Topic: Car Naming anyone? | |
---|---|
Have never named my cars but always drove a Buick Park Avenue.. In 07 got a 98 Buick Regal w/ supercharger. one of the best cars I ever had and fast.. Just bought a Honda CRV, SE and sweet talked the guys into putting a trailer hitch on so I can haul my motorcycle out west next summer... The honda sure don't hold the curves like the Regal did , gave the Regal to my gson...he loves it and it still gets 28 MPG...

I named all my vehicles since the very first one I got. When I worked in construction, I got a big red extended cab, long-bed Ford F150 truck. It was my first truck and I put side steps, side bars, and all kinds of accessories on it. And I called it Big Red, aka My Toy. I loved that truck. When it died, I got a Chevy truck. A friend of mine was a hardcore Ford lover and ragged on my Chevy, telling me it wouldn't be tough enough. I named it "Tuffy". A few years later, I traded Tuffy for a Dodge Caravan (which I've had for 11 years now). I bought the van on Halloween and it's silver. I nicknamed it the Grey Ghost and call it Casper. My vehicles tend to last me many years, long after I have paid them off. They're part of my family, like a pet, so I always name them. It will be a sad day when Casper gives up the ghost. I hear ya! I'll miss my car once it's gone...but I have quite a lonnng while before that happens! ZOOM ZOOM! Zoom Zoom! I keep mine a long time too. I got one of the first Miatas to hit the US in 89. I put a Buick supercharger on it in 95. I added leather seats and a paint job in 99. It now looks new and passes almost everyone with ease! It gets 28 MPG. I will die owning that car. I guess I did name it unknowingly since I refer to it as my "baby". |

I let my friends name my cars. My last one was Patches, because she was 5 different colors. My new Ford Fusion (well, new to me, she's 3 years old) doesn't have a name yet. No one has offered one.

I have a 1970 Chevy C\10 named The Ol' Blue Tick Hound Express.
The looks: blue, white with rust spots kind of made it look like an old hound. The "Express" was tacked on after I got to play with the performance a bit. Grew up with a '69 Dodge Pickup that we called Ol Blue, as in Petty blue. |

Gee....my car isn't named for it's color, but it does have a name..... My best friend bought the car, sight-unseen from a dealership. She went in and told them she wanted a PT Cruiser, red with leather interior etc..... They told her it would take two months to get in stock.....The next morning she gets a call, some guy canceled his order and they would be getting one in that afternoon. Did she want his?
Well, on the back of the car where it says "Limited Edition" it only read "imited Edition". So we named her Imited.......and I continue to call her that now that I bought her from my friend. |

I heard it was bad luck if you dont name your car so I have always done it...
I ve had so far "CLit" the Taurus and then "Lola" the Corola and Now "Larry" the Lancer...I wanted Mitzy the Mitsubishi but I knew someone else who named their car that and felt my car was more male. LOL silly I know but it is fun. |

I call my car all kinds of names. It just depends on if I am mad it, or sweet talking it before I get mad it, as to what names it gets called. |
