My van's name is SIMBA, named after a film about a big lumbering African lion. --------------------- Clip ----------------------- OK it's Friday you've sucked me into your little trap. I've never named but one vehicle and I don't intend to name any more. The one car that I named was a 68/69?? Chevrolet, I think it was the last year of the BelAire series (I know you'll correct me on that). We called the Chevy the "White Rabbit" the reasoning behind that was the six cylinder engine and power glide transmission she sported. It was a very dependable, economical and overall generic car. I was single at the time but it would have been a great car if you wanted to chip on your wife .......... seems every rental car was the same brand, color and had 4 doors at that time in the US. I don't miss the "White Rabbit" it was just a universal vehicle for point A to B transportation. The White Rabbit was replaced with a Dodge van with no windows and although I never named it; "Just Awful" would have fit it exactly. Those with Wasserboxer are free to take the term "Just Awful" and use it as you see fit.
