Have you ever named your car?

[Kendra]

I was wondering…has anyone here ever named any of his/her cars? The first car that I ever drove was a golden-colored Dodge Dart. She was appropriately named Trusty Rusty. I also had an ‘86 red Buick Somerset, which I called my Little Red Somerset. She was named after Princes’ song “Little Red Corvette”. Strangely enough, my current car that I have had for over five years still hasn’t been named despite my efforts. However, I do call her Stupid Car when she’s not running right! :D

I’d like to here your car names!

k~~

[RubyMutt]

I call my car 'Echo', but only because it's a Toyota Echo. It even has it's own song! 'Echo' by Trapt :D heh heh

My first car didn't have a name. It was just referred to as 'My Car' or 'Lindsey's Car'. I'm so unoriginal.

[CountryWolf07]

My Honda Civic is red.. and it's a 94', so.. its name is Spitfire.. LOL

[Denyce]

Our burgandy Saturn is Rosie

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

My mom's old icky station wagon Taurus thingy was named the Barney-mobile... it was the exact color of Barney.. what was she thinking?!?!?

[Nomilynn]

my car's name is Carl. I drive a Monte Carlo.. hehe I'm a dork :p

[carole]

Yes I named her emma, she is a green teal madza lantis sports hatchback, the only decent car we have owned, so she deserved a name I think.

My Jeep Liberty Sport is named MiniBarb simply because my friend Barbara has the same one, except a regular liberty. Same color and everything.

[Karen]

All my cars have had names. First car that was my own was Bill the Car, named after Bill the Cat. (Hint: never name a car after a cartoon character that's died more than once.) At his demise, someone made up a poem for him: Bill lived, Bill died, nobody cared, nobody cried. :( Next was Hal - it was a Comet! Won't bore you with the whole list, but ...

My current car, our 2003 Honda CRV, dark green, is Turtle! My sister's car is named Silver, and while it IS that color, it's named Silver after the famous horse, so she can say "hey, ho Silver, awayyy!!!"

[Amber]

My dad calls our old truck "Old Blue" Hint Hint IT"S BLUE & OLD!!

[magcpen]

Yes, my stepmom's Blue Hyondai (sp?) Santa Fe is Pippi. :)

[wolf_Q]

My car is either "The Old Granny Car" or "Sparky the Gutless Wonder!"

[Twisterdog]

Of COURSE I name my cars! I love my cars!

My Chevy Camaro is named Gwedo. (It's a long story.)

My Geo Prism is name The Prison, because that's what my son thought is was called when he was a toddler. He told his daycare teacher, "My mommy got a new car and it's a prison!" ;)

I used to have a Mazda Miata, named Miata Not Have Bought It. (My dad named it.) ;)

My latest car is a VW New Beetle named Ringo. :D I LOVE that car!




My Jeep Liberty Sport is named MiniBarb simply because my friend Barbara has the same one, except a regular liberty. Same color and everything.

Those are very cute. If I ever got an SUV (which I won't) that would be the one. I love those little round headlights, kind of like on my Beetle.

[Soledad]

My Toyota Corolla was named LuLu. She was great. I miss her. :(

[Kfamr]

If I had a car, i'll name him/her Beatrice.

[Cheshirekatt]

My first car was a black 1976 Monte Carlo with red interior....it was huge! We always called it the Pimpmobile. :)

Then I had a crappy Sky Hawk for a while that we called the Sky Rat. It sucked.

Then a 1986 red Honda Civic hatch back....the best car ever! That was Zippy Wagon.

Now I drive a 1995 black Honda Del Sol and she's called Bad Kitty.

[popcornbird]

All 3 of our cars have names..........given by my brother and dad.......

The *oldest* 1993 minivan.............the *Donkey* :rolleyes:

The car is the *Stallion*

The SUV is the *Airplane*

:o

[AmberLee]

My current car is a Saturn. His name is C. K. Dexter Haven (after the Cary Grant character in "The Philadelphia Story".)

My previous car, the '85 Mercury Topaz that got totalled a few years back was my "Baby Boy".

For the life of me, I don't remember my previous car's name ... it was an orange and white Ford though...

[gini]

I have always named my cars.

Scotty the Highlander is my current reliable friend.

All of my friends call him Scotty.

[Kfamr]

Now I remember....

We call our gold car, "The gold car"
and when we had our silver car " the silver car".:p

We also call the fmaily business, "The Building".

[LoudLou]

My ver first truck was a '66 Chevy. My Dad got a great deal on Gray Bottom Paint (For Boats. Gauranteed not to grow algae or barnacles!) so we painted it Gray and called it "The Gray Ghost".

