"Grand Nash!"

[RED LS1]

I know this topic has been done a million times but heres my take on it. Also, forgive me if any "Actual GN Owners" do this (I'd be surprised if they do)

I know people refer to GN's as Montes and all that stuff but this one drives me insane.

My annoying neighbor who acts like a car guy but just plain doesn't have a clue comes out yesterday and tells me this story about how his friend had a "Grand Nash!" His "Nash was so fast that it would burn the tires for miles." One day they were driving his "Nash".......lol

I hope you get the idea. I have never once heard an acual GN/T owner refer to them as "Grand Nash's or Nash's one time. I have know hundreds of GN owners dating back to the mid 90's.

Does this bother anyone else?

doesnt bother me... its all about "T" s not GN s when i get to discussing these cars.....but yes i have heard the nash term thrown around a lot

 

[Rodney87GN]

I'd rather my car be called a Grand Nash than a Grand Am....yes that has happened before

I've heard a million,especially when I'm a G-body defender.

-"Cutlass's are for cheezy lowriders"
-"had a friend with a Hurst Olds,man that thing was crazy" me: thats def a 16 second car, "what,really?"
-"why would you want to buy an '86,I thought the 87's blah blah"
-"can you imagine that car with a 454 in it?"
-"man those Malibu's are fugly, fix one up are you kidding?"
-"A El Camino reminds me of a Centaur"

I've been lucky so far with the name. But I have had NUMEROUS people ask if it's still a V6 with the hood popped open...

Mostly, people call my car a Regal. So you guys are ahead of the game if you ask me!

 

[longball]

ex-GF called it a 'National', never used the word 'Grand'............

I once heard a guy I knew refer to them as grannies

 

[ravege]

I've been having the reverse of the typical GN naming issues since getting my car. People would say "Nice Grand National" and I'd say, "No, its not a Grand National, its a blacked out T". After several confused looks I now say "Yeah, thanks".

I actually have a non-car guy friend who says grand nash... I've corrected him once or twice so I suppose he does it to bug me... I pick on his stupid cars all the time...
