Truth be told, however - doing something which subsequently
causes a feature or action at the BBQ to be named after you is
*usually* not healty for your vehicle. ;-)
I'm sure I could come up with more examples given some time,
but "Ranger Gulch" and "Adam Style" pop immediately to mind. ;-)
Both of those items started rather early in BBQ history, I think
maybe we are more jaded now. For example, I find it rather
remarkable that as of yet, no feature name or adjective has
resulted from Christine's little bath a couple of years ago.
Ok, we have "Sonar O'Reilly", but that's rather tame - I would
have thought that by now, we would have at least verbed his name
- for example "I'm gonna Tom that puppy right into the lake!".
Who knows, something more might happen, sometimes it takes a
while. ;-) Anyway, the point I am trying to make is that if
someone can work all year round just to get their truck ready for
the BBQ, practically performing a complete drivetrain swap mere
hours before the event, and then sink it over its roof in a pond
prior to being able to do any offroading at all and nothing really
comes of it, imagine the scale of blunder which would be required
to have a feature named after your truck at this point! ;-)
