Need help with "large" references

[scottyb]

For possibly 20 years now, I have used the term "Buick" when making quick references to exaggerate "big" things.....like:

"Did you see that mole on her face, it was bigger than a Buick!"

Now that I own a Buick, I don't feel comfortable with this reference. I've tried using 'Oldsmobile', but it doesn't roll off the tongue as well. What should I do?

However, owning the car does come in handy sometimes:

"You want me to fix THAT old laptop? Let's just toss it in the parking lot and run it over with my Buick!"

I just use "52 Chevy"

"Like..... did you see that woman's forehead? It was bigger then the bumper on a 52 Chevy"
