Do you name your cars, if so what have you named them?
-
I've named mine after Immortan Joe's "wives" in Fury Road.
My first one was yellow and ancient so had quite a short life expectancy (a 2003 Suzuki Ignis, bought in 2020) so it became Splendid.
Next a white Fiat Panda, The Dag.
Now I have an electric in silver (I didn't have a choice of colour) so I decided to sort of break the pattern and named it Ms. Giddy after the teacher of the "wives".
Hopefully the next one will be red and will be called Capable.
Trying to think of an appropriate vehicle to name "Toast the Knowing"

The naming scheme we followed, is based on the first letter of the car's brand—so for example, a Volvo gets a name starting with 'V', like Vincent.
Anyone else done/do this? If so, what was your car + name + naming scheme?
My Truck is named Earle.
My wife’s car is name scarlet.
My jetski is named Blue Five.

1970 Chevrolet Impala: Liberty (I bought it from a guy in Liberty, KY).
1997 Nissan 200SX SE-R: Dot (It was Pacific Blue)
2003 Acura TL: Sally (Generic name for a generic car)
2014 Camry LE: Pearl (It was Cosmic Mica Gray which gave the car a pearlescent sheen).
I currently have a 2019 Camry Hybrid XLE, but have yet to name it. I'm leaning toward "Betty", because the car has so many warnings, alarms, and notifications that I feel like I'm being bitched at when I drive it.
I have owned several cars over the years that I never named. My absolute favorite car I've ever owned was a 1985 Corolla GT-S that I raced in Pro Solo for a few years and it never received a name. The next car I owned was a 1992 Sentra SE-R and it never got a name either. Also had a 1969 Chevelle that I drag raced in my teen years, but no name there.

I name my bicycles.
Steely Fran is my touring and every day ride (she's a Salsa Vaya, a steel-frame gravel bike)
Moon Unit is my fat-tire bike for snow, dirt, and rockhopping fun.
These are both excellent names. A+

wrote on last edited by [email protected]A couple years ago I had a neighbor named Patrick, and although we didn't have assigned parking at my apartment, we all tended to gravitate to the same spot regardless if others were available, and I parked next to Patrick's car nearly every everyday.
Wife starts calling our car "SpongeBob" cuz it's always next to Patrick.
To this day, as we're doing things like leaving a store forgetful of where we parked, she'll say something like "where's SpongeBob?"

My current car is named the Goose, I had never named one before. No particular reason, but I got goose license plate holders and a goose with a knife sticker on the side of the mirror to embellish the ensemble. Still need a good goose to put in the back

No real naming scheme, mostly just stupid names because they're funny, though a couple names have been roughly related to the car to which they belonged.
- Pobjoy
- Probably Jessie (yes, "probably" is part of the name)
- Probably Jenny
- My Boy Blue
- Winona
- Jules

My cousin had a 1988 Dodge minivan with plastic covered seats and no AC. She called it "Big Ralf"

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Any name that seems to fit the character of the car. In hindsight, based on personifying the car's flaws.
One was a Saturn SL2 that had a leaky exhaust, sometimes hesitated to start, and the automatic transmission shifted aggressively. Oscar, because it seemed grouchy all the time.
Another was a manual transmission Volkswagen Passat 2.0 with a tiny turbo and some neat safety features that still worked, including automatically holding the brakes for a hill start to prevent rolling backward. Not particularly fast, but once it got going it just kept accelerating up through the gears, as if rising to a challenge. I named it Walter, it just seemed to fit.
My current car is a 2014 Ford Focus with the "bad" transmission. It needs to either go or stop, asking it to accelerate too slowly burns up the clutches in a hurry, thus the terrible reputation for the dual clutch automatic. The harder I accelerate, the better the gas milage, up until it starts spinning the tires.
Idk what to call this one.

We have a Toyota we call Plavalaguna because of the paint color, and a Volvo we call Portia because we thought it was funny.

I had a murdered G37s named Stella. Was a fun time in life. Happy not to have a car at all now.
