My youngest daughter calls it Clyde, my youngest son calls it The Box whilst the rest of the family usually just calls it the Jeep or the Patriot. Our Durango is named "Heavy D."
Riot Grrl, when we were getting a dog , which I didn't want, I asked my wife if I can at least pick the breed since she just liked almost any dog. She said, "I guess you can pick as long as it isn't a boarder collie because they're crazy dogs!" Well, I have always wanted a boarder collie, and after being thwarted on that choice went for an Australian shepherd. I think that was a nice compromise since he is still a working dog and he is not too crazy. Those Ausies have some strange mannerisms though.

Ok, here it goes... (could not find a name)
When I first got it I did call in Pat's - riot.. but then I thought it should not be the same as my screen name..
it is now Plastik Fantastik..
why, I am amazed at how much firm plastic is in the interior and how well it holds up when I throw a lot of stuff in there to carry around....very utilitarian like tupperware or legos..

SMJ - you should look into getting the air deflector/bug shield. I think it looks VERY sharp on my steel blue Pat and have noticed a definitie drop on the amount of bug splats on my front windshield. If you're talking about the actual grill, well i can't help ya there - I stil lhave a HUGE butterfly trapped behind the 2nd slat that I couldn't get off whilst washing for the life of me.

I'm going to wait for my Pat to arrive before naming it.
Every car of mine has had a name.
I think I might let the gang from work name the Pat by committee.

Hmmmm, I'll have to think of something.
As an Italian, I give that a HUGE thumbsup!!!I was just thinking about the Inferno Red..."Testarossa" would be a good name. It means "Red Head" in Italian, so I might just have a Jeep Testarossa! That'll show those Ferrari guys! Let em' try to follow me across those sand dunes!
epper:You could always take a page out of Mr. Burns' book and call it the Jeep Sexerossa because it will be a sexy jeep too....but I'll leave that up to you.I was just thinking about the Inferno Red..."Testarossa" would be a good name.

I won't be in the market for a new vehicle until around February, but the name circling around my brain in association with the Patriot is "The Brick." That said, car names are typically reserved for older vehicles (e.g., > 10 years) around here...or at least, among my friends and family. It doesn't seem right to name the Pat right away.
On a side note, after nearly driving my Mom batty talking ad nauseam about what vehicles I was/am thinking of buying, I finally took her to the dealership a couple of months ago so she could see a Pat for herself. Her response: "It looks like something you go to war with." Heh.

My poo-metallic Pat is such a scrappy-looking little guy, with his big, swaggering wheels, puffed-up fenders and pert, arrogant hiney that I originally intended to name him "Butchie"
However, as I typically do things to tweak people's noses and make my dear PaPa shake his head in consternation, I think I'll name him "Muffin"
(Yes, that makes ME the muffin man, something RAV-4 drivers will just have to learn to cope with)
