Butchershop Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 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...
huck731 Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 mine is named Jenifer. Yes that is spelled right and no it is not Jenny, or any other shortend term for Jenifer....now that I think about it I need to paint my truck red because I named it after the hottest redhead I ever k.new
ComancheKid45 Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 I have only named 2 of mine. Oscar, classic character who lived in a trash can.....since the paint job resembles that of a dumpster . Walker, In honor of the off road legend himself and the fame he gave the Comanche in the late 80s-early 90s .
huck731 Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 . ok.....who's the joker who put wheels on the dumpster Walker, In honor of the off road legend himself and the fame he gave the Comanche in the late 80s-early 90s . thats one B/A lookin' jeep there friend.
Automan2164 Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 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. Rob
gogmorgo Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 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...
Keyav8r Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 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!
cody4359 Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 i call both mine "stupid piece of sh it jeep"
banshee Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 i call both mine "stupid piece of sh it jeep" LOL
ftpiercecracker1 Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 1992 Comanche - 'The Unicorn' Only one in that package known to exist. Rob What package might that be? :hmm:
jpdriver1 Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 the 90 is Jenny and the 89 is snydley (as in snydley whiplash -- and yes there is a snydley toy on the dash :thumbsup: )
mvusse Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Wilbur (trail pig) and The Purple People Eater (daily driver). Also have "the van" (camper/tow rig) and Sparkles, my daughter's Cherokee. In the past: Da Bomb (84 Old 98) The Blue Bomb (1972/74/79/80/81 Ford F100, titled as a 79) "The Prizm" (1990 Geo Prizm) Bourbon (1994 Chevy Suburban) Booger (1994 Cherokee)
Automan2164 Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 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. Rob
neohic Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Seems as though the only vehicles of mine that I was naming were the ones that I ended up selling and regretted later. I stopped naming them... now I've got too many vehicles. :doh:
Dadinator Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Usually it's just the truck, but when my father-in-law owned it, he called it the old mule. I still call it that from time to time. Like above, I have called it all kinds of names in anger... :fs1:
Butchershop Posted November 13, 2012 Author Posted November 13, 2012 Usually it's just the truck, but when my father-in-law owned it, he called it the old mule. I still call it that from time to time. I like "old mule", but sometimes she calls me that.... :hmm:
JeepcoMJ Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 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.
Comanche_Fanatic Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 mines Franklin, cause its the plainest and lamest name i could think of, plus I got it from Franklin, NC Did u know, Franklin NC is one of those areas where gems and precious stones are found? I found mine for $500 :yes:
Backdraft Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 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.
87Warrior Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 The 92 is known as 'Rusty', although its not entirely accurate anymore. The 86 is simply known as 'Comanche' or 'Heavy Four'.
neohic Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 I guess it needs a womans name since it takes away most of my time and all of my money. 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".
Backdraft Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 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...
