Chevy & GMC Vans

Referred to as the "pig", or the gd sumnab***ch when I bust a knuckle working on it.

Hey Steve, I think all of us have shared that.

I've read it a couple times.

Ha, thats awesome, Sanj.

For those who don't know, Surrey is a suburb of Vancouver.

Correction Surrey is a sketchy suburb of Vancouver. Also it had the honour of being the car theft capitol of North America for several years.

My wife calls my van Remington Teal because it has Teal paint and she had to name it. The last one was called BIG RED and the one before that was the BBB or Big Blue Beast.

Sketchy!!!! I could think of better adjectives to explain Surrey. None of which are appropriate for this site.

"Tiny the Rhino" although not so tiny anymore.. Now it's "Tiny" in the way that a 300lb biker in dirty black leathers is called "Tiny".

I come on the site after some time away and this is what I find! The way I see it "slut" implies the van would be a female. My wife always referred to the Van as MR. Van. Reliable, strong, always there when you needed it, never a hassle. Must be a guy!
You need to rename the Van or I will have to come and take it away from you.
Van less in Delta

I figured that name would get your attn

"Trouble"...because he's been nothing but that from day one. Especially because I just had to replace the tranny before moving to CA...two days before! Took me 16 hours with my girlfriend helping for 12! 1st time for me, and boy was that an adventure...especially when it didn't work..wouldn't shift into gear. I had it towed to the shop I bought the tranny from and they told me (without looking at it) that I mis-stabbed the torque converter. I was VERY careful with that step and asked them to check it out right there...two days later they called be and told me "sorry, it had a cracked filter that wasn't sucking up fluid". I finally left for CA 5 days late...friggin Trouble man! This van is both my buddy, and my nemesis!

My hoodlum friends call my van M-Van or Murder-Van because seven of us pack in it and go to the gun range. White van, tinted windows, filled with goons with guns!


My wife and I just call it "Van", not the van but the name "Van" like Van Morrison.
