And here's your theme song...My Jeep's name is the same thing people call me, so I put it on the license plate.View attachment 174957
Jeep names: What are your names and how did you decide?
- Thread starter Show48
- Start date
I have never named a vehicle until this one. The name comes from the test drive before I bought it. My son was driving, I was in the passenger, and the guy selling it was in the back seat. The rear carrier was trashed (LS gears were nearly gone) so it would barely move forward and wouldn't turn easily. My son was complaining about it when the guy in the back seat said "Fuck It, Drive It!". Those words had stuck so FIDI it is! It still lives up to its name since that's typically the way I drive it.
When my older sister got her first car when she just graduated it was a little red KIA Rio that she named "Archie". Years later she replaced it with a blue Mazda 3 and named it "Reggie". My Dad decided to name his BMW station wagon "Betty" and his 30th year edition MX5 "Veronica".
After trying to figure out a name for the last few years I decided to follow the theme and with that, my Jeep has been named "Moose".

Never thought to name my Jeep. But the more I think about it...I love the idea. I’m thinking Craic (pronounced crack 
) since it means fun, being with friends, etc, in Irish, which is my heritage.

And plus you'll spend as much money on it as you would on crack.
This is Betty Blue named, for obvious reasons, by my wife (girlfriend at the time). IIRC we were heavy into watching the TV show The Unit at the time. She got her name from the callsign of one of the Delta Force operators on the show. I guess it just kinda stuck...
Seriously though!
I totally get the reference, nothing like a bit of Craic at the pub to lift your spirits! You'll be happy as Larry in no time!Never thought to name my Jeep. But the more I think about it...I love the idea. I’m thinking Craic (pronounced crack

"Rusty"
She's really not that bad, frame is very good, body is decent, but it's stuff like this that earned her the name.

I always seem to have a bunch of projects going on... I call this one "Project 47". (47 is the atomic number of silver)
We named my buddies TJ, Turtle
Since its green and we had to help it back on its feet

Picked Chili up on April 1st when the Temps hovered around freezing. Took the windows out to soon so he became known as Chili. Purchased a 21 Gladiator Willys he became known as Mr. Willy. Our going to Church ride is a Grand Cherokee that's just the Jeep

How classy. So when you're driving your TJ alone...
Mine started as "the ebay TJ" because it's a budget build and I was using ebay a lot. Recently, my wife said "you keep buying used parts, clearance parts, and open box items. Do you ever buy anything new?" Since it's shaped like a box and I'm always looking for a deal, I changed the name to "bargain box".
