HELP US NAME OUR CAR - CONTEST! --And the WINNER!
 |
Here I am - almost 40 years old, and I still don't have a name. Everyone just calls me 'the Unimog', or sometimes 'the mog'. So can you help me find a good name? It has to be something that fits though. I'm slow, but I'm strong, and I may be old, but I still have my looks. And I'm going to Africa for two years. Anyway, if you can think of a good name, why don't you enter in the car naming contest? The winner will get... well, the winner will get to name the car, but we may be able to come up with something else as well. |
The car naming contest has ended. We would like to thank all students that submitted a name.
<<< We have a WINNER >>>
Jared G. from Northampton Area Middle School,
Pennsylvania, USA
has WON by submitting the brilliant name...
TINY
The Tire Tracks team really liked the reason he gave for the name...
"reverse psychology."
Excellent work Jared! It's short and catchy, and we like the irony of it. We are very happy that the almost 40 year old Tire Tracks Mog now has a name!
We also had two runners-up...
*** In 2nd place, the name suggestion, 'Gari Mandjano, from Derick, D. B. Stamme's Christian Homeschool, in Illinois, USA. Derick gave an excellent reason for the name: The name means 'Swahili for "yellow car" NOTE: mandjano means yellow and gari means car - in Swahili the adjective comes after the noun.
*** In 3rd place, the name suggestion, 'big mother trucker,' from Brock at Northamption Area Middle School in Pennsylvania, USA. The team bred the feeling of excitement and described the Mog as it is, very, very big!
