So what are some nicknames you give to your Xterra? Don't tell me its "The Beast." Seems like everyone's truck or car is "The Beast" nowadays...

Mine is Magellan, after the explorer (not the popular GPS brand)

My First Xterra was Tabasco, after the color Salsa.

Condom.
Dirty outside, clean inside.


Thomas

People call mine the banana bus; its one of 4 cars in my town that are yellow so its an oddball.

Not if you use it right!

We refer to as simply the X. I'm sure this will be interesting when my baby girl (Terra) gets older or I my wife should ever leave me...

The Sexterra

few of my friends call it the sexterra. I call it the X, The X Mobile, The Beast, and the Xornator

Sunnymoon is her name....fun is her game. Since my X is Solar Yellow and I took her home on a full moon.

My wife calls it "your car".

Surprisingly, that's the nickname I gave to my wife's Camry.

Very confusing in my house sometimes.

I don't understand the name your vehicle thing...

If I get another Xterra, I'm calling it Kevin or Dave or Michelle or Mike.

The Truck

My 8 yr old daughter calls it Spidey since it seems like it can "crawl anywhere".

I tend to call it "f*ing piece of crap sh*t!" when it gets stuck.

my friends call mine the taco eater

Lil' Beast

usually referred to as " The Rig ".......when around my buddy with a '04 Jeep Liberty I just call it superior in every way!!!!!

Well... mine has an interesting story. I researched the Lakota Sioux, and found an interesting word, Ikipi, which means "Ability"

Later on, I find out that in Hawaiian, it means "Mud"

"The Black Knight"

"The Smurfin' Sexterra".

Not a regular nickname, but whenever I see the friend who named it that, he reminds me.

My truck has been refered to as "The Beast",O1SalsaX or O1SoggyX (When I flooded the cabin) or more commonly known as "Scooby".

Probably because the truck has always had a scooby somewhere on the outside. And scooby (the stuffed one)always seemed to grow whenever Scooby (The truck) got bigger from lifts, tires,etc.. They were always in proportion to each other..
Wow.. I'm rambling..must be the meds..

The Minivan

the short bus is what my boyfriend calls it. I guess that's what it is when I'm driving him around in it.

Mine...

"The Moose"

Cause once it starts climbing it doesn't stop

Don't know what we'll call our 05 X when we get it next month, but my wife and I call our 96 Sebring "the Shitbring", and our 94 Pathfinder "the Shitfinder". Am I allowed to say that?

My X is named Mother Green! cause thats where she likes to play,we have been through it all together mud,sand,gravel,hills,water,rocks and the mother has conquered them all!

"The yellow bananna truck" Named by one of my sons little 6year old classmates. I always respond with.
"Ohhh, I was trying to hide how'd you find us?"
She always looks confused after that, not knowing if I'm serious or not.

I call it "mine, all mine"

('till I see the payment slip each month)

Edge... occassionally referred to as "my X"

"my X", "the X", ummm...that's about all I can think of. Not that I ever thought about a name for it.

"My Truck"
"My X"
"My Baby"
and...
"The Terminator".. no just kidding.

My fiance and I both call the Xterra "Bonnie"...

We also call her Mustang "Sally"

I just call 'er PhoeniX. Risen from the ashes to become something of beauty.

Yeah, that's right, I'm a frickin' poet!

Cookie Monster...cuz its blue, and every time i see a puddle, and theres enough room...i cant help but pull a quick cookie in it.

Depends to who I am talking to and weather I feel like explaining why.
from: Grupmy/don't want to talk
to: Happy/boastful/talkative
My Xterra
My Truck
The X
Terra
MediMecc (only one that needs explination, has a first aid kit (medi) and is a machine (mecc) not the same reasons as my similar screen name however)

The Only 2 Original Nicknames so far. (Unless anyone wants to vote mine as original too.)

I call it "the wifes truck." I drive the Frontier.

