      As Tony W.(NineBall) said in one of the name threads.

      I suppose this isn't any different.

      Having a project name that is well-known is easier to use when tallking about specific cars. We could say "Mule", or we could keep saying "That silver 1969 Camaro with Fikses and twin-turbos that Stielow built". Those in the know hear "Mule" and instantly know what you are talking about.

      pick a name that describes the character or style of your car.
      That red 69 camaro
      That blue 69 camaro
      That silver 69 camaro
      That red chevelle
      that blue chevelle..........
      If they are named its easier to remember the car.

      Keep Xtreme out of the name. I think that conversation went down a while ago.
      I like the Street Sweeper one. Or you could do like the T-Shirts that say "kiss my SS" and name it "Haulin-SS"

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

      I agree...by law all 69 Camaros should be named because there are so dam many of them out there. But its not like there are a lot of 64 Chevelle wagons being PT'd so in this case we are pretty safe in identifying "1970cuda's 64 Chevelle 2 door wagon". Well crap that would really screw with peoples minds! But if I knew 1970cuda's name I could just say Freds(?) wagon. Kind of like my car would be kmcanally's (or just Kevins) Mustang. Now if I had 5 green Mustangs I guess I would have to name them to differentiate one from the other. Kind of like my daughters, since I have more than one I had to name them. If I only had one she would just be known as kmcanally's daughter. But now that I put it in that perspective my Mustang is part of my (but now my wifes) family so maybe I should name it too?

      OK in all seriousness on to some name suggestions for the wagon. How about Wagon Train? Or maybe Battle Wagon? I also like Travis' simple suggestion of LSwagon.

      That was actually Bill H's suggestion.......but I like it!

      I think all cars should be named...especially any car that could possibly get some recognition at some point or another.....ie mags,track days, etc.

      they are just easier to identify....

      I would like to name my project but I can't come up with the right name! I do like Battle wagon as well

      Chevygon, Chevelleagon, Chevagon, Chevellygon, Chevygate, Chevellagate, Interrogate, Big Hauler, Gas Pig -a name we called our station wagon, LS Station , Instationable SS, Station to Station, Devistation Wagon, can't think of any more right now.

      I really like Devistation Wagon now that I look at it. Has so many different meanings if you think about it!!

      Name

      i think that a name would be cool but not necessary. jeff schwartz is just giving me a hard time on his web site. he said he will move it from "other projects" to it's own page when i come up with a name.

      so how is this "robyn's 64 chevelle wagon the jeff schwartz is building?"

      In keeping with the grocery hauler theme from the early posts, and inspired by Primate's list, I think "Domestic" would be a pretty sweet name. Clever, definitely not too macho...

      I like it, anyway.

      I talked to the wife about naming mine.

      She's got two schools of thought.

      The first says that either of my cars is rightly called "that pile of crap".

      The other school says that I don't have to name them, the General did it for me: One is named "El Camino" and the other is named "Malibu SS".

      If Jeff demands a name before it gets its own page, why not make one up? "George". "Mabel". "Britney (well, maybe not)". Guess both of mine could be "Bob".

      Put flames on it and...

      Draggin wagon made me think that if it had flames in could be Dragon Wagon. The flames could go the other way than normal and really get some attention.
