Question Have you given a pet name to your...

rig?

I was showing off pics of my truck to some of my coworkers when one of them mentioned that I should name her. I thought about it and couldn't come up with anything... as I was continuing to show off my options and stuff, we found that the official color was Imperial Jade Mica. Right then and there I officially named my mechanical baby, "Jade"

What's your story?

yeah I was planning on naming my supra Lynne (My first *true* love). I'm probably going to once I get the dawg.

Seems like that would be the best thing to name the car.

Name a car? pffff...

I call it "the truck" or 4Runner, since that's what it is.

I have gone way too in depth here!

I have named my tacoma, and spent way too much time pondering this. First, vehicles break down into masculine and femine, and i thought the tacoma was femine. Its not a huge vehicle, and it doesn't look macho, but it is rather peppy when you get behind the wheel. My grandpa has a tundra, and when we park are trucks together, it looks like a father-and-son truck set, you know? His truck looks like the large, quiet, mature old person, and mine is the smaller, louder, more rambuncious version. Anyways, i call my truck princess, because my friend has a cat named princess, and after I got a flowmaster exhaust put on my tacoma, my friend said my truck purred like a cat. So the name has just kind of stuck.
