Well, I dunno bout you *not* being crazy... I mean, compared to me??? I'm not exactly known for being quiet and reserved. I hardly back down from a dare and my friends call me Fearless. Crazy? Uh, yeah, I'll settle for that!

Knocker - Used 8 qrts of oil to go 585 miles, was knocking hard (a main) when I finally pulled into the driveway. Needless to say I got screwed on the purchase price.



Not a third gen, but a few years ago I had a '73 datsun 240Z...

No... nor do I name my firearms. Although a friend of mine used to call her V6 Camaro "Sissy," which I thought was apt.

Well in my case it depends on how many times I smashed my finger or hand, cut my finger hand or arm, burnt the crap of said body parts, so.... here are the name(s) for my cars, piece of s--t, mother f-----r, son of a b---h, c--k sucker, horse's ***. Some times mixed up in different combinations and if it really hurts it is all of them.

My wife names them all, the cars usually get “stripper” or “other woman” type names.
83 TA- Veronica
97 WS6 TA- Jessica
87 Formula 350- Cassandra
87 TA- Cherry (She’s burgundy with a red interior, that just came home last weekend, she named her before I even made a deal on her)

The truck… Babe the blue truck/ox

I don't have a name for my Firebird, but my mom calls my Berlinetta "Garage hog". Mainly because when I pulled the engine, I got a priority garage spot over her 96 Camaro. I usually call the 86 "Berly" though.
