death cab for cutie

My last car was a Ford escape called 7 after seven of nine from Star Trek. I was feeling less creative when we got our current car, a tan C-Max, and it's just called Sandy.

Every gray car I have (always a hatchback) has been named "Vanship" after the flying vehicles in the anime Last Exile

It's just a nickname I know, I don't refer to the car like that to others

Little red hatchback: Elmo Blue SUV with a big, ugly nose: Gonzo

I normally name my cars their Model but, like, I won't say "The" prior to it. Neon was Neon. Aveo was Aveo. So, it's still a name but more a name in the Roach sense.

I named my 2007 Audi S4 Brunnhilde. She is my beautiful Valkyrie, though I rarely see her nowadays.

My spouse had a suped up Challenger named Gurtrude. It was a funny reaction when people saw it for the first time. They expected a beater.

I have named some of the cars I have owned.

1970 Chevy Impala: Liberty. I purchased it from a guy that lived in Liberty, KY.

1997 Nissan 200SX SE-R: Dot. It was one of ~700 200SX's made that year that was the Pacific Blue color and it reminded me of Carl Sagan's "The Pale Blue Dot" documentary.

2003 Acura TL: Sally. No specific reason, other than it just fit the personality of the car.

2014 Camry (current car): Pearl. It's painted in Toyota's Cosmic Mica Gray and it glitters in the sunlight, vaguely reminiscent of a pearl.

Just for reference, I'm 54 and have had a license since 1986. Liberty was my first car. There are a few cars not mentioned above, because I just never named them. The 200SX was the second SE-R I owned. The first was a 92 Sentra SE-R, which I liked a lot more than the 200SX, it just never got a name.

My white-and-chartreuse vintage bicycle is "Americano". Like the cocktail, not the coffee.

I named my red xtrail "Big Red" after the feminist, my first car was called Betty, named after Master Betty from Kung Pow.

Vera. Technically given by a coworker.

She's a WRX with lots of parts from Cobb.

Vera was Janes favorite after all.

I inherited a brown Daiwoo Matiz and called it The Brown Streak.

Belldandy

Hyperion, Hype for short.

We own a Rose Gold Fiat 500 electric, aptly named Lady Penelope.

Curious to see if anyone will spot the correct reference:)

My first car was a 96 f-150 the previous owner named "Maurice" I didn't change it cause it supposed to be bad luck. Then I had a 2001 Pontiac grand am I called "Jaun claude" which I was rather proud of. My current one is just "V" cause it's a Ford Fusion Hybrid and the engine looks like it came out of cyberpunk.

I had a car, license plate CME1234 (fake numbers) so I called it "The Comemobile"

little did I know that Neighborhood Tires could also see the name I gave it on the portal.

cobalt is a chevy

baby car

My current car is named Lizzie, after Tin Lizzie, despite the fact that it’s in great shape. The first car I had was a rusted out ‘93 Impreza we called Tin Lizzie. So when I got my newest car and the license plate started with LZZ, I took it as a sign to bring the name back.

my 05 Subaru obxt is named Knox because i had a knock/pre-ignition issue before i got it fixed up :p

"Chaser" because we live out in the country and use it to pick up our dogs who sometimes wander off and we have to go retrieve. Also, because it's a Chevy. It's Chevy Chase_r_.

S. S. Niggress (still going strong)

2001 Subaru Impreza 2.5 rs silver - glider 2008 Subaru WRX STI white - bar of soap or the sti 2006 Honda element silver - bento (Japanese for box) 2024 vw id.4 Black - ghost, because it was gone for a month at the dealership after we purchased it.

We have a Hyundai Sonata hybrid with Blue Drive so she is called “Blue.”

We have a 2012 Ford Fiesta that we call "Siesta". That car sucks a good amount. Been meaning to get rid of it for years now.

My father always called my sisters car "Beulchen", which is the german diminutive word for dent. It was a very basic Ford Fiesta. No wireless car key, no electrically controlled side mirrors but at least it had AC.

I named my motorcycle. His name is Bubba, and he's a power bottom.

I had a 2002 Ford ranger that I named Strider.

Never named any of my cars until we got an ID4. It is called Heidi.

I named my Mustang Sally.

I find naming your car to be so cringe. You wouldn't name your TV or your washing machine. . .
