How do you name your Land Cruiser

[Marinna]

Hi everyone. I have a few ideas but havn't officially decided how to name my LC J250. I am interested to know how you name your new adorable baby LC

“Truck”. Appropriate given everything else in the garage

I don’t. If I had an fe or 1958 though, I would name it Herbie and paint the number 53 on the hood.

 

[LandcruiserNut]

I got the underground with dark wheels,and black leather. We’ve name it “Spock”. k

 

[DaChronisseur]

We don't just name every Land Cruiser Elsie? That's news to me.

So, in my family we totally name every car and when I share that with friends they think it’s weird.. .. have named every car since I was 15 (tomato) to my latest LC aka “RedLand”

Simple,.. I asked her.. She replied, “Miss Daisy”.

We give everything a nickname. This LC got the nickname Space Car by my wife because of all the funny noises it makes. I also refer to all my vehicles as she and her. Didn't realize it until someone pointed it out to me.

It usually just comes to me by how they make me feel after a few drives.

Pictured below are "Lil Beast", "Beast", and "Write Off".

Though to tell the gender right off the bat? I had an FJ60 that started to piss gas to mark its territory, so I knew then... it was a boy!

Hippo - its big and has the coloring - in certain light. lol

 

[MudNGuts]

I usually name my adventure vehicles. The LC has been christened "the Ogre" because it's a beast (already used that one on an earlier apocalypse 4x4 Sportsmobile van) and the Trail Dust color is so similar to a 1970's color called "Ochre".

Should I be worried if I’ve started to refer to my LC as “My Precious”?

 

[PinkMyst]

I call it "Stealth Cruiser".

I have a 1st Edition in the meteor color and I named it Bender because with the color and the round headlights it kinda looks like Bender from Futurama.

 

[Smokester]

So far it's just The Beast. But I am required to follow my daughters' suggestions for naming and I am outvoted 2-0 on every car. They haven't ridden in it yet.

It will be a boy.

Mine is Rocinante, the name Cervantes gave to Don Quixote's horse. (That doesn't make me Don Quixote, does it?)

But unlike Don Quixote's horse, my LC isn't skinny, awkward, past its prime or ill-suited for its activities. And like Don Q, I plan to have many exciting adventures with the old nag.

 

[FarooqMCSE]

I have an LC LC; so I named it Landy.

Betty, short for Betty Rubble which seemed fitting given the colors and off-road capabilities.
