For any car owner, there may be a certain vehicle that was driven for a long time and experienced many different scenarios, some memorable and intimate. That car may have a certain mechanical personality or charm, be it how it’s decorated or why it behaves under certain conditions. That car has become a second home or a personal concert hall. It also has carried the burdens and desires of its owner At one point or another, the owner has bestowed a name on their vehicle.
On October 2nd, we’re celebrating “National Name Your Car Day”. No, really. This day honors those who have given a name or nickname to their car, truck, van, and even iron horse. No two vehicles are alike, which means there are plethora of names to be given.
For this week’s episode, we’ll be playing tracks from video games that have vehicles with special names or nicknames: a futuristic racer and its bounty hunger, a crazy clown and his ice cream truck, and a Marine vehicle worthy of a Master Chief. We also have covers and remixes to follow these original tracks.
Sit in, buckle up, and prepare to hit the road…
