Twin Oakers have a penchant for naming everything, including all of our communally-owned vehicles. By Valerie Renwick-Porter. [posted 23-Jan-2006]
No one has a personal vehicle while living here. Here's a list of our current vehicle names:
From our female icon theme:
- Indigo Girl (a blue car)
- Moon Unit (a silvery/gold truck)
- Betty Boop
- Lola
Puns on the word "car":
- Cari Krishna
- Escargot
Two of our vans:
- Vandrogyny
- Vanarchy
Other vehicle names:
- DragonWagon (greeny-blue station wagon)
- Navy Gravy (a tip of the hat to counter-culture icon Wavy Gravy) (a navy truck)
- Higher Yellow (reference to a Mao quote) (a yellow truck)
- Utofia (our tofu delivery truck)
- Viva Zapata (a nod to the Zapatistas)
- V-Eight (the last and punniest (it has a V8 engine) of our "beverage" series which included OJ and Cocoa, which were orange and brown vehicles)
- Blanche Whipple (white van)
- Ozone
- Jonathan Lesbian Seagull
