I had a '79 Westy called the Magic Bus. My younger brother took it to the prom and after-parties. It's a shame when your vehicle sees more action than you do. The license plate "MagcBus" is hanging on the wall at Hodad's, a great burger joint in Ocean Beach, just left of the bar. I still visit sometimes, even though she is now a guest house in the desert.
Currently have a red '65 single cab, not named. Maybe Truckosaurus since it's so old and part of a dying breed. Whadda ya think?

A couple of the guys at work call mine the Dung Beetle because it's faded metalic grey and rarely runs like it's supposed to.

My '67 Riviera camper is named "Richard Leaky" not only after the anthropologist, but also because my front windows leak like there is no tomorrow!!

Maybe I could have chosen Noah...or something more biblical...
