[AT] Naming contest

[kgw]

Let's see---my B-I-L has an old 88 S-10 pickup that came through my 
family since new---it has been named "PATCHES" due to her 
appearance---junkyard replacement bed doesn't quite match, etc.

My wife's 2002 Cavalier is some sort of gold color; the same B-I-L has 
named it the (GOLD)"BRICK"---a name which my wife refuses to accept!

These things tend to just just evolve
