Name, anybody....? And slogan....?

If you want a logical explanation, here ou are, this is from mocpages, a made-up minigarage rally:

"The 2009 Sandy Dune Championship is world-famous. The challenge is not for wimps, but beginners have entered too. This challenge is in Dakar, and crosses more than half of sandy Senegal to the checkpoint on the border, where it crosses through Mali, slowly descending, and then the challenge's road run spirnts across the Cote D'ivoire, where the dusty, off-roady road run ends on the beach of San Pedro. With this road run at over 600 miles all the way, is not very long, but is one of the world's hardest runs ever recorded, with sand dunes reaching over 50 feet and steepness of up to 60 degrees. As I said, this run is not for wimps.... And what they drive is not easy to, either. As you see, two of the cars entered are TorQ and Flamey.... Powerful little dune beasts, charging up slopes with speeds up to 80 mph, their sixes revving.... And these cars a re made for this, made for the rough ground of Africa's beautiful dunes. Therefore, we advise you, don't take a dune buggy or a Dakar truck here unless you're pretty confident....."

This is a truck for that rally. It needs a name, and a team slogan.... Here are my suggestions:

Name: Lavaflow 6

Slogan: "What's red, white, and charges up sandy dunes? Obviously..."