"Family Killer"

.... I got into a car accident...

Lothar.

The Handsome Gorilla

I just call mine "My truck" or "My Rig".

Others nicknamed it "The Green Sub" after stuff like this:

Don't have an X. Got a Frontier, though. It's either a money pit, or broken, or both, depending on what rock or tree I hit over the weekend.

WARHOG

or warty
or the warthog
or wartilla the hog
depends on whose riding in it with me

me "steel X"
my daughter : "daddy's tuck"
my son "the Xterra", "its not a car, its an suv!!"

"Shooting Star" cause I'm Racer X! (from Speed Racer)

After washing and waxing, she will be "(X)Terra Patrick!" All nice, clean and sexy! :p

But if she's giving me problems, getting stuck, or just being tempermental... "my X"

Tank II - Tank was my '86 Chevy fullsize van. Tank II isn't as large, but still has managed to come out better than the other vehicle in the collision - just like Tank did. Tank II also pulled out a humvee, like a tank could - ok, so it really just carried the winch that pulled out the humvee, but it makes a good story nonetheless.

I usually call mine "My Mortage Payment" cuz the payment is almost as much as my house payment is. Also bean referred to as "The Bitch" or "The Beast".

'The best money I spend every month"

Grey Goat..........

just like it says <~~~ mine is my Molten Lava Monster, and the last 3 letters on her license plate are SGC for She Got Class

my X used to be called either the X or the truck. only for my sister to go "its not a truck, its an SUV"

now i just call it dead and mourn its loss

I don't have a name for it but my wife calls it
"The other woman"

Mine officialy is "Terrance"...

I named mine " Shania " becouse it's hot looking
Chris

My brother named mine "The Thing"

Mine's "the mistress" My wife feels I spend way too much time with it. Silly wife!

"You piece of shit"

BOB

well after much thought the name of mine will remain moby xterra. however peter fitzwell is in a close second. cuz if it's peter fitzwell, ride it.

I call mine

"piece of shit" because it is.

StickerBook, My little sister named it that after I added the aftermarket companies stickers.. still missing a SLR... oh well.

StickerBook, My little sister named it that after I added the aftermarket companies stickers.. still missing a SLR... oh well.

My cars have always had names that played off the name of the model or make (Val the Volvo, Jasper the Jeep, etc...). The Xterra is a girl; Ximena (spanish name pronounced like "Himenna".

I have had my truck for quite some time and never thought to name it.

Well... after some consideration and thought, the only name that occurs to me that would be appropriate is:

Lord Hollingsworth of Xterraia

Noobie001

I call mine Layla, because I can.

My 5 year old son and I call it Blooregard Q. Kazoo (aka Bloo)
from "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends."

I don't have a name for it yet as I'm only picking it up in 2 days, but we were at the bank today and the loan manager asked if we had a picture your baby, before I have a chance to reply my girlfriend pulled out a picture of our son.

So I guess for a second it was "My Baby".

That's cool, I call mine The Star Destroyer.

I named mine Soldier
Also refer to it as:
Battle Buddy
Little Soldier

Cut me some slack, too much Army in me, you think?
:rolleyes:

i sometimes call mine "the sexy Xie" or terri.

Mine's "the green bastard!", ya know, Bubbles?...Trailer Park Boys?...ah, must be a Canadian thing

bob

Niiiiccceee....

Mine is called Namito...it is a Abenaki-Penobscot word meaning "See". I chose this name becuase my X takes me to see places I wouldn't get to otherwise

Not surprisingly, the Xterra is called "the X" and our Nissan 350Z is called "the Z."

Original, eh?

oo my first post here!

Mine is called "Bitch"...She can be moody sometimes!

"That which consumes my money and bloats my credit card bills"
or
"The thing which could've been my boat"

I thought it was your boat Dan. Well at least a submarine

Why does everyone say that?

Well, we just call our new 05 X "The X".

