Have you ever named your cars?

[sakabatou]

My family has. Our current cars are called Adam (Corolla) and James May.

We've also had the White, Beige, Blue and Black Crappers. Lil' Greenie and maybe one or two I don't remember.

[RedCloud]

1. My Rodeo was "The Lion of I-95"

So long my pal!

[kalli007]

2. I had a black 1998 Honda Accord Coupe that me and my

friends named the "Night Rider". I wish I had never traded that car in, I still have dreams about it!

[PuffedMica]

3. I had Ronda the Honda for a few years

I also had a Clyde and the Millennium Falcon.

[Demoiselle]

5. Ah yes, and if Ronda Fleming had married Henry Fonda and

acquired your car, it would be known as Ronda Fonda's Honda. (I made that one up a long time ago, so it's clear I've been really silly for many years.)

[Tikki]

4. Missy....

My 1989 Camaro...small 6 and a stick...she never took me to the side of
the road.
She had over 250,000+ miles on her when she finally rested.
I drove her 110 miles rt weekdays for 3 years when I was attending University..

First time I drove that route after we retired her I teared up at every landmark
I remembered driving by with her.


Tikki
ps the first car I bought with my credit, alone.:)

[Zorra]

6. All of them. nt

[Bake]

7. Back in the late 70s, my family had two named vehicles

The first was a 67 Chevy Bel-Air station wagon. On my 16th birthday I got a key to it. We called it the "Shit Wagon." Although, in fairness, many good times were had in the SW.

The second was my brother's Opel Kadet, also a station wagon. He named it the DRUT. Think about it. D-R-U-T.

:rofl:

8. I'm about to. I'm open to suggestions :)

Nissan Juke, 2011, Sapphire black.

Right now I'm thinking:

1.- Liberty

2.- Cerberus

3.- Chido

4.- ?

[siligut]

11. Cerberus seems perfect

Hadn't seen the Juke before, dynamite looking car.

[Xipe Totec]

12. Yea, I'm liking it.

It's a wicked cool car; with all wheel drive it grips the road like a bulldog.

:hi:

[one_voice]

9. We call our truck...

big husky.

[RebelOne]

10. Nope. But I named my bicycle Sylvester when I was a kid.

That way I could say Hi, Ho, Sylvester instead of Hi, Ho Silver, since I was a Lone Ranger fan and did not have a horse.

[eShirl]

13. my first (cheap used) car, The Antelope, after the ship in "Barrett's Privateers" sea chanty

Oh, the year was 1778, HOW I WISH I WAS IN SHERBROOKE NOW!
A letter of marque came from the king,
To the scummiest vessel I'd ever seen,

God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers.

Oh, Elcid Barrett cried the town, HOW I WISH I WAS IN SHERBROOKE NOW!
For twenty brave men all fishermen who
would make for him the Antelope's crew

God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers.

The Antelope sloop was a sickening sight,HOW I WISH I WAS IN SHERBROOKE NOW!
She'd a list to the port and her sails in rags
And the cook in scuppers with the staggers and the jags

God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers.

On the King's birthday we put to sea, HOW I WISH I WAS IN SHERBROOKE NOW!
We were 91 days to Montego Bay
Pumping like madmen all the way

God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers.

On the 96th day we sailed again, HOW I WISH I WAS IN SHERBROOKE NOW!
When a bloody great Yankee hove in sight
With our cracked four pounders we made to fight

God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers.

The Yankee lay low down with gold, HOW I WISH I WAS IN SHERBROOKE NOW!
She was broad and fat and loose in the stays
But to catch her took the Antelope two whole days

God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers.

Then at length we stood two cables away, HOW I WISH I WAS IN SHERBROOKE NOW!
Our cracked four pounders made an awful din
But with one fat ball the Yank stove us in

God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers.

The Antelope shook and pitched on her side, HOW I WISH I WAS IN SHERBROOKE NOW!
Barrett was smashed like a bowl of eggs
And the Maintruck carried off both me legs

God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers.

So here I lay in my 23rd year, HOW I WISH I WAS IN SHERBROOKE NOW!
It's been 6 years since we sailed away
And I just made Halifax yesterday

God damn them all!
I was told we'd cruise the seas for American gold
We'd fire no guns-shed no tears
Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier
The last of Barrett's Privateers.

[struggle4progress]

14. "Ya fuggin heap of smokin junk metal!" *kick-tire*

hobble around with broken toe

[nolabear]

15. Oh yeah. I've had V'ger (Star Trek I--it was a Voyager), Lars, Indigo

Fifi (first talking car, "A door is ajar." We argued with her--"A door is NOT a jar!") and can't for the life of me figure out what to call my new little cream colored Mini Cooper. I though of "Buttermilk" after Dale Evans' horse, but she turned out so badly (Dale, not the horse) I just couldn't do it.

Suggestions anyone?

[freshwest]

44. Vanilla Latte?

[eppur_se_muova]

47. Filly Vannili? Officer White?

(Off. White for short ... )

[Bombero1956]

16. my car is a red fire Mustang GT

I call Capt. Scarlet, I always liked that show when I was a kid. My blue 1999 Mustang GT is called Babe after Paul Bunyan's ox.

[Codeine]

17. My Corolla is called the Fuckmobile.

An ex-girlfriend tried to carve the word "Fucker" into the hood with a chunk of asphalt but spaced her letters poorly and only had room for "fuck." :rofl: Dead serious.

