    I went to buy the "Ka" (slang for car I guess) the guy was from Boston or something, it wouldnt start so he starts jump on on the gas pedal saying come on betsy come on betsy, you can do it betsy.. So my friends to this day still joke about it and call it betsy

    The '72, my beater, or just the Maverick for my daily driver. The rest I just call them by the year, the 69.5, the 72 Grabber, the 73 4 door, and so on. F@(%in' old piece of $#!t, or any other number of expletives or combination's there of could apply to any of my vehicles at any given time depending on the circumstance.

    My mom calls her '04 Lincoln LS "Nelly". Everyone else either calls it the hotrod lincoln or the stinkin' lincoln.
