Given your admittance - if the PO had owned an ice cream parlor, your Tercel's name would be Cherry?

P.S. For the uninitiated -
......the name is a partial reference to an
......ice cream tribute from Ben & Jerry -
......but garyfish got it right away.

hahahahaha I agree with Petros! :D ;) I call mine "The Hawk Wagon" because Tercel in the dictionary means a male hawk or falcon bird, basically! ;) Hence my calling it "the Hawk Wagon"! ;) Sometimes I call it "her" or "Baby" after my ex-gf who I constantly referred to as "baby"! ;) ;) Maybe when I got Lexani's or Asanti's mounted up on it and it has a fre$h Ghetto restoration with nice paint and stripes, etc.

This is the logic behind my "Shaggin' Wagon".
It's a scientific fact that in a twin engine aircraft, when one engine fails there is always enough power in the remaining engine to make it all the way to the crash site.

I know one chick who loves the terc. My 3 year old daughter calls Old Blue "the mountain car" because it drives up mountains as opposed to the wifes corolla which is called "the street car". She loves to 4x4 as much as I do. If she's lucky the terc will be hers one day.

my fiancee didn't really give a shit about my terc at first, but after our 3000 km roadtrip to burning man and then the addition of the weber she became a bit of a fan. it definitely doesn't get her all hot and bothered or anything, but she's down with it.
