This?
I think the one in my head was a cartoon one, but that one actually sums it up even better!
mkay...my bad. It's an Ultima.
you made me go look. Good thing, too, because the door to the garage wasn't completely shut, and the overhead door was open, so Mel was out exploring. Molly & Milo stayed inside where it's warm. Now excuse me while I go find Cricket. She's probably still inside; she usually doesn't come out of hiding until company has been gone for several hours.
When I sold my old rusty bucket '72 Nova college car in 1982 for $350 I feel some nostalgia even though I hated that car for most of the 135K miles I put on it. The guy throw in a small bag of grass in the deal and I felt better about the whole thing.
The Nova was the only car I've owned that had a name, well, in this case names. It went by many names, "Cold Blooded Piece of ****"; "Conqueror of the Minnesota Winter, Lord of the Road and Life Car" (obscure Adi Amin reference from back in the day*); "The Mother Ship"; and "La Bamba".
* Amin had declared himself: His Excellency President for Life Field Marshal Al Hadji Dr. Idi Amin, VC, DSO, MC, King of Scotland Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Sea and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular
My experience is no matter how ****** a car is, you always miss it because it was your piece of ****.
It's bothering me a little that none of my current cars have names. My main ride, the A4 Quattro should have name. I call it Studio Audi because it's like a mobile rock studio on longer roadtrips but that's not personal like KC's Elmer or the Brad in the Liberty Mutual commercial.
Help name the Audi! 2006 image, car looks just as good, me today in 2014 not so much.

Nice to know I'm not the only one who gets attached to and/or names their cars.
This is the car I had for seven years before her rockers rusted through. Meet Baby, Elmer's predecessor:

Rust and '70 and '80s vintage Japanese cars? :shocked:
Rust also ate the body and frame of my Datsun 280Z. Had the frame patched and keep driving it until it was for sale as a $900 mobile. My '88 Accord also dissolved to Minnesota salt and I donated it to charity after mechanic said "Don't hit railroad track crossings too hard with this car". Now driving rustless German mobiles with galvanized bodies.
Osirian service robots. I am SO bored today. :wideeyed:

House coming back alive after afternoon rest time. Little one was sleeping, mom took a nap while 4 YO and I watched a show about air force one (we've seen it before, but nothing good on). I love the question and answer sessions when he is learning. When mom woke up he told her all about how the plane had a kitchen in it and the president ate dinner in the plane because he was busy working, and they drove a car in the back of the plane (a C130 cargo, not AF1) so the president had his own car to drive when they flew to Africa. Mom and boys frosting sugar cookies now. Good day (although the cookie project hasn't been without it's meltdowns...mom and kids both)
Can we just call these threads what they really are : Girls gone not wild.
I feel like I'm constantly in the middle of one of those mysterious girls all go to bathroom at the same time things.
But hey gotta see what going on everywhere I guess. Carry on.
