same here! everybody including my dad's and uncles friends call it the blue car. They both owned it before i did. I just call it the maverick as well.
I do name mine some and if they have one I go with it, just depends on the car.. my truck is named the phantom, and have had trucks named history, sinclair and zeus (sold to a farmer in mexico,it might be hey zeus now...) and cars called virgil,lightning,the professor,the trout, and all have their stories on how they got thier names, but the maverick has not officialy been named yet but have been thinking of calling it kermit, because its green and kinda looks frog-ish from the front...
ha ha loved the names that some people said. My car is named Valerie and she's my beautiful girl. I don't have any story for that name it's just a beautiful name for a beautiful car the name just came down from the heavens one day.
"Bullseye" Kids came up with it, I have always thought that a guys favorite car should have a name, like a cowboy would name his favorite horse back in the old days. I was thinking something like "Lightning" or "Ole Paint" but the kids thought "Bullseye" was perfect, and how can I argue with that?
