Enough of this post, I am going out to the garage to work on THE "place formal name here" hardtop and try to be productive.
I had a scottish mate who had a wallet called chihuahua too. It was too fuckin' small for him to get his fingers in when it was his shout!!
I've seen it happen, but usually the owner doesn't know, and it's done sarcastically. Like one around here that everyone refers to as "the gold chainer's car"
Well shit I knew I should have named my damn car. Just this morning the guy behind the counter at the QT (gas station) said "Hey you got the Rat out today" If that name sticks im gonna be pissed.
let's see; need lots of attention takes all the money can give both pleasure and pain can purr like a kitten, or roar. i say they are a she.
Well you are right hanging a monicer on a car is a tad snooty. Lots of big time show cars get named before that are ever built though. I think an old beat around car will no doubt earn its name. People should do it the same way with their kids, name them after they have been around for a while, like they did a long time ago.
bob johnson? i know his brother,BIG JOHNSON..... wait,that don't sound right? THE BIG JOHNSON SPECIAL!!!!
I have never named a car before starting my latest project It is a 1930 Model A salt flat looking street car beater but that was too long of a name so I just call it Junior Junior comes from my father and father in law that are both juniors. It is also my second Model A so it seems to fit. Posted from the TJJ App for iPhone & iPad
You can call me Ray Or you can call me J Or your can call me Ray J But you doesn't has to call me Johnson!
Back before the world was so politically correct and big brother was looking over our collective shoulders I let my kids ride in the bed of my pickup truck,,much like I did as a child. I had a old black '65 Ford pickup that I had filled in the hole in the roof that the mobile radio antenna had once resided and I had sprayed the area with some Rustoleum red primer. One day we were heading out the door and my girls said the wanted to go in spot,,, From that day on,,all of us refereed to the truck as Spot,,the truck now rest in the barn awaiting it's turn to go in the shop for it's return to the road. HRP
Are you kidding me? How many pages of responses? JC! This site is so odd to figure at times. Who the hell cares? I did like the earlier comment about naming farts, however. Now, I don't care who you are, that there is funny.
Seeing people refer to their car as "The what/whoever Roadster/Coupe ect" looks/sounds ridiculous. It strikes me as something a dude resembling William Howard Taft with a stuffy old British accent, wearing a plaid green wool suit and a monocle would do. Apologies to our HAMB brothers with stuffy old British accents.
I have a pet name for my car, but it only stays in my brain and is never uttered. Knew a fellow who painted his first letter and last name on the side of his scrap truck. Only problem is he left off the dot after the first letter--CRUDD. He saw it in his mind as C as in Charlie Rudd. Nice man he was, and he never saw it as the rest of the world saw it. Just a thing, and no big thing.
I painted a girlfriend's name on my car once. Luckily it was only 4 letters, Nina. Still took a good amount of thinner to get it off. Better than a tattoo though.
I know bob johnson and you sir are no bob johnson. On a side note my coupe got its name from the previous owner wondering how many bullet holes he had to fill while planning on what he was going todo with the car. I bought the coupe from him and in chaulk on the cowl was written 227 bullets. Coupe was added later by someone who I can't remember at this time. Also after moving to Phoenix need louvers and elpalcko told me it used to be called rubics duece due to being in so many pieces. Need louvers and Jeem nailed it with this thread.
