Awkward Arguments

I Love Smarties, but I haven't had any in quite a while.

I named all my cars but do you think I can remember any before like 2000...lol...The car I bought that year was a Nissan Maxima so I called him Max...lol...(I always think of my cars as a "he", as men think of their vehicles as" she"...then I leased two Rogues and now I own one and they are all "Rogue", because it fits and I like it...I know this name could be either gender, but it is a he for me. My very first car was a 1970 Chevy Impala, an ugly olive green...lol...I think I referred to him as "IMP"...Also I think my Ford Escort was "Ken", the rest I just don't remember.

I have shopped at consignment stores, they are fun and you can get really good deals...got a lot of collectible toys and clothes from them

I've had oodles of cars over the years, but not all of them have had names. My first was "Old Betsy," a 1951 International Pickup. She came with that name though. Then I had a 1973 Mercury Montego that we called "The Whale" because it was so huge and cornered like a tuna trawler, followed by a few that never revealed their names to me except one that is unprintable. In the late 80's I had a 3/4 ton Ford Factory High-boy pickup that was just "The Big Green Ford," but it was never really mine. About that time I bought a 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon in DOT orange. It got named "The Heinous Pumpkin." (It was a great car, but ugly.) Then in the early 90's I had a diesel VW Rabbit named "Stinky" because it smoked so bad. I had a couple more unremarkable rides before I bought a 1969 Ford Galaxy 500 from my great uncle, in faded fire engine red. It only lasted a year or so and was named "Big Red." About that time we bought our little Ford Festiva, which earned the moniker "Little Beep" for the sound of its horn. That was an amazing car. I drove it for years and YEARS and years until I finally sold it and bought my Scion xA which never had a name. I beat the hell out of that little car, finally sold it, and bought my Maverick. I've been trying out "Jade" for the Maverick due to its color, but it hasn't stuck yet.

No name for the car, but I do pat her on the trunk as I'm coming around to get in. She's been a faithful old girl
