OT - Talking Cars Tuesday - Car Names
So I'm putting this thread up early because I'm traveling for work tomorrow, so this will have to roll into Tuesday.
So, Everyone's favorite Boxer/Physicist Neil Degrasse Tyson put together a list of 33 cosmic car names http://thenewswheel.com/neil-degrasse-tyson-puts-together-list-of-33-cosmic-car-names/
What names are your favorite for cars? So many today are numerical crap, especially the Germans who now use numbers that don't mean ANYTHING (A BMW 330i used to mean it was a 3 series with a 3.0L engine. The Mercedes C350 was a C class with a 3.5L engine. Now the BMW 328i has a 2.0L and the C43 AMG has a 3.0L. Dammit guys...)
What vehicle names and numbers hold a special place in your car-heart? Why?
My 1958 red and white Plymouth Fury named Christine. She's a jealous one, but repair bills are low and she doesn't tolerate shitters.
My brother's buddies had an old 1980ish diesel wood panelled station wagon. It was affectionately known as the Diesel of Death. It had a severely scarred and burned baby doll duck taped to the grill. They even wrote a song for the car called D.O.D. back when they were in a band called PWT.
