Vehicle names
Call us strange if you like, but we have names for all our vehicles.
Our 87GN, my wife named Zeus when she bought it new in 87. She was once asked "Why Zeus?". She told them, "Because he is the lord of the road"! It is mainly a work day driver for me, because it gets better gas mileage than the Jeep. We are just over 190K miles and still going strong. Three transmissions, one timing chain, and numerous modifications and improvements. I still have to find that camaro!
My 87 Jeep Wrangler I have named Frankenstein. It fits, because it is put together with parts from all over the place. Trani from an 89, motor from a rebuild shop out west, carb from a donor mustang, Auto Zoo parts here and there, aftermarket catalog interior and top parts that were probably made in Indonesia. The list goes on.
Our 99 Montana I just call the space shuttle. It's a child hauler.
Theft deterrents....I still prefer the grounded battery and a good warning sign. The thief will only touch your car once!

My 86 GN never had a name, was just the GN or the Buick. My 87 was nicknamed Evil, mainly to carry on the tradition of EVIL GN on the tag, plus it wasn't all that slow either.. :biggrin: . The current Turbo T is Ol Gray...she has a bunch of miles on her (175K), still dependable, and is a factory gray/WO2 trim car. She was a DD for a while, but now that I have my truck, she's down to weekend warrior/playtoy status.
