    I usually preface the formal name of the vehicle *&^% it! or combinations of words to suit the situation.

    Remember you have no value. Your assigned truck has more value than a stack of Gold Bricks to the owner who is now on your phone demanding a accounting of damage you did to "my" truck. (Never mind the blumt trauma injuries, busted bones, scared to lost 8 of your 9 lives and so on..) They will travel to the ends of the Nation at a moment's notice as they once did in pursuit of happiness prior to marriage. Just to be sure all is well with the truck and freight.

    With that in mind you can come up with a thousand names for a truck that demonstrates such focused attraction for otherwise sedentary suits who cannot be bothered to get up and pour a scotch. That is what minions are for.

    I usually call them big boys. (Pickup trucks excluded. Even duallies...) It's more fun when you do come across a husband wife team and wonder which way you go big girl or big boy? That depends on who is on the wheel.

    I lament the fact that in a few years time there will be no gender or human on the truck. It will simply be "It" or prefaced with any number of profanity laced language to suit any number of error messages being generated for the poor minion being assigned to fix it now. (I really should put down those stupid DVD's related to the very funny and well done Minions...)
