Does your Jeep have a name?

See JD Hidalgo is the neame I WANTED, but you already have it. This is all YOUR fault!

I keep trying to hear mine, but this little Jeep is the strong silent type. I agree, and I know it sounds weird but I think that our machinery knows more than it lets on.

I had that 95 GT. Her name was Baby. She was like the car in Christine. I have a whole long story about that car, pretty eeerie actually but it's too damn early to try and type it all out

LOL Earle... now cut that out.

I wonder if they will come afte me too... gawd I hope not.

If you named your Jeep and talk to it, you are a candidate. ;^)

Earle

Well, I still have not names it - yet. BUT I do talk to it.

Don't you talk to yours?

If I'm a candidate, do I run for president?

Yeah, well it does now. It didn't when it got the name. I think the name came from my brother-in-law who had the first race jeep which was a '74 CJ-5 he sold that (which he's still kicking himself for) and bought a '76 Harley Sportster (which he sold because he needed the $ and he's kicking himself even harder for). I yanked the 258 in mine which never ran very good and sure never had much snort. A few years a go I put in a 360 along with some other motor goodies. BTW, it's an '84 CJ. Same or better mileage too. Pete

Ain't no law that says you can't use that name too. I'd be willing to bet that somewhere in the USA, there is another gal named KATE too.

No way! really??? More than one of me?

THAT is a threat to national security.

MudBall....

Lets see... the Cavalier, is just that, the "Cavalier" (or that god damned car).

My sisters Mustang is B-Stang. Her hubby's Subaru is Scrappy. His Willy Wagon is currently called Erk.

Freinds Rabbit is Cutecar (her screen name is cutegirl). His volvo is "The Wagon", Peggy is the '33 Chevy Pickup, the 60 Vette is just the Corvette, the Blazer was the Bla$er aka Bea, the vintage pontiac wagon was the Boat. Harvey was the VW wagon. I cant remember all the others, there was a Sciroco named Brock, some other wagons, a Chevy Nomad who's name I cant recall, etc. All had names, most of them fitting.

My jeep was named by committee... between the guys at work and my freind (above) with all the cars... mostly because I didnt ever wash it when it was new (still dont), I figured if I wheel every weekend or two, whats the point, besides I live in an apt and he doesnt like us to wash cars here very often? I kept getting asked at work when I was going to wash that mud ball, and pretty soon the name stuck.

Well-

Before the overhaul my XJ's name was--

YOU SON OF A !@#$%! WHAT THE $%^& IS WRONG NOW? WHY YOU LITTLE BAST%RD I OUGHTA CUT YOU IN HALF AND MAKE HOT TUB OUTA YA!

Now it's name is Whimpy (like from popeye) because no matter how many hamburgers you feed it it is still gutless up the hills do to it's 3:07 gears in the front and rear.

Once I change out the diffs then I will probably call it Sparky

Jeremy a.k.a. Scooter

Mike Wazouski...

Since he is the color of the green character in the movie Monsters Inc.

Somehow, my Jeep became the Geezer Jeep. I have no idea how it got that name, it just kind of happened. ;)
