2012 Wrangler Sport.

Things I already want to buy:

Grab handes

Rubber floor mats & cargo mat

Wheel locks (for the spare)

Window roll-up storage

Trailer hitch (surprisingly cheap)

Spare mirrors for when the doors come off

New speakers (Infinity system isn't terrible, but soundbar speakers could be better)

SO MUCH MORE......

Needs a good detailing (compound, clay, polish, etc), but that I can do myself. I've got a DA polisher from Harbor Freight and all the AMMONYC videos I can handle.

your car, your rules... but regarding car names I have 2 basic rules:

1. Cars don't need names

2. Cars CAN have names but they have to be given be others, never owner named.

I guess asking opoo is a good option if you must

Names can't be forced, they just happen. My family only ever named one vehicle: our '98 Suburban. It was simply dubbed "the beast" because the thing was virtually indestructible and took everything we threw at it...though when the moniker was attached is beyond me.

For some reason, it seems strange to me to give any car less than ~50 years old a name. Perhaps cars build since 1980 don't have enough personality...

I've never named any of my cars, but the oldest car I've ever owned was an '86.

I've had 6 cars and only 2 had names. The first was basically posthumous and the other is my current car. I didn't give it the name and I use it only rarely.

Please share.

We had a distant cousin from Germany visit as an exchange student and he and his friend named their old Plymouth(?) beater Rutiger (Rudy). That fit, for sure.

And my family named this one "das Langenwagen".

My first car that I owned outright was called "Yoda" on account that it was misshapen, green and taught me many things about how to handle and fix a car.

Kinja'd!!!

My current car was named by a former oppo member I haven't seen in ages - J. Walter Weatherman - "Bruce" because it has a distinct Aussie vibe and toughness.

PJ. Derived from "Peej" or Jeep backwards.

Bruce definitely fits. I may have jokingly referred to my car as "Daddy's Rocket Sled" before...

But when referring to them, my M3 is "the car" or "my car", and the Pathfinder is "the truck" (even though it's really not).

what year pathfinder? cause it might be a truck. I mostly refer to the cruiser as...well...the cruiser or "my truck"...which my wife hates because she insists its not a truck (it totally is)

'03 R50 = unibody

Our old '01 Xterra was a truck.

yeah, okay, I see your point.

I'm still going to call it "the truck" - ha!

Webster's okay with that, fwiw, as long as I occasionally haul stuff:

a wheeled vehicle for moving heavy articles: as

a : a strong horse-drawn or automotive vehicle (as a pickup) for hauling

b : a small barrow consisting of a rectangular frame having at one end a pair of handles and at the other end a pair of small heavy wheels and a projecting edge to slide under a load —called also hand truck

c : a small heavy rectangular frame supported on four wheels for moving heavy objects d : a small flat-topped car pushed or pulled by hand

e : a shelved stand mounted on casters

f : an automotive vehicle with a short chassis equipped with a swivel for attaching a trailer and used especially for the highway hauling of freight; also : a truck with attached trailer
