Name Your Comanche

So, my lovely bride just asked the name of our new Jeep Thingy.

I assured her it was not a 'Thing'y. But, apparently, I need to name it.

 

Anyway, thought I'd check on the names used out there. Some clever posters on here, so lets have 'em. What'd'ya name your Jeep?

 

I have heard PJ - as in (PEE-J) = JEEP backwards...

1987 Comanche - 'The Farmer' Shortened from 'The Melon Farmer' because the PO bought it from a guy working on a watermelon farm.

1986 Comanche - 'The Diesel' For obvious reasons

1990 Comanche - 'The Rev' Because I bought it from a man of the cloth

1992 Comanche - 'The Unicorn' Only one in that package known to exist.

My teenaged sister gave mine a name the day I drove it home, but I don't remember what it was. Anthony, maybe...? I mostly remember being ticked at her for taking the liberty. I've never really thought that cars should get names... the people who build them already did that.

 

That being said, I've called mine Blurple a few times, because, well, it is...

Mine was originally "The Ugly Wife" because that's what my bride called it. I've since re-named it "Blood, Sweat and Tears".

Blood because of all the skinned knuckles and cuts. Sweat - well that's obvious if you own a Comanche. And Tears for the times you just want to cry out of frustration when you've fixed that darned widget five times and it still doesn't work right.

We all must be masochists!

What package might that be? :hmm:

 

It was a Hunter Green Metallic Green Eliminator. Hunter Green was only available in the Eliminator package as a mid/late build '92 order. Seeing as there were only 952 MJ's made from Jan 1 to end production in '92... Not many got made. The green one I had was the only one known to exist. That, and for a short period of time, the latest build date on Comanche Club.

86 is the 3800...has an buick 3800 in it.

87 was the war machine....i had great hopes for it before I sold it.

89 was pi, short for pioneer

 

90 eliminator I just called it what it was

90 "the rev" for a short time

86 "smokerl" because its a diesel

87 MT...you figure that out.

Bros 88 is Gordy....named after a reliable old family friend

My 99 I call "Null" because no matter what, its still going to end up a parts vehicle for an mj....its on borrowed time and I don't care if it knows it.

 

Ive had a few chiefs and other pioneers in there, that never got names becqause they were hitting the scrap heap.

My Eliminator doesnt have a name unless you consider Eliminator its name. Like Cody, usually I call it a worthless POS. I guess it needs a womans name since it takes away most of my time and all of my money.

 

The kids truck we named "Phoenix" because like the mythical bird, we are building a truck out of the ashes of two dead jeeps. Also the paint its going to get is similar to the color of said mythical bird (MangoTango).

 

Cars Ive named in the past as a kid:

1981 Chevy Citation. "The Silver Bullit" So named because it was a huge ugly steaming pile of crap (got it as punishment for killing my 86 Comanche when I was 16), but it was fast as could be. Fast enough that my friends said it would have outran Steve McQueen. I hated that car.

 

1982 Cadillac Coupe de Ville. "The Brewmobile" Named because it always seemed to pull beer hauling duty. Always had a ton of beer in the trunk on the weekends for parties.

 

There were more, but Ive rambled long enough.

Be careful with that! In the past, I've heard to many people saying, "he runs real good!" as compared to the flip side of, "she needs a little work".

Thats even more accurate than one might think! Kind of plastic surgery style. "She" could always use a little tuck here and a little lift there...
