Proposition.  please read and voice opinion
« on: January 06, 2004, 07:44:36 AM »
I'm proposing we start calling our rigs "Tractors"  
Reason being, Sidekick and Samurais are zuks, Trackers are Trackers,(or li'l chevy)  and the Sunrunners...well nobody really calls them anything.  But, "tractor" is a name given to a machinery that is basically built to go over everything, even without modification, like our rigs.  "Tractors" are not fast, neither are our rigs.  Built to last, work all day and play all weekend.  
See my friends, this way we could all say "Thats my tractor" without some unedumecated asking if its a sidekick when it's a tracker and vice versa, or asking what the hell an Asuna is.  

All in favour?
Any other good name suggestions welcome.

I like Trucklet more than tractor...I call my Sunrunner a Tracker cuz I just get a strange look when I say Sunrunner...total confusion if I call it an Asuna  ;)
