"Back in the day..." When I was in high school, the cool guys named their rides and painted the name on the rear fender. There was "My Blue Heaven", " The Purple Pig"- (fugly purple A coupe), "Lavender Lady" , and others, of course. We had a '57 Chevy moredoor that was previously owned by a tall, "generously built" lady we named after her-"Little Lucy". '56 Buick Special 4 door hardtop was the "Special". My "89 Jeep named itself after one unplanned, hairy ride down a Steep hill-backwards! She's now "The Sphincter Shrinker".
I have called my 69 Charger "Gretchen" from day one just because in her original color she reminds me of a sweet, long legged, sexy looking Swedish girl with tig ol' bitties that will take you for one hell of a ride.
Almost forgot.. I've got a 48 or 50 Ford 8N I call "lil Red".. So when I'm out grading my drive with it... I'm "Lil Red" Riding I never said I was a comedian.
Every morning it's called "Tania" Tania being the Welsh word for "fire up" or ignite, especialy in our damp climate.
I have a name for my car, but I only use it when I'm talking to myself. Ya know like when you remember to go to the parts store to get something for Xxxxx, or Xxxxx needs a QC---but only to myself. In public its just the roadster. Works for me!
The S-10 chassis my '54 Ford is on was nicknamed "Wobbles" because the rear wheel would "wobble" (The frame had some rust in the rail at the leafspring hanger, and i think the wheel is out of balance) so now when I talk to people who rode or drove in it before I refer to it as "Wobbles". Course it will no longer wobble now.
