A name never popped out at me for any of the cars I've owned but I do call my husbands camoflage 3/4 ton 85 Dodge flatbed truck Shirley - it just seemed to fit.  My husband hates when I call his truck that though, he calls it Bader.  The employees at one of his jobs used to call it the chick magnet and even put a "chick magnet" sticker on it.  I thought that was great too.

I like Shirley. I have an Aunt Shirley and she is one tough cookie...as I would suspect that old dodge is!

Mine's name is Dirt McGirt. A friend of mine called it that and it kinda stuck...

I like to to tell people my Eagle is like a Ferrari. It's quirky, tempermental, border-line exotic, and something you don't see everyday.  See? Makes perfect sense....

Too many cars and almost all are named. Wife has a name for her '12 Kia Soul! Red Rollerskate.
My Eagle wagon is Brown Betty.
My '84 J10 "Monster truck" is Black Jack (it's been a gamble to make it as custom as I have in the past 12 years and it may finally be finished and running on LPG before December!)
The '68 IH Travelall is pumpkin bus (orange)
My '87 Comanche is Sarge (due to the stars and stripes headliner when I got it and mil spec interior lights from a Humvee or tank)

The Honcho hasn't quite been named yet.

My Spirit was Spirit of the Eagle (glad to see that finished. One less project to deal with)
My '89 Comanche is sort of named stretch because the plan is to put a 290/AX-15 or AW4 in with doors from a 2 dr XJ and extend the cabe to put a shortbed on it.
AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!

"The society which scorns excellence in plumbing as a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy: neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water."--John W. Gardner, in "Excellence: Can We Be Equal and Excellent Too?" (1961)

Air-conditioning is so cool!
