Cars, and, their specialness, Nicknames we have for them,

My first car, and the only one with a name, was the Buick Skylark I had in high school. This car was huge. The back seat was the approximate size and shape of a queen size bed, so we named the car “The Teen Dream.”

It was an ironic name, because I was getting absolutely no play while I had that car.

Dolores is a dull red Ford Escort.

Hey! Mine’s a 1989 Oldsmobile 88 Grande Royale, maroon! Awesome! Do you get shit for driving an old lady’s car? I love when I pass people and see them look confused at how fast “Grandma’s” going. :slight_smile:

Delphica, my backseat is cavernous, and I’m really hoping to get to try it out. So far, no good.

“Jimi”- our 1987 Jimmy 4 by 4 (the kind with the one star roll rateing). That truck has been through more shit then a heard of beef cattle

“Fat Freddy the Shaggin’ Wagon” -the Dodge Ram van i lived in last summer. I couldn’t drive it (no battery, licence, front right tire) but we were pretty close after 2 months.

“Das Boat” - our old station wagon, i put over 1,070kms on her in under 3 days once… them’s was the days

“The Dreadnought” The even BIGGER station wagon we got after Das Boat finally passed on to a better place (we gave it to my sister). it’s frikkin huge.

“The Green Baron” - A friend of mine’s Benz, maaaaaan what a car… still going strong too

“Useless Shit Heap” - another friends car (i bum a lot of rides). the best thing about it was the radio would cut out randomly, so you’d have to take it out and hit it against the dash board to get it to work again, good fun.

“The Vegan Wagon” (pronounce the “W” in Wagon as you would the “W” in Wagner) - a Vegan owned it, nuff said, i think it was a Toyota.

“Mr. Herb” - another friends of mine, a VW Jetta, just had a lotta good times in it, he now owns a slightly newer Jetta named “Jefferson”

I’ve got it so modified already, that it is as tricked out as a ‘68 Impala; everyone think it’s a friggin’ beast, and pimpmobile, and it’s ALMOST old enough to be considered a classic…

My '88 Fiero is called The Clown Car, because of its tiny size. It has also been called the HO HO Mobile (long story), and Baby.

I know somone with a really wussy '94 Geo Tracker. Its called, The Slacker, The Shitbox, The Leafblower and Beast Machine (sarcastic).

I would just like to say how disappointed I am in the men of the SDMB. I make an allusion to a li’l girl on girl action and have nearly 24 hours later received NOT ONE random IM! I guess it’s back to the masturbation threads…
