Name Ray's 1987 Colt Vista

What's your suggestion?

Vista? Doesn't VISTA imply some kind of grand view? Maybe a more appropriate name would be "Lasix LuLu" or "Cataract Kate" or "Glaucoma Gertrude"!

CadillacJeff

the shaggin wagon

Ray's little pony wagon.

The Death Star, because it's gray and blows up.

Vista Cruise

Hasta La Vista

Loose Bolt Colt

From looks alone, it should be named, "Why did I buy this?" But if Ray is attached to it - it should be named Bullet (which is either a good name for a fast Colt or what you need to put it out of its misery).

"VIRGINia"
Nobody will get 'lucky' in a car like that.

Helen as in "Hell on wheels"

The Sloppy Jalopy

You could call it "Drifter" - The perfect car for picking up a bunch of transients.

Aunt Tammie, because if i had an Aunt Tammie, this is what she'd have been driving since I could remember...

it's just so no pretty...

[b]"DOA": Dead on Arrival[u]

When a horse's feet go bad it is called 'founder'. When someone asks you where the heck you got that car you say - founder.

Door Stop, because I think where they got the styling cues.

How about ol' scrappy, it looks like the junkyard is calling.

Colt 45--because you need to be loaded to to drive it.

or

Smoggy Vista--which is obvious.

JohnRM

I had an 87 Colt Vistit named Puff As in Puff the tragic wagon

How about Hi-ho Silver! After all it's silver and it's a colt!

The "Chick Magnet"

There is no way this is a chick magnet. How you would think so is beyond us!!!
