'cause you know you will. It'll be a tight fit behind your house, but you'll bury that sucker!
There are plenty of things we name but don't bury: towns, historical eras, festivals, foods
And plenty of things we bury but don't necessarily name: feces, trash, feelings
So it is perfectly rational to name a vehicle that will not personally be interred by its current owner.
I have it! Compromise!
Name your shovel!
