I don't know.... maybe this is girl thing or a Cali Chick thing... but is seems the people I know have named their cars.....

does your car have a name?


my first car, a 74 Volvo, was dubbed the Urban Assault Vehicle by me... I drove it like one too circa 85-90  ;D
my next car was  1990 Nissan Pickup truck.... no frills on that baby it was just an engine and a shell, I called him Scooter.... he was red
my current car, a 98 CRV - I got him in 2001... I call him Oscar (as filthy as I keep him he's aptly named! but honest the name came first)


;D

No...that would be stupid!  :P

not true....I have a friend who named her car Shamus.

another one who named hers Skeeter


one who calls hers walter...

I just usually call ours a "piece of shyt". :P

When I moved to St. Louis I bought an old ass Oldsmobile. The sonofabitch runs perfect, never had a problem with it. After a series of incidents, it too was christened the UAV, not by me, but by my passengers. I hit a car from behind at 45 MPH and it didn't even stall, a truck drove in to the side of the car and it took about 10 minutes with a hammer and a wood block to fix most of the damage, I park it by brail and it's never had a problem.

Now I also have a behemoth truck, a real old Ford (older than the UAV) which is practically indestructible. It's the B.A.Tmobile. The Big Ass Truck-mobile.

I recently purchased a little sports convertible, but as I don't have it road worthy yet, it doesn't have a name yet, my other project car is nowhere near road worthy and as such also doesn't have a name.. of course.. it doesn't have an engine, transmission, rear seat..etc..etc.  ;D

My car does have a name ...

"PIECE OF SH!T"

:D

Growing up the family had a green station wagon we called the "Green Bomb".

My Dad has a light blue pickup he calls "Why the hell did I buy this?"

I call the jeep "damn piece of crap".

I just usually call ours a "piece of shyt". :P


No no...it's "f**king piece of f**king sh*t" :P :P

At least it gets us places.

This is a "Champ" lookalike.  I don't have a good pic of her, so this one looks like her, but we have running boards. She is by far the best vehicle I have ever owned.  I've had her for 9 years-got her when Matthew was 6 months old.  I really need a new vehicle, because I have put a TON of miles on her, but we just can't part with Champ.  She's been SO good to us!  And luckily, somehow still barely a scratch on her. Matthew has allowed me to get a new car, but we have to keep Champ forever.....when I do get something else, I just want a new Explorer, or maybe an Expedition.  Maybe that pretty sage green color....

my first truck as a 93 s 10/sonoma/ford/jimmy/blazer and other gmc and ford parts we called him the franken @$&^ lol and my car  now is a 1999 vw gti her names is linda my fiancee julz named her. dont no how we came up with the name but thats her name

No...that would be stupid!  :P

;D  Back in the day I worked campus security before becoming a police dispatcher.... one day I wrote a parking ticket I listed the make of the car correctly but for model I put POS.... I was going to be admonished for it but when I showed my boss the car she let it go...  ;D

;D Just like the old Plymouth Acclaim my mother used to drive!

When I was in high school I drove my great-grandma's butter yellow, 1983 Plymouth Reliant.  I called it my Bad Mother F*^$@# after Samuel L. Jackson's Wallet in Pulp Fiction.  I also thought it really fit the character of the car.

My plant is named Pierre.

Didn't you have a name for that beat to hell Camry you used to drive?

My one and only car was a brown Ford Escort and I was going to call it 'Newkie' after Newcastle Brown my favourite drink but it was a complete pile of sheeshe and used to do this weird thing where you would feel the accelerator peddle go down under your foot when you were applying no pressure to it, really frightening actually so I called it 'Christine' after the Stephen King book about the possessed car!

My Mum's car was called Daffy because the number plate had the letters D- FEH and it was bright yellow.

I hos'n ntisk -o mun in

dammit.

nobut it did have a vanity tag.


I remember what that was, have you got that on your girl-mobile now?

mine doesn't have a name but Julie named her car 'Landon' 
I asked Lady Di & she said it was the young man's name in A Walk To Remember

^  Awww, that's cute!  I was talking to my Mom and brought up this thread to her and she reminded me that the first vehicle I named was my Grandparents' big Dodge van when I was about 6.  I named it "Idaho".

My name's Pierre (Peter) ....my plant's name is .....dead!

that's one of life's great mysteries...we don't remember!  ;D

that's one of life's great mysteries...we don't remember!  ;D
the answer to that mystery needs to be recalled

I have never given my car a name, and I had the same Honda for 17 years! I drove it to Washington DC, New York, Seattle, Toronto, Detroit, Chicago, Philly, Minneapolis, through the rockies twice, but never gave it a name

I've driven through the country in a car with no name
I've driven it in through snow and rain
But I never thought of giving it a name
and it died without any fame

la, la, lalalalala, la la la , la la.

I always thought "Goldfinger" or "Goldie" would be a good name for my car but I usually just call it "The Vic."

This one Italian guy who I used to work with always called me "Officer Al and his golden police car."  :D :D :D

I call it "THE GREEN MACHINE"

This is like my car 2005 Ford Focus Wagon.  I inherited it when my brother passed away, he loved this car, Sig bought it for him brand new, only brand new car he ever had.  So I call it Phil.

My first car was a silver 1985 Nissan Sentra. I called it my Silverado (not to be confused with the Chevy Silverado  :D ;D ;D ;D ). My second (and last car) was red 1987 Nissan Sentra. I never officially gave her a name-just always called her my baby. After about 5 years or so, it finally hit me, her name was Baby, as in "No one puts Baby in a corner."  I was Baby's first and last owner.

My first car was Eric the Escort.

Next car was an Austin Metro called Austin

Next was Jenny the Vauxhall Nova - number plate was J 45 ENN

Then we stopped naming cars

We call our van "Our New Toy."  ;D ;D ;D ;D  The funny thing, a couple of weeks ago when my brother & his wife were in town and we were visiting them, they said they drove by our house and saw "your new toy"-yup, they used those exact words.  :D ;D ;D ;D



Cat

No, but my music keyboard does!

My car's name is "Honda Civic" ;)

No, but my music keyboard does!


And what would that be?

My car's name is "Honda Civic" ;)


If you had a Chevrolet Monte Carlo, you could call it "Monte Carlos."  :D

My car's name is "Honda Civic" ;)


Ah, you have a german car...

Ah, you have a german car...


No actually, Italian

Hurry up you sonofabitch!


At least, that's what other drivers call it!
:D

Only girls name their cars.  I just don't get that!  :-\\

And what would that be?


It's name was Dustin.  ;D

Only girls name their cars.  I just don't get that!  :-\\


I beg to differ.

I call it "I can't believe it's still running" lately.  :o

This is a stock photo of a car like mine, i have a lot of affection for it but sometimes i refer to it, not entirely flatteringly, as the "applecart."

I also call my scooter "Maria," for complicated reasons.

I used to have an older Ford F250 that was named Tallulah by its first owner (second owner was my dad). Tallulah ended up with bad piston slap (had close to half a million miles on the body and frame, and 260k on a rebuilt big-block V8) and was reluctantly junked.

I'm in between cars now, but looking mainly at 70s-80s Buicks, Oldsmobiles, Cadillacs and Chryslers. That car certainly will be named.
