Bus Names

[Tikvah]

My wife and I were on a road trip the other day and were thinking about names.
Seems a lot of semis and all boats have a name.   I know most of us have a name on our bus.

What's yours?

[Ed Hackenbruch]

Our bus came with Footloose and Fancy Free on the front and the back,.... thought about changing it for a while but decided we liked it.

[Bruggs bus]

me too, being more of a boat guy I have tried to think of a name that works for my situation....

rolling redneck
slippery when running (because of the leaky oil drippings)
avert your eyes
disaster ahead
man cave on wheels
nutz match
stainless princess
mission from GOD (name the movie)
retread ahead
Diesel pig
the office (hunny I'm heading out to the office, back...whenever)
revolving account
The land roaming TITANIC
I do have a boat called ''Crapp floats'' So why not have ''Crapp rolls''?

How about MCI ~ My Cranium Injury

a couple of sidenotes here....
I had a 5hp lawn mower when I was 7yrs old, that I drove around the neighborhood. It got named by others ''The Bullsh!t Express''. It even had a set of bull steer horns on it. Later I named my 1983 3/4 4x4 pickup truck that same name but with a full steer skull on it. I improved on it with these Cordoba turning lights in the eyes, so as to have it light up at night.
 
I use to have a sign on the back window of my camper that read '' Wanted - overnight guest, knock and apply inside,'' Going down the road and having people come up on passing me. I could see them reading the sign. So I'd sit back a bit in the seat, watching the girl passengers tryin to look over. I got a few smiles and laughs. It was fun and made the boring part of the road trip more entertaining.

One afternoon I told my wife "we need to take the HOUND for a run" she looked at me funny then realized I was talking about the bus, the name kinda stuck from there.

When we had the S&S the kids called it the "Rolling Turd".

We have also talked about putting "Not George Strait" on the destination sign.

My wife suggested "Beginners Luck" and "Just Chillin"

  Wow, "Just Chillin" is the name of our sailboat.

[Challenger568]

Magic Bus.  Just seemed right. j

[Count Iblis]

Me and my wife are both into Sci Fi. She's American and I'm British.
We thought of a few names, most of them were too obvious (like USS Enterprise).

In the end we settled on

HMS Dreadnought

This gives a nod to my country of origin and also a nod to perhaps one of the most significant modern era ships of the Royal Navy

I'm an engineer by profession so 'geeked' by such things.

Pretty interesting History there. Good Name.

bebackbus or big blue bus

When I was in the car business many dealers believe in Buy or Die.  Once a customer leaves you lose them forever.  I always believe if you treat people fairly they in turn will do the same.  In the early years I got fired a lot.  Later it was key to my success.

If you let a customer go with an honest number on a car deal you just did a huge no no.  The manager will yell at you where's your customer?  Oh there he is on the be back bus.  I was king of the be back bus.  Lots of customers bought from me because I treated them fair.  I even thought of touring car dealerships teaching seminars to the salespeople so they could turn their be backs into sales. 

It also works out that we have many places we want to come back to in our travels.



Big Blue Bus is what the grand kids call it.  We are the Big Blue Bus Grampa and Big Blue Bus Gramma.

My wife and I both naturally always called it "The Bus".  The name really seems to fit.  Even my kids, grandkids, and friends refer to it that way. 

[Sam MC8]

We called our previous bus, GM 4106, "PoundHound". We got that bus during the era of the Pound Puppies stuffed toy dogs. That name went right over everyone's head. No body seemed able to make the connection that our bus was a former GreyHOUND rescued from the dog POUND, (junk yard). Our current bus was named "My Way" by the previous owner so we just left that name on it. There have been times that I have used some unprintable names for both of them.

Good luck, Sam