However, our 94 Pathfinder, which had been our pride and joy for the last 11 years, now seems like a little putt-putt wagon in comparison.

So we find ourselves calling the pathy "Putt-Putt".

As in:

"Poor little Putt-Putt, are your manifold bolts all achey AGAIN??!!"

my nephew was still learning to talk when i got mine and he called it something like this, "stir", "stair", "sturr". not sure the correct spelling, but you get the idea. oddly enough, thats what i call it now. "the sturr"

Black Cat

Mine is known as the "Triple-Xterra" (XXXterra for short) or the 'White Flash'

Cuz of this:

Right now I call mine Broken Piece of Shit.

Mine is "Rattle Box" right now. Can't find the stupid heat shield that is buzzing.

Millennium Falcon--see wav links below

ok.. kindda old thread.. but I like my nickname for my X: Goliath.

Let's see, what do I call my ex. Hmmm...mostly money hunngry, back stabbing, cheating bitch. But sometimes I refer to her simply as slut.

Oh, my X!!! Oh, sorry...nothing, why the hell would I name my truck something? That's just

Heh...happy Thursday, kids!!

Spanky!

I call my 2000 silver ice X Quiksilver. It's even got the Quiksilver logo right above the 3rd tail light. Good stuff.

I call mine 'Shed'. Because it has all of the aerodynamic styling of a garden shed!

Heh

Gas guzzling tank.

Hands down winner there..

Woa-o "Black Betty" Bam-a-lam!

My wife, my son, and I all call it the Beast.

When I had my X it was called TANK.

Mine is named "Bob."

I call mine the 'big black bitch' sometimes black betty

I love my X, but it doesn't have a name.

Sydney

"The Taxi"

(guess what color it is!!)

Tim

After reading all these, "BIG BLACK BITCH" was my favorite I call my black X "Midnight"

What can I say. I love my big black bitch.

I call mine box.

That's great. But what about your trucks nicknames?

The Sherman. All it needs is a big white star on the side.

ROFL! That was REALLY funny. I called my wife in to read that one. She got a kick out of it.

POS

The truck.

Seriously, have any of you actually ever compared the size of our trucks to anything else on the road? Referring to an Xterra as Big, Beast, or anything implying a massive, powerful vehicle is a little silly.

I love my truck but come on, it's just about the smallest rig on the road today that can still be classified as an SUV.

Flame away.

I only consider her big because when I am done waxing my shoulder kills me! Never had that problem with my car.

So maybe you should change your screen name from BigYella to Lil'Yella??

LOL! Good thing I was not drinking something when I read your post!



Good Point! I actually use BigYella because it has just a little more yellow than a stock one does..............never even considered it's size when I choose that name! Maybe I should have choosen LotsaYella!

Oh yeah, back to the point of this thread, I have never referred to the truck itself as BigYella so I believe I'll stick to my comment!

My girlfriend calls it the "Banana Taxi"

Never had a nickname for my X, but just recently I took my wife to Big Bend National Park. I’ve been there several times, but this was her first time. As we just started heading down the back country roads, we got on the subject of nicknames for the X. She started off with “Hoss” but then quickly changed it to “Mule”. I asked her why, and she said because I was always loading the X down with all this equipment and heading down roads that only a mule would travel. Seemed very fitting, and even more so since most all of the back country roads in Big Bend started out as mule paths anyway… So henceforth, my Xterra is known as “Mule”.

Mine has been nicknamed "The Drunk Bus" by my GF cause i am always loading my drunk friends in the back since they can't hold there sh!t down. Maximum drunk people it can hold 10, 4 of which bounce around the trunk since there are no seatbelts.

WOW!!!!

How do you fit 10 people in your Xterra?

That has got to look funny as hell!

I really didn't started naming my cars up until I purchased my 240sx.

