Does your car have a name?

I was wondering if I'm one of the only people that gives their car a name?

It's strange... the name usually comes to me during the first full wash/wax session...

With my 308,... the name is Rosalia...

Anyone else find themselves naming their car?

 

I recall another fellow recently introduced his 328 here as Roxanne. I am not sure I can go quite to the extreme of naming my car. We usually do have nicknames for our cars - my STI is the blubaru (certainly not the first one to call one that). Referring to "the Ferrari" sounds a bit pretentious, so I sometime just say "the red car" or "the 308."

 

Red Ferrari = Sophia
Citron Green MB C320C = Kermit
Capsian Blue MB SLK350 = Kaspar
Granite Audi A4 = Ms. Audi
Red Chevy 4x4 p/u = Big Red
Black Alfa GTV6 = Alfonse
Autumn Gold Chevy 4x4 p/u = New Truck
Maroonish S10 p/u = Old Truck

My first car, a little brown Spitfire, I named "Bridget". But since then haven't seemed to feel the need. I've been calling the 308 "The 308" not "The Ferrari" because, in my mind, it's a 308 first and a Ferrari second.

 

I had a 1954 Chevy p/u a long time ago named "lurch". The clutch was bad and I started off in granny gear at idle to get it going.

Big, Dumb, P.O.S., GT4, sitting-in-the-driveway?!

I like it!


I call mine "Giada" (JAH-duh)... My Corvette is "Emily."

 

8 outt'a 10 ain't bad!

PS: Good morning Aaron!

 

Ferrari is 'Ava'
Jeep is 'Clint'

Female friend coerced me into this. It wasn't my choice. Honest.

 

"Lurch" is a GREAT name for a truck.

I've never been able to imagine people's names for cars. I think of them more like (somewhat) faithful dogs. Only two cars I've had ever developed names, one was the generic "Oldsmobuick" a reference to it's anonymity from the movie "Fletch". The other was a Ford Festiva that we used to call "la Pinata" cuz it looked like it was strung up and repeatedly whacked by blindfolded children.

Mine is JOY cause that's all she gives me evrytime I drive her.

 

That's halarious. My wife says, "...that sounds like our old Pinto"

(755 FJP) I think I remember cars by the license number

 

Mine is now named "the money sponge". I even have the plates to prove it!

 

ALL of my cars have the SAME name....."money pit"

 

308 - Gina
84 Mustang GT - Max
Bicycles - Bruce & Sarah

We name all our cars. This is just a few. It has been a family tradition and quite the process when we pick it.

I don't name them but my wife does. Her choice for my '78 308 GTS: Fellini.

 

My Mondial is called "Monzer"




...but I guess you aleady knew that.

 

My other Fcar has a name. "The Explorer"

 

A friend of mine (I swear ) named my Subaru Veronica.

 

I call my Fcar, 'The Car'.

 

I named my 328 GTS "Clifford". It's red.

 

With all due respect, if you have a Y chromosome and still feel the need to name your car, well...................................................

 

my old motorcycle - Rhonda (yeah, she was a Honda)

my old Chevette - the 'vette (had a girl beg me to take her out when she heard I had a 'vette'. Was disappointed when I showed up in the Chevette! Served her right though.)

most of my cars have been named after the color.... the blue car, the green car, etc.

The 328 is affectionately called 'the little red car' or Isabella.

 

328 is "My Mystress".. When my Wife calls me and asks where I am I can Respond "im with my Mystress"...

 

red Mondial t Cab = Rachel
atlas grey Audi Allroad = Ms. Audi -----------
white GMC 4x4 p/u = Whitey
