I need a name for my VX. Help?

[Breezy]

I gotta name it. I just don't know what. I saw someone's plates that read "BMBLE V." I love that! But it's taken. Yellow Jacket is long and doesn't fit. Proton is just to simple. I don't like Proty or Proto. Anyone have any suggestions for a sweet proton name? I go to school in the UP of Michigan so the VX will spend tons of time in the snow...I'm just not super creative when it comes to this stuff. But I can't just keep referring to it as "my car" or "the vx" or "that bug-eyed yellow thing you saw when you pulled into parking lot" .....

Suggestions anyone????????? :)

[vt_maverick]

Lil' Veezy :D

[RabidPony]

Queen V

[tom4bren]

Kilr-b

[Breezy]

Hahaha I'm loving this. I hope it doesn't stop for a while. I like what I have to chose from so far! I think Kilr-B is winning though! Haha

[JoFotoz]

Snow P...or..Snow V

:p

[Kona-Vs]

DaBee :grino:

[samneil2000]

snwtaxi or snotaxi (snow taxi)

[Etfren]

I like the "bug eyed yellow thing", but that is a little long I suppose.

[VXjunky]

is seven letters and or numbers the norm on all US plates?

[rsteinmetz70112]

My state allows up 8 characters.

Other States may have different rules.

[Breezy]

I am not asking for a "plate" name lol. Just something to call her. Btw I got my Zeon LTZ 285/60/18s on today! This thing looks like a tonka! But I think someone took that name already too :/

[Triathlete]

I think you just answered your own ??? in your last post..."THING" :D

[Breezy]

I'm not sure Thing is manly-rugged enough lol. SnowV and SnowTaxi are kinda sweet too. Ugh. This is not easy.

[BeeVenom]

I had a 'BEEVENM' vanity plate on my proton for a number of years. Don't have that plate anymore. scott

[TexVeX]

I'm just weird like this, but I am liking "Orion" because Proton makes me think star and thus Orion.
Plus I love the instrumental, Orion, by Metallica. Would make a great musical backdrop for off-road VX trail riding.

[JoFotoz]

OH well in that case...

...bring it to the Stoop in May.

Of an evening, after a medicinal libation or two..
.....you'll get a name for it right quick!!

That's how mine got hers!!

:dance:

[JoFotoz]

Nice choice, BUT...

How bout "Chiquita" :) :dan_ban:

[Breezy]

Whats a stoop?

[TexVeX]

LOL @ Ebenezr.
Nice one Jo. Guess I'm not so weird.

Well then, All I have left is weirderness. Is there even such a word? Probably when describing me, lol.

http://www.behindthename.com/name/aurelius

I dunno though if Aurelius is manly or cool by today's judgement.
But I am sure it was then.
That actually was my first idea, but I shoved it aside trying to find something more in line with today's standards.


And to clarify why Proton makes me think star, might be obvious though, Proton - neutron - star.

[JoFotoz]

Well..


Whats a stoop?

...its a place in Moab of ill repute that by its shear magnificence, stunning decor, post modern architecture and free ice....
... draws VX and other assorted Isuzu owners from all points of the compass during the month of May, somewhere between the 12th and 20th.

Medicinal alcohol is known to be served, stories are told..wrenches are ....wrenched!

All of this nocturnal activity is justified by beating our vehicles up on the trails on a daily basis.

ITS A BLAST!!!

:_steering:_beer::_steering

jo

[TexVeX]

While we are on the subject of naming a vehicle, I hope you don't mind, Breezy, if i ask how you all decide whether your vehicle is a him or a her?
Mine was an "it" or "the truck" till after my wreck when I named it "Humpty". Now I think its a him.

[Breezy]

I don't participate in alcohol related things though...Sorry :)

[samneil2000]

I call mine Apocalypse, and sometimes zombie killer...

[JoFotoz]

No problem, others dont either....


I don't participate in alcohol related things though...Sorry :)

...and the booze part is ONLY on the STOOP....NOT on the trails...

......and of course its strictly voluntary :thumbup:

jo

(Scratching head...was Breezy being Sarcastic...I dunno..maybe!
But come either way!)

[Ebenezr]

Its OK Breezy...leave it to this foto guy to photoshop this guy into the bed. ha ha ha.

[Breezy]

I was not being sarcastic. But I doubt I'll ever find my way out to Moab until after graduation. So give me 3 or 4 years to graduate and get a job. Then perhaps lol.

[Mile High VX]

I would go with Hodag...:yesb::yesgray::yesy::yeso:

[JoFotoz]

Au Contraire, mon ami Ebenezer...


Its OK Breezy...leave it to this foto guy to photoshop this guy into the bed. ha ha ha.

...thats not photoshop.

Its a full size cardboard cut out...
I left it as a surprise/gift for the girls that clean the rooms.

They are super cool/good to us, and they fell in love
with it/him earlier in the week...:cool:

[Breezy]

Yo Mile High.....How do you know about the Hodag thing........? What do you know about the Hodag?

[Mile High VX]

Yo Mile High.....How do you know about the Hodag thing........? What do you know about the Hodag?

Been up your way a few times for business...you hear things and see the name...

You could also go with Triple F (Friday Fish Fry)...

Keep the Faith Breezy.

