But only 'cause you helped Prezz.

"Cabin Cruiser" Thanks!
"Old Blue" because you said that "Wart Wagon" was disrespectful, and "That Van just isn't that ugly..." Apparently, gauging from other Driver's reactions around here, it might be "Scary Ugly"
"Who New? Blue" Due to the Church Lady who drove it while working there taking care of the young Unwed Mothers back in the day.

I am going to keep the name because my wife says I spend as much time with her (my van) as I do with her (my wife)!

We call the '93 Shorty the Shorty. And we call the '95 blue Chevy the blue Chevy. OH, you'd never guess but we call our old Ford the old Ford......  | | |  Re: Van Names | Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 104 member | | member Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 104 | My van pretty much named itself. On the first nice sunny day we had after purchasing it (as I was sitting inside soaking up the “van-ness” of it), I noticed the color scheme reminded me of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. The van also gave of a definite male vibe, so I called it Mr. Reese. Pretty simple actually. ![[Linked Image]]( http://www.montecarlo-restoration.com/ourfleet/overheadconsole.jpg) ![[Linked Image]]( http://www.montecarlo-restoration.com/ourfleet/openslider.jpg) | | | Re: Van Names | Joined: Nov 2013 Posts: 3,692 Likes: 32 pooh-bah | | pooh-bah Joined: Nov 2013 Posts: 3,692 Likes: 32 | My van pretty much named itself.

My wife had a blue Fiat 500 that I called "The Little Shit" because it was so "scrappy". One time, I jokingly called my van the Stay Puft Marshmallow Van and it kind of stuck. | | |
