Name the Behemoth

[cloudy]

What a grocery getter that is! The same thing happened to me, I asked for a Civic and got yet another Buick LeSabre. I think you should call it "Great White" *snerk*

I haven't figured out why I need a vehicle that seats 8 VERY comfortably when I only chauffer around 1 child.

Filling it up with groceries would cost more than we make in a year, I figure.

The reason for buying me a 4-wheel drive still eludes me.

It's not about what you needed....it's about what HE wanted.

Bingo.

But I'm the selfish one. Go figure.

If you ever have a blinding blizzard in Southern Cal you'll really apprecieate the 4 Wheel Drive, Cloudy

...and the tow hooks on the front. I should be able to make a lot of money pulling all those snowbound people out of ditches.

Face it, on the day you load the household effects and drive away- it will come in handy.
I ws going to say Moby Dick also, but I really like "The Exxon Valdiz"

True, that. It'll just cost me a fortune to drive away in.

"The tow hooks on the front are for winching yourself out of places you wouldn't have been stupid enough to get into if you didn't have four-wheel drive." -- my father when I bought my first 4WD.

That's for those insta-blizzards.

But (another silver lining) it's almost a Winnebago (minus running water).

I told Abs I could damn near live in the thing.

Just don't try to use a toaster oven through the cigarette lighter. (Trust me on this one.)

I have a new vehicle. I hate it.

I asked for something small, maybe an older Maxima. This is what I got:

http://www.truckshopper.com/NJ/4649t/photos/24cars06.jpg

It's over 6 feet tall (the hood reaches to nearly my shoulder), 4-wheel drive (why, I have no idea), and is 18 ft 4 inches long - turning circle, according to Edmunds is over 46 feet.

Abs calls it "The Titanic" - I'm taking other suggestions, as well.

Leviathon!

Throw a jug of water, sleeping bag, and a Port-a-Potty in the back and you're ready for anything.

Name-wise, for some reason, Bismark, appeals to me.

Wow, you could fit a small brothel in that thing.



Was that a suggestion? You tell me.



As for names... Big Bertha?

M1A1 Abrams.

It'll be useful when the quake comes.

In May of 1941 the war had just begun
The Germans had the biggest ship that had the biggest guns
The Bismarck was the fastest ship that ever sailed the sea
On her decks were guns as big as steers and shells as big as trees ....

In which case maybe a State would be appropriate.

Missouri, Texas...

Calling it "The great white whale" fits for a truck name, in my humble little opinion. I was going to add my vote for Moby Dick, but the descrption name just works for me, so I'm putting that.

 

[WARNINGWARNING]

"Moby"
or "Great White Whale" GWW

"Thunder Cloud"

"NimBUS"

 

[Xelebes]

Ack!

(if it was black, it would pass for one of those Secret Service-mobiles, but since it's white, it only looks like a drug kingpin's vehicle)

McCrack Attack?

 

[Guest]

Fifth vote for Moby Dick.

Big, white and belonging to a writer.

And Dick can be a reference to people who don't listen to their wives.

 

[OhMissScarlett]

True, that. It'll just cost me a fortune to drive away in.

Maybe that was the plan. "She won't be able to afford to get too far in this!"
