      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 first car, my lovely Mazda 2. It was tiny but perfect for me. My friends called it a jellybean and that stuck until Bean just started being used. I loved that Bean so much.

        But I just got a new car and a friend of mine said it looks like a shoe. So now I have Shoe! Which I think is funny

          I think I'm particularly susceptible to pack bond with stupid stuff. I have pack bonded with a damn computer mouse at one point.

          it's the little things that make me happy.

                James. No particular reason.

                My other cars never had names, but I love this one to pieces and it goes like the clappers.

                  Only one of my cars has earned a name, otherwise its just "that shitbox"or "the daily"

                  My blue VW Golf project car I'm always tweaking, modifying and breaking because I'm not a mechanic, thus it often forgets how to car, and it has black and yellow accents. So it's been christened "Dory"

                    Is that with the Dual Clutch? If so, you could probably just get a new clutch if it's in good shape.

                    I did get a new clutch. It was a bad deal that turned out good.

                    Someone traded in the car with worn out clutches and 10k miles past the extended warranty. The clitches gave out on me only 2 days after I bought it, so the dealership replaced the clutches at no additional charge. I looked up how it should be driven, followed Ford's advice, and it's been driving great ever since

                      "car"

                      which inevitably becomes "piece of shit"

                          TIL: people name their cars. Honest question, unless you have several identical cars, why?

                          Ita just a nice guesture i think, like its something used everyday to get you from A to B. The car is a part of the family too, so it deserves a name ☺️

                            So are shoes 🙂

                            I think I only genuinely liked one, maybe two cars I ever owned. Typically it's just a necessary part of life and a massive waste of money, but it is exciting when it's new.

                              Volvo (V60CC) -> Swedish -> Viking

                              So it is called "Ragnar"

                                I've named all but one of my cars.

                                Spunky - 1986 Mazda RX-7
                                (Untitled) - 1997 VW Jetta
                                The Dirty Hooker - 2001 Ford Escort ZX2
                                Heidi - 1998 BMW M3
                                Yuki - 2004 Subaru Impreza Outback

                                I have Heidi and Yuki currently. 🤷‍♂️

                                  I just use the name they were given at the factory to avoid confusing them.

                                          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?
