Miss seeing bus names in posts

One feature I miss seeing is the names users give their buses, in the profile block accompanying posts. Example below (former position of bus name highlited):

Some folks have some pretty catchy names out there and it's fun to see 'em at a glance.

Mine is named 'DEV RANDOM'..

for any Unix Geek writing code you call up a file "/dev/random" to get a random number for your computer program...

otherwise the name means the RANDOM travels of a DEVeloper..

alas my random travels... I write some of my best code on the road... the bus has a software and hardware dev lab for my cloud telecom solutions on board at any given time..

I didnt see a place to put a bus name in my profile though..

Mine is Heavy Fuel, both a pun and named after a Dire Straits song, two for one!

Mines just called Nowhere Fast.
One because we go 65 mph. And two, a really cool bus from an indie surfing movie was called that. You could only tell what it was called if you paused the movie on the bus scene.

That would be cool.
Didn't think about it like that.
My bus is the Jolly Roger. That's why I used it for my title.
If we go back to what SKUNKY BUS brought up I would have to change my heading name and I don't know what that would be because I don't think most of the names/titles I have earned over the years at work (cause that's about all I do) would be an appropriate header name/title?
I knew east coast was ROLL YOUR OWN but I never thought about the others? I just assumed somewhere in the U.S. Was somewhere?
Sorry.
