Truck Names

Mine is Taco

 

I tend to make up nicknames for most things (including people), so I've nicknamed most but not all of the vehicles I've owned over the last 35 years.

Currently, I own Mamba and Sleeper (S-Runners), and my daily driver Element is nicknamed Sumpter (archaic term for a pack animal).

Earlier nicknames I've given my vehicles included:

- The BeachBall (ancient used multi-colored Beetle)
- Grey Ghost (silver PreTaco)
- Rojo (red VW)
- Weasel (silver Rabbit diesel)

This habit goes back to the teen years. My high school 'gang' pals generally nicknamed their regular vehicles. Some that I recall include Old Yeller, The Great White Whale, and the Green Groder.

 

I named my 1995 chevy truck P.O.S. Enuff said.

 

So...What did you name the Garmin?

 

My wife had started calling my old truck "that beast". The Tacoma hasn't been called anything but truck so far. The only "thing" I've ever named was Slow Dance.

 

Just got mine a few days ago so I haven't named it yet.

 

My truck's name is Adelaide. Yes, she's a girl.

 

no, naming vehicles is ghey.

 

I named mine Mrs. Smith. Because I was watching TV while waiting to see the finance guy the day I bought my taco and breaking news came on that Anna Nicole Smith had died.

 

I named her Lois.

Have you ever seen Malcolm in the Middle, if you have you know that he has a very controlling mom. She is always yelling and bossing people around. It's pretty much the same thing with my Garmin so I named her after her.

 

P.S. My friend's name my cars, then I just stick with it.

 

my first car was a pontiac vibe hatchback where the black laid completely flat... It will forever be known as the SHAGWAGON!!!!!

no name for the truck though

 

It gets referred to as the beastie.

no name for this one yet last one was yoder we had an old bronco II that was pretty well ragged out we called "BIG BAD" in high school i had an 89 ford probe that was called anal (anal probe) my buddy would drive his mom and dad's escort wagon we called it silver bullet. had a friend who was as white as white could be and he thought he was a gangsta had an old... hell i don't even remember what it was maybe a shadow or something like that with the chrome hub caps, self installed dark limo tint, different colored doors, bumper bra draggin the ground, life's savings in the stereo system we called "General G"

 

Haha, sounds like King of the Hill.

 

I've named every vehicle I've ever owned. Some of thems' name has changed over time though. My Ranger started off as Tonto, after sinking thousands into keeping it running it was YOU F*^$ING PIECE OF S*&T!!!!!!

But my taco is running sweet and her name is Lucy!

 

01.(like letter o and number 1) thats what we call her.

 

Odie, had a truck for 15 years before I bought the tacoma. I called the old truck "Little Blue", as an "Ode" to "Little Blue" I call my truck Odie.

 

My friends and I just call it the "Yota". Never really came up with anything other than that.
