Our van is known around here as "The Mother Ship." I got it from my mother when she replaced hers a few years back, and Nancy drove it around for three years. It is big, relatively ship-like in its steering compared to the Subaru, and Emerson gets a kick out of calling it that. When we conclude an outing, we all head back to the Mother Ship. I got the truck monikered as Gentleman Gim, it being far fancier than anything I've had before. Now we need a name for my white Subaru, which Nancy has claimed as her ride. She likes the heated seats and the fact that it's more maneuverable than the ship. Not sure she'd go for the White owl, though. hehe
