OK, I guess I do have sime vehicles with names. My 1976 LT35 is called "The
Big Green Monster". It's green ovbiously and very big.
The 1988 Doka is called "The Smuggler Truck" because it was as used by the
previous owner. The GF's 2000 model VW Routan goes
by "Beanie Van" because of what it normally carries. 84 GL is called
"Subievan" because of it's turbo powertrain. The rest go by a gebneric
version of their brand name. Ya know "The Syncro" for the Syncro 16 Doka
even thought I have other Syncros. The 911SC is "The Ruf" that is what it
is. As the "The Bowler" for the Landrover Tomcat.

Nice to know Karl Wolz is still alive and posting.
