    I wonder if the same trick would work with a Ferrari 599? That would be more appropriate for an Italian wine dealer.

    Late at night, when the burly locals had all passed out on their lawns, Todd the Small Town Arkansas Gay Florist stared out his window, dreaming of the perfect delivery vehicle that would allow him to cruise in the manner he knew he deserved, yet would maintain a certain level of credibility with the dangerous rednecks that seemed to swarm around him. If only, he pined through a haze of bitter memories and chardonnay, someone, somewhere could hear his secret prayer and Camino-ize a sexy sexy Jaguar. If only...

    what determines whether it gets -amino or -chero added onto the end?

    @vulber: It's actuall -amino, -cerho, or -ampage, and the suffix is determined by the quickest relation to, GM, Ford, or Chysler, respectively.


    So for instance, a Mitsubishi Eclipse made into a pickup would be an Eclipsepage as Mitsu has a long running relationship with Chrysler.

    @Skunky: This is a problem we'll have to deal with eventually, but considering Subie doesn't have subsidiaries it's not something that comes up often. It is conceivable for a 9-2X to one day be granted a truck bed, or the maybe-forthcoming Toyota/Subaru Coupe could be truckulated, but then that brings its own set of issues because the Toyopet Crown Pickup exists.

    @Ben Wojdyla: I believe that the general rule is if you're not quite sure, just go with -amino. Or, as @pauljones: says, it's about how it sounds.

    @Ben Wojdyla: PS - is that the very front end of a Bentley Arnage on the right hand edge of the photo?


    A couple of questions spring to mind?


    1)Is this a gathering of -aminos, cheros, and -ampages

    2)What is the likelihood that the Bentley has been ____-ed?

    3)Which suffix is appropriate for a Bentley in this case?

    4)On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the highest, what would be the awesomeness factor of such a vehicle?

    @ThreeLitre: That's a damn good question. Currently, Bentley is owned by VW, which makes it logically associated with the Rabbit pickup, but that feels wrong, oh so wrong... anyone have other suggestions on a suffix for Bentley-caminos?


    (btw, it should be obvious by now, but the default, generic Jalop-term suffix for a a truckanized car is '-camino" (if you don't agree with this, you're probably a communist/terrorist))

    @Ben Wojdyla: In reading this string of comments I came up with some names that need cars to go with them:


    Silver Seraphamino

    Veyronchero (my personal fav)

    Gallardamino

    Atomchero

    Smarat (fortwo)

    Tatamino

    @Ben Wojdyla: Whilst I agree with everything you have said so far I think one possible guideline that could be used when subsidiary relationships do not exist (or are ambiguous), would be to use a phonetic scheme:


    If the car's natural name ends in a consonant (or a useful shortening of the natural name ends in a consonant) the -chero suffix would tend to sound better.


    If the car's natural name ends in a vowel (or a useful shortneing of the natural name ends in a vowel), delete the trailing vowel and replace with the -amino suffix.


    I would put forward that the -rat and -aja suffixes are irregular and would lend themselves to use only in subjectively appropriate circumstances (it would be hard to pin down phonetic rules to govern their use, so use your best judgment and use them only when the phonetic structure of the natural name allows for them to sound appropriate).
