Called my wife's Tacoma "The Taco". She hated that. Wish it was pink. ;)

Call my father's Excursion the "Incursion".

had the mustard cup, a 70-something ford fiesta

the grey ghost, my 1st car, a 66 plymouth fury in battle ship flat gray (not primer), a black vynil top and a 383. the big back seat also had it known as the stabbin-cabin fer a spell.

ditto on the tacoma taco, mine was white not pink though..

Wife's Subaru Liberty Wagon was always referred to as the Bus. Kids caught the bus to school etc. ("You are a bus" is Subaru backwards).
