How many times have you had to explain the car names?

Just about every time I mention them...I don't seem to run into too many history fans.

In reply to Gubby: That's why I gave up mentioning the Mustang's name Nooky Booky. Named after a series of P-51's flown by Leonard "Kit" Carson of the 357th FG. Most people gave me that blank stare or assumed it meant something naughty.

I also have the E-dirty and the Exploder for my 325e and explorer

86 MR2 - Rustynutts

Do cuss words count as names?

Trooper = Tucker. My kid named it. But it stuck.

Restored J-H = Casper. White and was nearly a ghost when I found it.

Race car J-H = Jensenator.

All have unprintable nicknames.
