I was thinking it would be better named "Windows For Workgroups".

Your colt should be named "Dog Meat". After the movie Caddy Shack 2. In that movie, Jackie Mason's horse that kept farting was named Dog Meat.

Ploppy. Or if you are familiar with the car, you can us the informal Ol' Ploppy.

Re: Name Ray's 1987 Colt Vista
Something about this car reminds me of my first car. I needed a car in college because I was working on a field study, so my Dad bought me a 64 Volkswagen Bug, this was 1977 or so. I knew how to drive an automatic but this car was a stick and there were a lot of hills between my dorm and the field study. He and my brother brought it down and left it without even giving me a lesson. The name she got was "Dammit". Somehow, I'll bet you've even called this car that name, or worse, a time or two!

Good Lord!
Does Ray own a sexy car?

Human life is far too short for a Colt of any variety.

I typed "fart too short" the first time. Sigh.

Love the show. Yeah... I'm a geek from GA tech.

Tommy, I think you have some great cars. Stop letting everyone put them down. If most people had bought this car new and lived in the northern part of the country, it would be rusting in a junkyard somewhere. Congrats on keeping it on the road.
By the way, are you still running the same oil in it? I think you guys said you had an experiment going on where you don't change the oil in one of your cars to see if that actually kills it.

I named my 1964 Fairlane Bertha. It's a good name.
