Help me rename my car!
Well, I thought that calling my Buick "The Buick" was a bit too boring... I then changed it to "The Retro Eighties Flashback". Now I'm thinking like it sounds like a pun on hatchback, of which my Buick is more of an anti-hatchback. I'm open to any & all suggestions. I drive it conservatively, but I have no plans on any serious hypermiling as it is 27 years old and I don't want anything like neutral gliding or EOC to send me into the repair shop. The car is driven mostly for fun.

My wife named mine "Christine" when I first got it, because every time she got in it she hit her head on the way in...and I was spending a lot of time on it.
I don't think the "hatchback" issue is anything to be concerned about...if anyone else makes that connection, when they see what it is they'll just laugh. |
My friends (jokingly?) refer to my car as the "Buke" (because it sounds like "puke").
Try to avoid that one, I've never found it to be very flattering. At least until I remember that they are just jealous because my Buick is so awesome... -Bob C. |

I still think someone needs to call their car "Not your father's Oldsmobile". That would be so funny, but then again anyone under 25 probably wouldn't get the joke. -Jay |
I might have gone with "Chick Hicks" or "Thunder" or "Ka-chigga" or something along those lines.

I like "THE BIG WHITE HOOPTIE"
I see cars like that all the time with 26" rims and jacked up in the sky about a foot. |

Now I'm thinking of something that's somewhat original... How about... Regal Knievel ??? She's old, and battlescarred. Keeps coming back for more though... One of my sisters ran it into a ditch avoiding a dog. I loaned it to my other sister when her car was broken, and she rear-ended someone on the DC Beltway in it. I've been sideswiped by a Jeep. I've been rear-ended by a full size pickup (and the pickup was totaled with little damage to my car) And finally, years ago when I worked midnights I started to fall asleep on my way home a block away from home and ran over my neighbor's mailbox. I think I'm liking it, but I'm still open to suggestions. I also thought of The Beagle Regal as a play on the bar on Three's Company (The Regal Beagle) because she's so battlescarred and can be tempermental (yet still loyal) at times - You know like the car is a dog... -Jay |