[Breezy]

Well okay then lol. But I'm from Tennessee. I moved to Rhinelander just like a little less than 4 years ago. I'm southern boy though :) I take no claim to the "hodag"

Cardboard??? that is even funnier. Cardboard takes great skill..even being onsite. Anybody can photoshop these days. :)

[Breezy]

What do yall think of SNOTON perhaps? Or what about SHOCKTROCITY? Hahahahaha. SHOCKWAVE?

[VXjunky]

[Cobrajet]

What do yall think of SNOTON perhaps?.

Has your VX been SNOT ON? That's sick! (yeah, I know SNOW--PROTON)


Notorp?

Look backwards :)
I talked my daughter into using GUBENUJ on her VW Beetle years ago because JUNEBUG was taken. Very few ever figured it out. :_confused

[Triathlete]

Most have trouble with my plates too...I don't know why? :D

Well I don't know Breeze thats a little reVOLTing to me. You need to find a name that is CURRENT. WATT do you need a name for anyway? Well its Sunday morning and I have to get off the comp because I AMP going to church. I find the Word of God to be reJOULEvenating to my inner most being. :yesy:

[Scott Larson]

Oh boooy...:p

[Breezy]

You are a man of faith too, eh? Hahahahahaha that was great.

[Ebenezr]

You are a man of faith too, eh? Hahahahahaha that was great.

Oh Yes. He gives us POWER. AC and DC.

[Ebenezr]

While I'm thinking of it did you all remember to set your clocks back last night from about 2:20 to 1:20....... ( :bwgy: )

[Triathlete]

Nope...never do. Same time year round here :)

[Ebenezr]

Count your blessings. I'm not happy with this tradition of spring forward and fall back.

[Breezy]

I'm still loving the electrical puns. Got more? Hahaha I'ma start pullin these out on people at work lol.

[Ebenezr]

I'm still loving the electrical puns. Got more? Hahaha I'ma start pullin these out on people at work lol.

Oh yes. Take any electrical terminology. I think some of these others belong to a different CIRCUIT. Didn't you expect alittle more RESISTANCE from everyone considering our POTENTIAL DIFFERENCES. I thought someone would SWITCH the subject. Boy your really gettin WIRED over this name thing.....

[Ebenezr]

Ok Ok Ohm going.

[tom4bren]

Hahahahahahahaha! I feel dumb.

Don't.

An EE from TN ... it's expected.

WooHoo, UTK class of '83 (BSEE).

Kinda dated but how 'bout MULTIVIBRATOR (of the 555 variety - it's a EE thang, most of you won't understand). That was the name of our softball team in college.

[Breezy]

CrossCheck. That's what I'm going with I think.

It's a VehiCROSS. And Christ died on the CROSS for my sins. And a crosscheck is a pretty aggressive move (hockey, other sports...). And it will serve as a reminder to me to check if I am carrying my CROSS as I should be daily.

Luke 9:23
"And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me."

I am happy with this...CROSSCHECK :)

[tom4bren]

And it'll remind you to CHECK your oil.

[Breezy]

Speaking of such, I should prolly get that done before traveling to TN for Thanksgiving. Should I have it switched over to synthetic? Is it worth it? Engine and tranny are both around 70k-75k miles.

[Ldub]

yes it is:

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y40/BigSwede/Moab%202010/IMGP0195.jpg

I'm start'n to think that this pic gives VXR a little tingle in the naughty bits...:laughing:

After posting it five or six times, I believe it's a qualified obsession...:yesgray:

[tom4bren]

HMMM!!!

Maybe we should submit it to Toby Kieth for his album cover (red solo cup).

[Breezy]

I fail to see the relationship of that picture to synthetic oil.:_confused

[VXR]

I'm start'n to think that this pic gives me a little tingle in the naughty bits...:laughing:



Yikes gross;puke2;

[TexVeX]

Its ok Breezy, people who are indulging in that much ice cream and alcohol can see relevance in anything. I should know. heheh
Wish I could answer your question on the oil, but I know nada. Try advanced search options perhaps. good luck. :)

[Scott Larson]

Can you say "AMSOIL"? I knew you could! Use it in all your moving-around-bits...:yeso: you'll be glad you did!

[Ldub]

Can you say "AMSOIL"? I knew you could! Use it in all your moving-around-bits...:yeso: you'll be glad you did!

X a factor of 2...:thumbup:.:yesgray:

[Ldub]

Yikes gross;puke2;

You're the one with the obsession...:laughing:

You comin' to Moab in the spring?...:naughty:

Mebbe me & Jo will let you join us on the stoop for fun & frivolity...:yesgray:

[Mile High VX]

Speaking of such, I should prolly get that done before traveling to TN for Thanksgiving. Should I have it switched over to synthetic? Is it worth it? Engine and tranny are both around 70k-75k miles.

Short answer...YES!

I have used Amsoil and Mobil 1 in my vehicles and have good results with both. I like the Mobil 1 simply because I can pick it up when I need it and don't need to worry about ordering it online. Most have their preference and their reasons why, but a good synthetic will be your friend. I have synthetic in my VX in the crankcase, the transmission, and the front and rear diff.

[Scott Larson]

I only suggest AMSOIL because, not only have I used it since '76, I have been a dealer since '79. I would stake my LIFE on it!!:yesy: Yup, I'm that serious about it...

[VXR]

You comin' to Moab in the spring

wish I could:yesb:

started a new job this year and apparently companies don't like to give out much vacation time these days:(

[VXR]

Should I have it switched over to synthetic? Is it worth it? Engine and tranny are both around 70k-75k miles.

I have Mobil 1 in both 5w30 and ATF...
