van names

I love all the names...i, too have always named my vehicles. My '95 Aerostar is called "The Van Cliburn" (in honor of Van Cliburn, a young pianist from Dallas that shocked the world in the 60's when he whipped the Europeans in the most-famous Tchaikovsky piano competition and put Dallas, and America on the map as a world class musical power). My '89 Bronco: "Bronco Billy". My '83 diesel Cutlass: "The Gutless (no ooomph). My white '79 flat-nose Cutlass: "The Leche" (spanish for "the milk"), my '76 Nova: "Consuelo the Thunder Chicken". And my first car was a HUGE Ford LTD wagon..."The Battleship Texas".
But regarding my van...with the problems I'm having right now... I'm calling it the "...what the...?"

I couldn't think of what creature the front end resembled on the 93-up Aerostar. Thanks! I prefer the Ford emblem in the middle of the grille.

My sister nicknamed my van "The Toaster". It does resemble a toaster. Of course, she also nicknamed my Focus "The Egg", which is true as well ( It's a white ZX3 hatchback.)
