The 4 door's got a name. "Old Blue". Why? Well, it is old, and it is blue. And my roommate started calling it "Big Blue", which just didn't ring right, and then it dawned on my as to why. One of my dad’s colleagues when I was in high school had an old ’66 (maybe '65 or '67) Ford Galaxie Wagon. They took it camping, down long dirt roads in the Southern Utah deserts, and it pretty much took everything they gave it. It, too, was blue, and they all called it "Old Blue". Just seemed to fit. I still haven't come up with anything for the convertible or the Subaru, nothing has struck me as perfect yet.
