    My car has been dubbed "The Car".
    For example:

    MY FRIEND "You want a drink?"
    ME "No. I drove The Car"
    (not that I drink and drive in my other cars but I will NOT take a sip when the FCar is out)

    What do name your car?
    Maybe a picture as well.

    Cheers!

    The 328 never picked up a name, although I sometime refer to it as The Italian.

    However, the new Fiat has already been dubbed "Luigi" by others in the household, and I fear it will stick.

    For me it's "the truck" 04 Mazda pickup, "the car" 87 Ferrari Mondial, "the bike" 93 BMW R100R, or "the Eos" my wifes VW commuter. I know many people who do and I consider it weird but I don't allow it to keep us from being good friends. My buddy has named his Ducati and it means a lot to him but I call it "your bike"

    I have referred to my car as a her from time to time even though it is considered a warrior by me. I guess my car is a female warrior.

    Guess I'm the only cheesy car namer: I named my 348 "Tess" after her older and more experienced sister. I just had to honor the TR somehow as it was my childhood dream.

    It's a huge relief to know I'm not the only strange one around here. I don't have a Ferrari, but I do have names for my car including the rest of the cars we own.

    I have a 2009 MINI Cooper S. It's pepper white (sort of like a creme for those who don't know) with a black roof and black mirror caps. I named it "Oreo."

    We have a 2003 Jeep Wrangler Sahara that is a slate green with a taupe top. It's a 5-speed manual so I had to include "stick" somewhere in the name. We have a little trout fish antennae ornament on it so I named the Jeep "Fish stick."

    We have a 2008 Lexus RX-350 which I named "Lexi."

    Finally, we have a 1999 Ford F-250 Super Duty Turbo Diesel Crew Cab. Our last name is "Folk" and we wanted to tie that in with Ford (since they both start with "F") so during a road-trip, we came up with the name "8-F". This means there are 8 "F"s in the name. Full name: Folk F****** Family Four-wheeling Four-door Ford For Fun"

    :eek:

    I'm strange I know.

    BTW, here is a photo of "Oreo"

    I don't but my GF used to name them. She named my 246 Dino GT "Fellini". I could never call it that (to me, it was always "the Dino"). But, she liked it so I let her.