[Codeine]

18. "James May"?

It must be awfully slow.

[sakabatou]

19. No, it's not slow, unlike the Captain

It's a pun on how my mom drives.

[name not needed]

27. That or they somehow got a Dacia Sandero stateside.

[JCMach1]

20. We always do... current 4x4 is Bubba Gray (it fits)

before that it was a red Peugeot named Satine after the Moulin Rouge character... also fitting as she wasn't so healthy... ever.

[bigwillq]

21. YES!

I've named every one of mine. :)

[txwhitedove]

22. Marigold, the VW bus years ago. The Fish Bowl, a gold Pacer that

embarrassed my kids but I wish we still owned. And, WhiteGhost was my son's first truck, a big noisy hunk of an old truck.

[rrneck]

23. Used to call

a 72 Monte Carlo "the Antichrist" to piss off the fundies. And in honor of "The Gods Must Be Crazy".

Then there was "Wonder Van" because every time I got in it I wondered if it would get me there. Piece of shit.

[kwassa]

24. The Rustang

I had some corrosion problems.

and a black Plymouth Volare station wagon became the Nun-mobile after a friend described it as the kind of a car that nuns would drive.

[houstonintc]

25. Last car earned the title "Deer Slayer"..

Previous owner hit three deer, and I hit another two. Dam car was a champ but a magnet for the deer in the area.

[Throd]

26. Oldsmobina

[HopeHoops]

28. Most of them. Right now, only the Sable wagon has a name - The Bullet.

My late father-in-law gave it that name when he owned it - mostly because it is silver.

[BillStein]

29. My husband has a blue Honda

That he calls "Hyacinth" partly because of the color and partly after the character on Keeping Up Appearances.

I call my car "GM". It styands for "Geriatric Magnet" because if there's any driver over 85 on the road, the front end of my car will find it and adhere.

[Phentex]

30. I drive Super Grover now. Have driven Kermit, Pinkie and the White Whiz...

the White Whiz was my mom's Comet. :)

[ohiosmith]

31. Just one.

[NV Whino]

32. My cars have had various names

depending on my mood and/or their state of repair.

I have a friend who has named her white Ford truck Blanche. It's such a natural that we all now refer to the truck as Blanche.

[Common Sense Party]

33. Just my first one, a '72 VW Beetle. I called it "Beelzebug."

It was a beast.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

34. Hmm let's see...

Atilla the Hyundai

My Escort named Jester

My Taurus is named Bluto.

Had a GTO we called The Moat.

So, yeah. :D

[freshwest]

45. Very. very good

[pscot]

35. Would "piece of shit"

be considered a name?

[whistler162]

36. only if @&^%R^^^&&* counts as a name!

[AngryOldDem]

50. Yep, I would think so.

Mine was Piece O'Shit.

[whistler162]

37. I call him George and I hug him, I pet him, and I squeeze him!

[quickesst]

38. Only my current toy....

1998 Dodge Ram SS/T Limited. With extras:evilgrin:

MEAN MISTREATER{gfr}
<>

Thanks
quickesst

[Scout]

39. yes!

Renault Alliance named Renee Renault

Ford Escort named Emmeline Escort
Ford Escort wagon named Esteban

Jeep grand cherokee named Geena Jeep
Jeep grand cherokee named Jeeves

[freshwest]

43. A lotta alliteration alright.

[Old Troop]

40. Yes. My kids named every car we owned until they grew up and

moved out. They still refer to them by name when reminiscing about their childhood.

[LiberalEsto]

41. My 1966 Dodge Dart

Blue Angel

And it was an angel.

[freshwest]

42. Yes. This is only a partial list, in order of their appearance, not manufacture:

'Queen Jane Approximately' (1953 Chevy) which I loved but I wasn't driving it, either.

'The Beast' (1966 Olds) which had a top speed of 180 miles a hour per the gauge and guzzled gas like a Sherman tank.

'Still Crazy' (1974 Honda) because of how I drove.

'Where's My Breakfast, Dammit!' (1980 Mercury) because the final price was over a hundred dollars more per month than promised and they refused to give me back my trade in.

'Harrison Ford' (1974 truck) because my kid loved Indiana Jones, it was a Ford, etc. It had two gas tanks and the gas needle moved as you drove. It threw a rod and died 20 miles from nowhere.

'Christine, The Demon Possessed' (1990 truck), which had computer problems, would smoke and die, or the lights go out while driving in the dark, but not in the daytime. It would act up and then the tow truck would come and take it to the shop. Once there it acted fine just to make me look the fool. It hated me and I feared it.

'White Trash' (1997 van) is my current ride, so as it falls apart bit by bit, I'm still grateful it's safe and can move on its own power.

[Cid_B]

46. My wife named my jeep D.T.

As in death trap... They don't get along...

[Aristus]

48. Oh heck yeah! But don't ever tell my wife!

My silver-and-black 1982 Datsun 280ZX: "The Silver Tyrant".

My 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser: "Gatsby".

My brand-new charcoal-gray Acura TL: "The Gray Monk".

[eppur_se_muova]

49. After seeing "The Love Bug", we had to call our old car "Herbie" ...

Talk about basic transportation. I think there were only four knobs on the dashboard, and one was the cigarette lighter.
