| Alright Geeks. I am usually good for the Indy 500 contest every year, but I figured that we need more action on the boards here. Yes, I will still do the 500 contest but I wanted to drum up some fun so here goes:
I acquired a new (to me) truck in the last few days and drove it in the snow storm today to break it in. It is a late 2000's GMC truck in a nice deep crimson color. Black Beauty (my pickup) or the Beast as DRuff calls it, is still with me but I am going to dump it early in the spring due to almost 300K miles and the feeling that I have gotten as much as I could for my money.
The goal is to name the damned thing. It is bad luck to operate a vehicle without a name.
I will select 5 of my favorite nominees on Superbowl Sunday at kickoff, so you have till then to get your entries on the list. Once I have the list of nominees, I will put up a poll and you vote for your favorite. The person who nominates the winning name gets a nice 5'er from me. Got it? Good. Voting closes 10 am Central on February 10th, 2019.
Here are the rules. Nothing stupid. Nothing lewd. (Yeah, right...no fun. Right? No, just something I can be okay telling my son.) Could be a woman's name (ahoy matey) or something fitting for the new beast. Limit yourself to your 3 best entries. CONUS, as I am stupid too ship things out of the US.
Get it? Got it? Good!
LET THE FUN BEGIN. |

| I don't know why but "Betty" always seemed like a good name for a truck to me.

| Another vote for Red Ryder!
Especially if you've always wanted it, and want nothing else for Christmas. |

| IDK what you need to call it, but if it is an 08 GMC, with the motor where they tried out the new gas saving feature in the engine, you better take the damn thing back, or sell it now before you have to replace the lifters on it! I have the 08, and mine is in the shop now having the third set of lifters put in it.
