I always just referred to mine as "the Runner" or "momma's grocery gitter" or "the family hauler" but once i started getting obsessed AGAIN with mods after the rebuild she became "MODZILLA"

I call mine "Bev" after an old girlfriend who thought she was tougher than she really was (she would drink too much and pick fights with much tougher girls!). This from driving with a full load in the mountains with my "3.slow" and getting passed by tractor trailers on grades! But dang, she was good looking, and in my eyes she could do (almost) no wrong!

I haven't named my 4Runner.
But I named my 1978 F-250 "Big Bertha" because its big, strong, loud, noisy and eats a lot of gas!
My Celica has got the name "lil Bi*ch" because I have put so much $ into it to get it running right!

Oh man, a 78, they don't make them like that anymore! Hold on to Bertha (or sell her to me)!

Mine's named Roxanne.....
The girlfriend said I had to name the ride. I had no clue what to name it, and Roxanne (by The Police) was on the radio and she said to name it Roxanne jokeingly. Well, it stuck....so now she's Roxanne (after the prostitute, HAAA!)

man, i hope you guys realized i was joking when i said i call my 2002 toyota 4runner sr5 sport edition 4wd 3.4 v6 the "2002 toyota 4runner sr5 sport edition 4wd 3.4 v6" every time. that'd be a bit much. sure i could shorten it to "2002 toyota 4runner sr5 sport edition 4wd 3.4" but then that just leaves the listener guessing. anyway, enough about my 2002 toyota 4runner sr5 sport edition 4wd 3.4 v6.

Dude I checked out your web page. Lumpy is one lucky Rig. Your devotion is truly inspirational. I admire your restraint for not taking the sort of action against your friend that wrecked it and would have landed you in jail and him in the morgue.
My compliments!!

Thanks, Well it's either wait and get paid for the damages from him or beat the crap out him which I would probably get nothing and end up paying him for beating him up.
It's funny I talked to someone who knows him he was talking trash like he thinks he shouldn't pay me anymore for damages he did to it because he thinks it's just a trail rig... Ya regardless it still is my daily driver and it wasn't beat up like that until he borrowed it. He would be PO'ed if I did the same crap to his truck which he claims is a trail rig at least he has 2 cars so he doesn't daily his truck.
Anyways I could rant on and on about it but it's worthless to do so.
Either way he is gonna learn his lesson the hard way for screwing stuff up that doesn't belong to him.

About a few days later I noticed my letters on the license plate spell "RAZ." So the "RazMobile" has just stuck with my friends, even though I think it's pretty dumb. I just call it my car.
If I EVER call it my truck my girlfriend screams at me..."It's not a truck! It's and SUV!"
