Do you name your cars? If so, what?

[propita]

My cars are male, and get names starting with "G."

My first car was a light green 1986 Buick Somerset--his name was Griffin. Everyone knew him by that name...co-workers, my grandmother, the mechanic.

My cars with Hubby were/are:

A dark green 1996 Pontiac Grand Am--his name was G'kar. Guess the source.

A white 1997 Chevy Malibu--his name was Grommit. Again, guess the source.

A light blue 2003 Toyota Highlander--his name is Galahad (Gally). Well, he's a highlander, he needed a highland-ish name.

A dark blue 2006 Toyota Camry Solara--his name is Gilgamesh. He's kinda a royal blue so he needed a royal name.

I prefer the names to fit the car in some way. None of my cars seemed like a "George" but if I get a funky-looking car, I'll probably go with "Grendel."

better hope you never get into an accident with someone driving Enkidu.

I certainly do. My cars are all female:
(From oldest to most recent)

1984 Ford Tempo - "The Funkmobile" (It was beige and had fuzzy dice and shag carpet)
1991 Plymouth Acclaim - "Rainmaker" (Wipers never worked, headlights would stop working randomly, brakes would fail once in a while, no airbag)
1993 Pontiac Grand Am SE - "Michelle the Gazelle" (I got my one and only speeding ticket in this car)
1996 Pontiac Grand Am GT - "Sweet Delilah" (I miss this car. She was fast, but got repo'd. Long story)
1987 Pontiac Grand Am - "Myrtle" (as in "The turtle". It was slow. Also, I hit a truck tire with this one)
1995 Chevrolet Beretta - "Teiharerriani" (I loved this car so very much)
1999 Monte Carlo LS - "Karrira" (Current car)

I have NEVER named my cars, aside from calling them the "Hillmobile."

^ Now I got this vision of you and hubby having this dialogue whenever you go driving:

You: Atomic batteries to power. Turbines to speed.
Hubby: Roger. Ready to move out.

I didn't start naming my car until the current one, but I'll also list my siblings' cars, too:

1990 Nissan Sentra -- Box
2004 Chevy Impala -- Jezebel
2006 Nissan Sentra -- Sofia

My 1969 Schwinn -- Serenity

 

[RandyS]

Not cars, but each of my wheelchairs have been named Enterprise. Since 1985, I've had four. The one I just got is named Enterprise-C.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I have named every computer I've owned "HAL".

 

[greenguy]

2003 Acura 3.2 TL Type S...his name is Fausto.

 

[Rek]

My computers name is "Data". But sometimes his name is "Fuck you fucker, work!" and other longer names riddled with swear words.

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

My cars have been female. My first car was Betsy, which was first just a place holder name until i thought of something better. I didn't so the name stuck. My current car's name is Sally.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

My current car's name is Sally.

Is it a Mustang?

 

[Ashu]

I don't drive but I do tend to name things so i doubt this would be an exception.

Is it nerdy that I named my calculator?

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

My current car's name is Sally.

Is it a Mustang?

Hell no. It's a Sentra. Sally Sentra.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Nobody uses Transformer names? For shame.

 

[Venardhi]

My 2000 Cougar is named Selina.

My '93 Grand Prix before her was simply called "Fuckin' peice of shit" most of the time.

 

[ares93]

used to call my -89 ford probe: "probie" but it was my 10 year old cousin who came up with it. it kind of got stuck since then.

my mother's astra H is called "dragon" for some reason and my fathers saab 9-3 is called sasha (licence plate is "ssh").

my favorite is my father's old volvo he had in the 80's. modified to run on some sort of gas. i think it was butane but i'm not sure. it was called "franky" from frankenstein

 

[Haggis and tatties]

She's sexy as hell, her name's Vanessa.
