Talking Stealership

Sorry if there are any typo errors but I am still laughing.
I was just reading a post and came upon a reply written by
AlfredB1979 in which he used the term "stealership".First time I heard that one,man Im still laughing.I was wondering if anybody had any more terms(other than the usual ones you hear everyday)?

Do you mean just "dealerships?" or other things as well?

For International, I've got "Intersmashable", "13 letter #$!@ spreader" and "Binder"

For Freightliner, there's "Fruitliner" or "Freightshaker"

I've got more, I just can't think of them right now.

My brother works for Peterbilt. He calls Intersmashables "Chicken Trucks".
At the stealership I work at we have names for a lot of the vehicles we work on. Some wouldn't be too suitable to post here
There would be the Mercury Mistake, The BowandAerostar, The BreakWindstar etc etc.

Actually I kinda take offense when people call it a stealership......we aren't all like that

Sorry Racerguy,I didn`t mean to offend anybody,and the last two dealerships that i have worked at here in Michigan would not deserve that title either. But that term sure made me laugh.

There is a Ford dealer that I know of that used to drag people over the coals on deals long ago. The name of that dealer rhymes with "Swindle Ford". Thankfully, the internet forced them to change their behavior.

I got another one.

For a Western Star "Constellation Class" it's a Falling Star Constipation Class.

Kenworth T2000 is a 2000 Rattles.

You forgot about the Spectrum, AKA the "Scrow-tum" or "Wrecked-um." (Hey, this is a family show, you know!)
