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.

"more expensive than those testosterone pills" (kind of long)
"Everybody"s new best friend who moving furniture"...that's to long too...the classic "Red Rocket"...or just "Big Red" :smoker:
I don't know why but "Betty" always seemed like a good name for a truck to me.
Rosie - as in a Whole Lotta
Sight unseen my 3 are as follows
1. Based on Color - The Bloodhound
2. Based on Location - Lincoln
3. Going out on a limb that it's a GMC Sierra . My daughter has a friend named Sierra and she goes by "CC"
Either way, Congrats on the new truck.

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.

Yours needed new lifters cause you sat in oil fields idling while smoking cigars and chatting on the Google Herf.
And cause there was a mouse poop'n on the engine.
Just say'n.

E, This one doesn't have the active fuel management system in it.
And why are you having someone else change them out? That is a (fairly) easy process. :biggrin:

Just about 36 hours to go. Keep em coming. Don't be shy. I want to really have a tough choice for the vote. And who doesn't want a shot at free cigars.
Thanks Geeks!
