This truck needs a nickname!

All my life, I've had nicknames for my vehicles. I find it just makes it easier to use a nickname than saying "the truck" or "the Tacoma". Plus, it gives a little bit of a glimpse into the personality of the owner.

Problem is, I cannot come up with a good nickname for my current truck. My brother, my girlfriend, my coworkers and myself have exhausted all possibilities for good nicknames, so I'm turning to the members of this forum for ideas.

To give you an idea of previous nicknames, here are all my previous vehicles:

1989 Ford Taurus - "The Tactical Taurus" (It looks like the 'futuristic' cop cars in Robocop II)

1993 Isuzu Trooper - "The Box Rocket", "Super Trooper"

2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee - "Blue Steel" (Zoolander Reference), "Blue Thunder" (After the awesomely cheesy Roy Scheider movie)

2007 Tacoma DC OR (Silver) - ?????



A little about me: I work as a Paramedic, enjoy duck and deer hunting, shooting, college football, just graduated from UNC, blah, blah, blah.

Help me out guys, this truck needs a nickname.

^ Eyedoc,

I actually thought about "Hyperacute T", but that got the mayonnaise face () from my bro and GF. Guys at the station loved it though.

What about "Jones" or "Jonesy/Jonesie"? I mean, that's coming from your username, which I suspect is part of your real name and such

If you nicknamed your Taco the Jonesy, you can kinda joke around with your buddies, telling them to "keep up with the Jonesy"
