[QUOTE=Beware of Doug] The '99 VW [Pissant](http://www.automotive.com/1999/12/volkswagen/passat/reviews/index.html) (Passat to you). Still the greatest damn car I’ve ever driven. Fast, reliable, comfortable…if I didn’t have to load CDs into the trunk, it’d be perfect. [/QUOTE] Why not get a head unit that can play MP3 CDs or has a 3.5mm Aux input? That would solve your problem quite nicely. All my cars over the years have simply been called The MartiniMobile, regardless of make, model, year, etc. I wanted to get a keychain fob that would play the scene change music from the 1960s _Batman_ TV show, so then I could say “To the MartiniMobile!” and play that music. Alas, I never found one, so I have to make to with imagining that’s what’s happening instead. 😃 ---

[QUOTE=Morbo] I’m guessing it put out a bunch of smoke? 🙂 [/QUOTE] Well, sorta. The Foomobile was Smokey Stover’s little red car; I’m a volunteer fireman. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nicknames-youve-given-your-vehicle/459069.md?page=3)
