Car Guy, Twingo Tamer’s post got me thinking... Some cars names you can twist to reflect your feeling on it (usually bad). What are some you’ve heard/used/thought of? Doesn’t have to reflect your true feelings. I’ll start with CGTT’s, Shitroen. To that I can add PT Loser, Crapolla, Shitvic, Econowhine, Grand Crapavan, Outhouse, TheComa, and obviously Snuze and Slobalt :)

Your turn.

Fixed Old Recycled Dodge

Government Motors

But I was going more for twisted names than acronyms.

I used to refer to my buddy’s Hyundai Genesis as the “DeGenerate” because he had it boosted to almost 500HP and he beat that poor car within an inch of it’s life multiple times. At one point he hung a rod thru the block, so he returned it to stock, took it back to Hyundai and got a rebuilt shortblock all thanks to the “best warranty in America.”

My buddy calls Mitsubishis “Missing bits and pieces”, which I think is appropriate.

BMW Fünfhundert dreißig

Literally just 530 in German, but complicated, like German cars.

Victorious Secret/AJ had a Veloster and was calling it the Velociraptor. I was calling it the Molester.

I miss that guy.

We lovingly refer to my Camaro as the Fatmaro, and used to call my dad’s fox body either Musty or Rustang.

Also I’m a fan of Whalenger.

Forgot about this one. I always refer to them as “Mullet ‘Maros”

My mom had a poorly maintained 4cyl Eclipse Spyder and we call it the Shitsubishi.

I had a Cavalier. While Crapalier was common, my lovely girlfriend called mine “Cat-pissalier” because it always reeked of cat piss (even after disassembling the dash and deep cleaning all the ducting). I had no cat.

I tend to call ‘71-’73s Fatstangs. Affectionately, of course.

Missed that one... I've used that myself. My list already kind of makes me look like I've got a scat fetish though, so maybe it's a good thing.

I’ve heard them called “Pity Cruisers.”

I like that one better. :)

I like the new Boostang nickname for the EcoBoost Mustangs.

Also, Toyota Tacomas being called Tacos.

There’s a black fox body for sale near me that looks to be in pretty perfect condition (as far as I can tell just from driving by... ok, so the body work is still pristine, at least. Heh). I don’t even like fox body ‘stangs, but it just looks so immaculate! Every day I’m tempted to pull into the abandoned parking lot it’s parked in to see how much the seller wants.

“I had no cat.” That you knew of. Might have had a neighborhood stray that liked chilling in the warm engine compartment when you got home.

My dad used to drive an old Cutlass Supreme that we called the cat killer because every cat in the neighborhood seemed to be inexorably drawn to climbing up into the engine bay. Then my dad would start the car in the morning and.... yeah. Things did not always end well.

I've taken to calling F150's FISO's. As in associating them with Mitsubishi Fuso's.

In the UK we had the Vauxhall Cavalier, which despite being GM was not the same as the Chevy Cavalier. I call them Voe-hall sha-val-ee-ay in my finest British accent.

I’ve dealt with neighborhood cats before (Mazda 6 I had was unusually attractive to them), but not when I had the Cav...it was parked out back with a dog who would stalk and slaughter anything <40lbs with 4 legs. My guess is the PO had one who urinated everywhere and no amount of cleaning could get it out.

Or a ghost cat. Probably a ghost cat.

B4nx0rd (with his acknowledgment) for repeat misbehavior, I think. Largely trash-talking front page guests on their photography or something like. Abrasive guy, but usually fun to watch.

Eh. As far as I know, he’s still around on Photography. He’s one of our fellow mods there, though I can’t remember the last time he posted.

You ever want to take a gander over that way, feel free. If you’d like to be an author, let me know.

VS was banned on the FP at one point, I know for a fact. I think some of that spilled into Oppo and resulted in a ban or self-ban, but I don’t know the details. Anyway, I kind of miss the guy here. As to Photography - it’s weird but that’s probably the Kinja I find myself on posts of most often outside Oppo. More than the front page, more than Overland and Expedition. Mostly I’m there to drool at other people’s shots, and I haven’t been into the tech side of photography very much (which is weird for me), but I am somewhat of a composition whore.

Trying to find good wallpapers of this or that car is a process that drives me up the wall, because “out there” photography of *random* classics tends to suck amazingly. You know, stuff other than Ferraris or Concours stuff. Technically okay (focus, exposure, color), but absolutely useless as a shot from an artistic standpoint. Yes, you have an angle that shows most of the car... but it’s not the one that looks best... and you have stray bits of five other cars as clutter... and people detritus... and a background that doesn’t isolate the subject... and bland mix of colors in shot... and so on.

The trouble with normal car shows is that they put cars in an atmosphere that invites really, really shitty photos, and museums aren’t much better.

Saw this in your list today and wanted to see the origin. There was a girl I knew years ago, ditzy blonde type. Her boyfriend had a truck in the shop, and he wouldn’t be able to get there before it closed, so he asked her to go pickup the keys for it. So when she got there and the mechanic asked her what vehicle, she said “the Fiso” And the mechanic goes “wat?” And she goes “It’s a Ford Fiso, you know, a pickup?” So the guy is scratching his head, and finally she points out the window to his F-150 going “it’s that one, right there, the Ford Fiso!”
