Car Talk (again)

[madbaker]

We've been looking more seriously into replacing the Saturn. So, rather than describe that process, I thought I'd sate some idle curiosity with a poll.
[Poll #467916]What I'm reading: Weber / Ringo, We Few

I was ~so~ going to name my Prius. But, alas, I didn't get it. So the name is still just sitting there. Waiting. Patiently. Or not patiently, as the case may be. *g*

My gold Ford Focus is named the Golden Hind, cuz she's...um...gold. And she has a big butt. And the person driving her sometimes plays at being a pirate and, hey, depending on your POV (and nationality) the Golden Hind could be considered a...

...and besides, she sailed off CA, so...

Unfortunately, it got shortened to "Hiney"!

As in, "Boy, your hiney's lookin' shiny today!"

LOL!

And yes, Goldenstag, I know "Hind" is "deer" and not butt. But...

Wasn't gonna say a thing. <g>

And the devil take the hindmost!

I almost voted the illogical statement since I just don't assign personalities to cars, but then...

..my first car was the Ghbeishmobile...

..my second was just a car although I pondered a name and sometimes called it Bonnie (because it was a Bonneville)...

..my third car was Forest and I miss him and shouldn't have traded him in..

..my fourth (and current) is just a cool old car I wanted and needs lots of care, but is FUN to drive. I call it the SVX, but then, that's what the manufacturer called it too. But then, it's a rare car, so maybe it doesn't need a name.

..and my current truck.. well she's Alice. Dunno why, but when we acquired her, it was obvious, perhaps because shes a 37 year old truck, but hey...

..oddly, the motorcycle never got a name, it's just reliable and old also...

I currently own 3 vehicles (Alice is my wife's and mine and she has her own car) ..my newest vehicle? A 1992 Subaru SVX. The next newest is my 1983 Honda Magna, and the oldest is Alice, that sweetheart, a 1968 Chevy 4x4 CST. She needs new rubber. *ahem* *snif*

..you know, for a guy who's not emotional about his cars...

Your wife is nuts and names just about everything she owns. The car is Muffy and hell even my wedding dress was called Elizabeth-she was a comanding force and desersed such a name!

Nope. Don't see an entry there.

The vehicles tell me their name, but sometimes the names don't stick. The van is CB (CoyoteBlue) and the black sedan is Hamish.

And can I borrow _We Few_ when you're done?

I borrowed it from the Santa Clara Library, so if you have a card from them, it's back on the shelves...