Then there was my old rust bucket Chevy truck... Hank. Hank was a tank and I miss him. Then there was Chevy truck #3 that was Blue Betty, and then there was my S10 that was Clyde.

My current vehicle is a Toyota Corolla her name is Nelly Bean. It's the very first "Car" I have ever owned and I love her to pieces!

[TheAntiPam]

My first brand-new car was a Honda Accord named "Jane Honda". My next car didn't get a name, I'm not sure why.

My current car, a red PT Cruiser, has recently been christened "Red Rhonda" because I like playing surfer music with the windows down and the sun roof open. Singing along to "Help me, Rhonda" by the Beach Boys does wonders for my mood!

Of course, PT Cruiser stands for "PetTalk Cruiser!" :D :D :D

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

I LOVE those PT Cruisers - all the glamour of a retro-looking "vintage" style car with the convenience and reliability of a new car!!!
My best ever car was a VW VR6 - it had amazing power and handling- but I was always getting speeding tickets in it!!! The day we sold it I cried the whole way home, and I still miss it 3 years later!


I drive a Metallic ORANGE Hyundai Santa Fe (hard to miss - my son finds it VERY embarrassing! Haven't gotten around to naming it yet - anyone got any suggestions?????

[Cincy'sMom]

My first car was an '82 Olds Forenza, that was a 4-cylinder car running on three. You may have heard of the Olypiam Florence Griffith-Joiner, or, Flo-Jo? My car was named as her opposite, No-Go!

After that I drove my parents full size Brown Dogde Ram Van, and called that the Big Brown Box ( that was before everyone wanted to "race the van"!)

I never named the Mustang or the Corsica, and not my truck, the first car I ever bought myself is most often known as, Stupid-truck-is-acting-up-again!

[pitc9]

My very first car was a 1979 Olds Omega.... it was SWEET!!!
All my friends just called it "The Omega"

Then I had a Cavalier named "Sequecha"
Now I have a Camaro named "Roxanne" and a Chevy Blazer named "Babe" My friend has a Grand Am Named "Spike" (after Spike from Buffy) and before that she had a 92 Dodge Shadow named "Pixie" and her boyfriends new Pathfinder is "Adam"

I'm so glad to hear so many people name there cars! My hubby thinks I'm NUTS!!!!!

[isis]

My grandmom named her car Buba.:p

We call our cars The van and The blazer.My dads truck is just dads truck.:p

[mugsy]

The only car I ever named was my first car which was a white 1980 Chevette and I named her Cleo. That was the only car that had enough personality to be named! lol

[Tonya]

We have a 98 civic that we call the "rice rocket".

Our 2001 GMC Sierra doesn't have a name, but it deserves one! I love that truck.

Mike's motorcycle is nicknamed "The Mistress"

Yup! My previous car was an old second hand one. My kids called it "mommy's tractor' and I called it my "bolleke" (sweet little ball)

[Samantha Puppy]

Mine's Millie, named after my grandmother who died about 6 months before I bought the car.

[stacwase]

My husband's minivan is "The Geekmobile".

My big dumb truck is "The Beast"

An ugly white car we used to have was "The Marshmallow"

[Cataholic]

Yes, I have. Originally, the name was First National Bank of Cincinnati. NOW? It is MINE, MINE AND MINE OF CINCINNATI!:D

[Uabassoon]

My truck is named Samantha, but I call her Sam for short. My last car was called the Grandmamobile because it was my grandmothers old car, it was a huge mercury Grand Marquis, and it you coverd up the rquis it spelled Grand Ma.

[carrie]

My husband came home with a white "thing" that had four wheels not so long ago. He said it was a car. I love my husband and so chose to believe him. He said that he had paid £50 for it and I laughed for many minutes. This "car" has not failed to start on any morning that it has been called upon, be it icy, rainy or sunny. My husband, bless, calls it the "Millenium Falcon". (A reference to a really shabby space ship that just keeps on going - Star Wars, I think?)

[Kendra]

Wow!! Thanks everyone for replying! I’ve enjoyed all of your posts.

I forgot to mention Eddie. He is our Ford Explorer named after the beginning of his license plate number. Since his name hasn’t really caught on, I suggested to my husband that we should rename him Ready Eddie.

For Ally Cat’s Mommy – how about naming your orange Sante Fe Pumpkin?

I also had a boat named No Regrets. I called her Deep in Debt, No Regrets. Another boat we had was named Transition.
-I bet boat names could make a whole new thread!

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

Hi Kendra,

OK - the orange Santa Fe is now officially called PUMPKIN!!!!:D

[Cookiebaker]

Our first car was an '87 Honda Civic, and we called it the "CLH" which stood for "Cute Lil Honda" :)

My current car is a '98 Dodge Stratus and we named it the Dusty (tho' I totally don't remember why)
