the samurai warrior"my brain hurts now. the Reverand
Local guy ran around in a VW trike with "Messa****d" painted across the back. Another guy has a transplanted deisel engine in a '56 Ford and across the deck lid is painted "Deiseldorf"....should just name it "Deisel ****"
There was a g***er style 56 Chevy back in my hometown when I was pre-driving age. Roll bar, big scoop, cut out wheel wells, loud & fast!!!!, called "Pure Pandemonium". Great name!
Yup..."Pure Hell"...followed closely by "Color me Gone". Also, "Swamp Rat", "Rambunctious" and "Hellzapoppin". And, for "exhibition racing"; Hemi Under Gl*** and Hurst Hairy Olds, Lil Red Wagon, and the "Backup Pickup" (A100 or Econoline? pickup with body reversed). (Damn...... to be young in the sixties!)
i called my Chevy Spectrum the "******".... I was going to modify the badges on the car to fit this ***le, but it died of unnatural causes before i could.... It had a 200MPH tape racing stripe on the hood....
My dad had a drag car sponsored by Mc Donalds that he called the "Quarter Pounder". Just for kicks, I think it would be fun to have a dual engined car with two tunnel rams and call it the "Four Quads".
My cousin ran a '55 chevy g***er in the late sixties, his name was Jack, so painted on the rear quarters was 'Jumpin Jack' Another car name that has stayed with me was 'Grounds For Divorce' Doug
My personal favorite was a show rod I believe in the late seventies. I think I have a picture of it somewhere, anyway it's a 35 or 36 Ford sedan delivery. Gold leaf on the side panels said "Beaver Retreiver"
Back in the '60's around here(western M***.) We had: Hellzapoppin' It was a small block Chevy powered slingshot that was the loudest car I ever heard run. Blown He**** A 30's something black panel truck with a blower motor . The U.S. Mule a small block powered 1953 MGB Berkshire Beetle A dragster run by a father / son team. Eastern Speed Enterprizes. They ran a '63 Dodge and Plymouth super stocker
ETAPDQ I saw it on a vette once, thing was hella fast. ( Estemadated ? Time of arrival , Pretty damn quick )
Will never forget this...........an f/c exhibition run in 1966 at the old Windsor Dragway between "Seaton's Shaker" and "Color me Gone" (Corvair vs. Charger)
39 Stude g***er...The Boss 54 Ford...........FUJIMO (**** You Jack I'm Moving On) My all time favorite was a 60 custom Pontiac with this painted on the 1/4 panel. .Problems... . .Problems... . . .Problems...
