i've actually been having a hard time with the whole "truck" thing. I'm so used to saying truck, and I want to call it a truck so bad, though it's technically a car. So I just call it "the Jeep". Maybe it's the Vehicle Formerly Known as Jeep.

My 7 year old said it best. "It goes offroad Daddy... it's a truck!"

 

Well, I did call mine "the plastic fantastic" once... But it's kind of a mouthful. We've been just calling our vehicles "the Jeep" and "the Ford". Wonder what would happen if we ended up with more than one Jeep or Ford, though... Anyone want to sponsor a scientific research project?

I think calling a Patriot a "truck" feels a bit silly. Especially since I have a real truck - an F-150 - as a comparison... On the other hand, it's not quite a "car" either. "Jeep" seems so far like the only thing that fits.

 

"the jeep"

 

"the jeep"

I have a truck, full size Ram, and a Tracker. So it's "the Truck" the Tracker" and "the Jeep" for me. Of course if I get another Jeep then I'll have to rethink that.

 

I call mine "the Jeep", although I do sometimes refer to it by it's nickname, "Grunt".

 

I started calling mine the Patty Wagon, which I like and was pretty set on...

That is offensive to Irish people...But they're probably too drunk to get mad about it, so never mind.

 

LOL :friday:

 

I named mine Ignatz for the cartoon mouse: kinda small but it has a spunky attitude.

 

Mostly I just call it 'the Jeep', sometimes 'the Pat'.

My mother kept calling it a truck and I told her it's not a truck, its a Jeep.

 

UAV

Urban Assault Vehicle!

Actually I have a Liberty too, that is the Libby or the Jeep, the Patriot is pretty much the Pat.

Fred might be good too.

 

"the pat" or "TJ" for The Jeep...

 

While im 4x4ing I call my little beauty "Little Red" and in general "The Jeep" and since it's my first one I'm pretty fond of it.

 

Normal conversation, it's "The Jeep"

But I've been planning on getting a license plate that reads "MTNGOAT".
My Patriot may not be the prettiest on the road, or the fastest, or the strongest... but she does what needs to be done, and scales up mountain trails like a mountain goat.

 

Mine is called "RUPERT"

 

Damn you Rupert...you were watching the boys again, weren't you?

 

LOL - my mates old man's grand cherokee we call the "Flow Ridah"

So my Patriot has been dubbed "Junior Flow Ridah" or Junior Ridah for short

 

ours is called "Jeep"

 

my "Poor Man's Hummer"

 

Strange never gave it much thought, I guess I would always say "I'll run out to my car" never "I'll run out to my ford or taurus, or nissan" etc etc. But with my Jeep I found I am saying "i'll run out to my jeep or my patriot" so I guess it's Jeep or Patriot.

 

Paddywagon
Modern paddywagon, Lewiston, Maine.
Modern Western Australian Police Force paddywagon
NSW Police Ford Ranger paddywagon with new-style cage
Finnish police van, aka. "Mustamaija"The word paddywagon is of American origin. The precise origin of the term is uncertain and disputed, though its use dates back to at least the beginning of the 1900s.[1] There are at least three theories as how the phrase originated.[2]

The most prevalent theory is based on the term "Paddy" (a common Irish shortening of Patrick), which was used (sometimes as derogatory slang) to refer to Irish people.[3] Irishmen made up a large percentage of the officers of early police forces in many American cities. Thus, this theory suggests that the concentration of Irish in the police forces led to the term "paddywagon" being used to describe the vehicles driven by police.
An alternative theory is similarly based on the term "Paddy" but states that the term arose due to the number of immigrant Irish being arrested for having consumed too much alcohol and taken away in the vehicles.[4]
The final theory holds that the name originates from the padding used on the inside of police horse-drawn carriages to prevent injury;[5] this last is regarded by lexicographers as an example of folk etymology.[citation needed]

Hmm.. so there IS a chance that it COULD be considered derrogatory? Interesting... well I'm one of em, so I can drop the P word. What up Paddy... Paddy Please... do you wanna riiiiiide... in the backseeeat of my Patty... LOLOLOL epper:

 

I call mine "The Runt" because its the smallest thing I've ever driven.

 

We call ours "jeep" or sometimes "patriot".
