[Quicksilver]

- The 63 Chevy pickup I learned to drive in was "The old beater". If you had over 250k miles and head sized rust holes in the floorboards that had been fixed with fiberglass and chicken wire you might feel beaten too!

- The 72 Vega with the 3.5l aluminum V8 was "The little beggar". I can't for the life of me remember how it acquired the name.

- The beat-to-hell 76 Corolla (with the passenger side wheelbase an inch shorter then the drivers side!) was call "Aiders". When I got it it had a Raiders sticker on the back that was missing the "R". Some one looked at its ugliness and said "Ewww, it's got aiders".

- The 98 V70 Volvo wagon is called "New Vo". I really don't like it... The turbo doesn't make up for the fact it has an automatic and is front wheel drive. Bleh...

- The 87 740 Volvo wagon is called "Old Vo" or "The Tank" It is undestructable and has the advantage of a turbo with rear wheel drive. I think I will probably keep it instead of the 98 that we got to replace it. (I still having trouble dealing with an automatic...)

- The 93 Nissan pickup is quite inventively named "The Truck".

- The 87 Carrera is "The Pooch" because it is such a good boy. The name seems have the added benefit of pissing off a few of the "poorsha-or-die" crowd.
