Christine. You ever seen that horror movie with the killer possesed car. Well about 3 months ago mine was running in park. THe B&M shift cable burnt in half onm the exhaust pipe, fell back into reverse when I was trying to get back in the car. The open dorr knocked me down drug me across the road then ran me over. Then when done with me it went into my neighboors fence and luckaly stopped. Hence its named Christine.

The "Patriot Missile" cause I got it during the Gulf War when the US was using Patriot Missiles to shoot down Scud Missiles . Plus I'm a huge New England Patriot fan too !

LOL Glad you liked it I didnt care for it that much. I think I got pics of the large spot on my foot that was void of skin where it dragged me down the road, and ripped my shoe off. It happened two months ago and I still have a cut on my shin where the tire went over it. But oh well at least I entertained someone.

Suzanne is named after a schizophrenic character in a Stephen King novel....basically because she'll be running like a raped ape one day and the next morning will spit and sputter and raise all kinds of hell. Two days later she'll be running great again.....


.....which is why I bought a truck to drive to work. I got sick of arguing with her every morning. Now I just drive her on the weekends.

names range from, B****, hoe, pile of S***, hunk of junk, etc. On many days. On good days I simply acknowledge it as being a car.
