My whole family names their vehicles. For a time my sister had a car called Silver - she had to explain to people that yes, it was colored silver, but it was named after the horse, so she could tell it, "Hi, Ho, Silver, away!"

My brother's pick-up is Bumble the Abominable Snow Truck - 'cause he's a great big white sturdy truck, and does well in the snow - important because he lives on a big hill in snow country! Bumble is a much prettier truck than the Yellow Peril was, which (I know he's off of Pet Talk for the next 24 hours, staying at Dad's) was kind of the color of an over-ripe banana, complete with brown (rust) spots.

Turtle is named that because he is green, and wouldn't do well flipped on his back. He's my first higher-off-the-ground vehicle (Honda CRV), so the name was initially a reminder to go a bit slower on corners than I used to do.

Back when I was in college, I had Bill the Car (named after Bill the Cat) a multi-colored/textured beast, and then I had Hal, which was a Comet!
