You guys have probably seen enough of Charlie, so here is a picture snapped by yours truly of my stepdad's 2013 Dodge Challenger SRT. His name is Vader

Challengers are one of the best looking cars on the road.  One of the few cars that can pull off just about every color.  It especially looks good in Orange and Purple. It is the only modern car that can looks good in lime green.

...I don't like it.  :(

It looks like one of those flat fish things with the mouth and the eyes and it's staring at me.  :-\

I drive one of these, a black Volkswagen Fox:

I think a yellow or an orange CrossFox is cuter. Or just about any colour.  :tellmemore:

Nice truck Solidsquid! Looks like our work truck only ours is a dually. I had to wash, wax, and clean the inside. It took two days.

The Asmo's cars have names, yes.

The Buick was King Bruce George III. The Acura is Gunhilde. The Toyota... well, she was special and I still tear up a bit when I say her name.

I had a Fiat Palio and named it Palio, because I'm unoriginal like that.  :P

I don't name my cars, but someone I know named one of his cars: My White Dove, and the other one: My Lilac.

The dark blue Plymouth Reliant I had in the 80s was The Dark Sedan, after The Residents' song. I named a light blue Chevy Malibu coupe I had in the 90s Elton Flyingcloud. The ancient little beater of a Toyota pickup I have now doesn't have a name yet.



QuoteI'm the man in the dark sedan
I have come to take your hand
I was sent down here to be sincere, truthful and steadfast
I came to say that judgement day of man has come to pass

I'm the man in the dark sedan
I have come to take your hand
You can follow me and I guarantee to take you far away
But we must leave before the eve of everlasting gray

I'm the man in the dark sedan
I have come to take your hand
You will leave this place and soon replace the names of those you know
With a brotherhood that's withstood the leeches and the snow

I have taken to thinking of my current ride as Big Bertha. Cause compared to my first ride, The Red Lady, she is a beast.

Sounds like our pickup truck, Boss Hogg, which I just found out recently is older than I am.

My Honda Element is "Aussie Bus" because it is often used to haul the dogs around. Australian shepherds.  It was part of the time, the "Berner Bus" when I had Teddy my beloved Bernese mountain dog.

Do  boat names count? My small sailboat is named Goldilocks. She is neither too small nor too large, she is just right. The boat before her was Moondog, before that there was Sandspur, and a long time ago, I was a competitive sailor in the Laser class. Those boats demand athletic capacity in the extreme. That boat was named Torture Rack. An even longer time ago when I was a hydroplane racer, One of the boats was named Arpeggio. Something about the sound that it made when accelerating out of a corner.

I cannot imagine that Rec drives a Toyota "beater" truck. Some how that does not fit my image of the vehicle that our uncontested champion of esotericism would drive. I'd think a Bentley or perhaps an Aston Martin.

I got to see a classic Mini in real life for the first time the other day. Bonus points because it was the same color as Charlie. It was so damn cute and I wanted to take it home so bad. That little car made my MINI look big.