240sx - Silvia - not that it's a S14 Silvia, just called her that
4Runner - Francis - I don't own this anymore, traded in for the XTerra
XTerra - Xander

tj

ok. I finally stopped crying/laughing from reading all the names U all have come up with. Im must say..U all need professional help. (I guess thats y Im here 2).
As 4 me, I named her Tierra. Spanish for land.
PS: Im still trying 2 figure out how U squeezed in 10 people.

I call mine "The Gas Whore."

SeXterra, a friend caught a female friend and myself in the act. Whoops.

I call my X Rocco

"Reason". A friend suggested that, after the gun which is pretty much the star of the last chapters of Neal Stephenson's _Snow Crash_. "Everyone listens to Reason", yadayadayada.

I think it was meant to be some kind of sly dig at my driving style.

Not original, but I refer to mine as "The X" or my truck.

However, my mom, after seeing Episode 3, decided that my 05 X looked like Darth Vader's helmet (she needs help, but I love her). So now, my mom refers to it as Darth. I guess I could combine them and call her Darth X......

When my exhaust rattles, which is now most of the time it gets called "WHAT THE F&CK!?"

brick on wheels.

It's stupid, but I call mine Pearl. She's black, so black pearl, and my favorite band is Pearl Jam, so it just seemed to fit.

My rig's called "Vader" - it's black and sorta resembles him:

Somebody started calling it the Ectetera and it kinda stuck. I still use the old standby 'the X' often also.

how about that, my mom calls my X Darth. it's an 05 SuperBlack.

My Night Armor SE 4x4 is named Phoenix.

I call mine redruM.

-redruM

Wheezy

This is kind of an old thread, but I bet there are some new people here that have some nicknames.

I read a lot of these, a lot of funny ones, but not sure why 3 different paople called theirs "bob".

anyways, I didnt name mine, but it has regulrly been called "Mufasa" from the Lion King movie.

Update: I still have Bonnie... the fiance upgraded Sally to a 350Z named Zoe.

OMG 10 pages of nicknames for a truck. I thought only the girlie girlie type of females did this. (And by girlie girlie, I'm not mocking, I'm being only slightly sarcastic, unless you are.....yeh wait, yes, I'm being sarcastic- byebye truckiez! )

As Grayham stated ealier, "my" truck or "your" car. It only varies from these two incredibly complex and long thought-out names when either vehicle is being fussy, like having battery issues, or somethings broken, like the CD player.

Next time we'll break out the BABY NAME BOOK.



EDIT- wrong smiley. heh. duh!
MGJ

everybody calls mine "the fun bus"

Samuel

Lola - she's a girl, but she's got balls.

Zaphod. No specific reason, just been a fan of HG2G since I first saw the Brit series back in '82 (10x better than the movie that came out about the same time I got the X)... and I sure wasn't going to call it Arthur DENT, or FORD Prefect... and Marvin had this pain in the diodes in his left (drivers) side (too much bad juju on those 3), Slartibartfast was too long, and Vogon Prostetnic Jeltz was right out.

Previous vehicles:
Juniper
Thaddeus Kahoutek (a Comet, named for a comet)
Star
Jenny
Brunhilde
Lamont (after Lamont Cranston, it was a Shadow) a.k.a "Shitbox from Hell"
Arnold.

short bus is the running joke. My friends are a little slow...
______________

L--O------OO--|

My girlfriend calls it Butch because she says it is a masculine shade of yellow.

I hunt, trap and fish,ALOT! So Death truck fits
To you anti's

Wheezy.

Scar...like the Predator...same color and a big O gash in the front.

Hubby started called her "the bee" and it stuck.

lately folks at work have been callin' it the "South-African Taxi". I kinda' like it..

Coincidentally, here's a real one ..

Those in the know refer to the 05-06 Xterras as ''Chunky Monkies."

I call mine the "Hippo," however, because somewhere or other I read that Night Armor was originally called Hippo Gray in Japan.

Eerie man.... You making an annual thing out of this, Chuck? Just giving you crap.


