Absinthe Makes The Fart Go Honda
Conversation interlude
Me: You know your car? Tell me you’ve called it Harvey…
Wendy: Why?
Me: It’s an H-RV.
Wendy: Oh. But it’s an F-RV.
Me: Oh.
Wendy (hopefully): I could call it Farvey?
Me (with approval): Nice.
This ain't something else

It’s the little vignettes like these that make life so special.
Mine’s an SRV- Sarvey.

lolol love it!
I do something similar with license plates - my old car had KFE and I couldn’t help but think of it as ‘Keefy’ (Keith(y)!
My present one is NWL - Noel! *twitch*

I have never named a car..
I’m not in with the “IN” crowd huh?

HOWL!!!!!!!!!!!
(every car I’ve ever owned was given a name)

Wouldn’t ‘NOE’ be ‘No L’?

And I’ve got a C-RV, which would be Carvey.
I would call a SRV Stevie after the late blues axeman.

That’s nothing. We used to have a kitchen waste disposal system called Gary. Kinda wish we’d called it Garvey now, of course.

I think it’s a female thing, which isn’t to say all women do it, OK, but by and large, people who name their cars are women.
I think it’s silly, but then what do I know - I’ve got a guitar called Boomer.

lolol noooo Ed - NWL - nuh wuh luh - Noel - see?!
It’s a bit OCD I fear - it’s like counting in odd numbers - you see the letters and can’t help but create a word (name) with them.

My truck doesn’t REALLY have a name. But it IS an SRV. IT doesn’t liek TExas BLues though.

we give our cars names. if we had your car Cliff we’d call it “the Honda”. ‘course, if we ended up with two cars the same make we’d be stuck.

I’ve revisited this post after linking to it today. Cliff, you say it’s a female thing - naming cars. But can we not forget that my car didn’t have a name until you wanted it to, hmm?

Wendy’s got you there, Cliff. And how’s Boomer doing eh?

Boomer’s great. Can we stick to the subject?
