Parker York and his 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser are a perfect example. “Nation, it’s almost like my twin,” he said, “it doesn't like to start in the mornings, but once it’s warmed up, it runs just fine!” When asked about her car Lana Weinstroer said, My car does everything a car's supposed to — it gets me there. Cars, as people, also earn certain nicknames — The Tank, The Box, The Land Roller, The Silver Bullet and Madeline are some of the better known nicknames.
