Just saw a tradie truck go past on Bridge road - it had TRADIE! in very large letters on each side, and across the back in huge letters FORMULA SHITBOX. Tell it like it is folks.
Wife says I cant call her little hatchback a shitbox. I tell her its a term of affection. I dont think she understands that I love that little car, its got so much spirit!
Shitboxes have character. They have stories, they have names. A car needs to earn its soul.
Agreed! I dont often name my cars. Or I do, but I just call 'em the model. "The Impreza" for example, like a title. Hers gets a special name though. Its named "The (sports variant of her car)". It is NOT the sports variant. But it has the heart of one.