I just say I'm taking the "truck," or sometimes we call it the "Short Bus"

Almost to the day! Maybe next August I will forget again that I already responded and do it again!

I work in IT, and a coworker of mine came up with this one day:

"x like extreme, and terra, like a lot of data...it's the extreme lot of data truck!!"

I call mine

"the black one"
"the blue one"
and
"the green one"

Blue

She's been called "SEX-TERRA" because of the old SEXC stickers I still proudly wear. Funny how many have that tag.
I caller 'Silver' or sometimes 'The Raider'.
She also goes by 'The Truck' or 'The Rig'.
A more affectionate name my wife calls her is 'The Money Pit'

The Sexy XE

"Mine" ('05) and "Yours" or "Hers" ('06)

XZILLA...Says so right on my license plate.

I usually call mine the XXXterra when I'm joking around with friends

With a Moose on opening day. Another dead animal for the Death truck. Now how many ducks can I stuff in this thing

Mine is called "Rockaholic" or "the Green Monster."

Once I started using Rockaholic as a screenname, everyone started calling me that.

same here, my truck is steelX, not me.

That is awesome!!! I'm in Anchorage, too. I bought a Granite '05 S 4x4 a week and a half ago. I LOVE IT! How're you liking yours? I'm diggin' the name you gave yours. Haven't thought to name mine yet, but the person who named theirs "Peter Fitzwell" has had me laughing for the past 20 minutes!!! How flippin' smart is that!?!?!?

Okay, guess I'll go with "SKIP", cuz "Skipper di Fango" is Italian for Mud Skipper

One more X owner from Alaska in here and we'll have to start a club

one of the guys that used to hang out with us in the XTC-HI forum just moved to Alaska.. Has a 2nd Gen.. Might be a start..

AK XTERRA....I know! I was disappointed there WASN'T one!!! Since buying mine, I have had the "look there's another one" syndrome. My friend Bryan says to do the 'what's up' wave to other Xterra drivers. I tried it twice and either it's an untruth that you all do that, or the people in AK, but.....let's just say I gave that one up.

I used to have a Jeep Wrangler and we all waved to eachother all the time. Miss that. So, if you see someone driving towards you in a Granite X, and they've got their hand up.....WAVE BACK!!! (unless there's a chance they're just swatting a mosquito!!!!!)

How about this rain? There's a huge mud pit on the Old Seward past Huffman (near a strip mall) It's where I broke my X's cherry!!!

Most times I wave, and I get a look backlike "Do I know you, or are you just some weirdo waving?"

Anthony....EXACTLY!!! I hate that look. As if it'd tax the person to wave back reguardless of whether they know you or not. Sometimes I want to just drive by like... (with my knee under the wheel, of course!!!)

But, NO, I do it the nice way. Maybe I'll get a reaction if I start doing the ...Hell, I feel better already!!!

Pepper Dash...Nice ride, I love your color choice. :-) I'll keep my eyes open for you around town. I'm actually usually driving my other rig, red '96 Dodge Ram with a big ol' RAIDERS decal on the back so if you see me...HONK! And yeah, it's about friggin' time the rain let up. I'm way sick of pumping water out of my crawl space...

XALASKA...tell me about it!!! My sump pump goes off every ten minutes or so. It's ggod to see the sun!

I believe I HAVE seen your truck around. Raider's logos seem alittle popular for Alaska, but who am I to judge (I'm a lifelong Patriots fan..only because it's in our blood back home in MA)

I'll be sure to honk if I see you! I met a girl the other night with one the same color, but with the round headlights (year?) and we were laughing about the whole waving thing. I told her I had even waved to her before (we live a street away from eachother) and she cracked up and said she'd definitely wave from now on!

Take tare and enjoy this sun!!!!

My friends and I refer to mine as Mamasan. I'm taking an informal poll of 1 and yep...that's the best nickname posted!
