Anyone still giving a name to your car, and what is it?

My car is brown.

The first time I brought it home without telling my wife the color, she was unimpressed and said that it was "shart colored".

We immediately named it "El Sharto", and 5 years later the name has stuck

My last car was named Alice after the "Alice in Chains" mix cd that was left in the cd changer when I bought it.

My current car isn't named, because I think it might be cursed and I don't want to give any more power to it.

The uterous. It's a ute.

i once had a car i named 'Alice'.

i had just purchased this vehicle ('80 celica sunchaser) in west vrginia, and was driving it back when white rabbit came on the radio... the song ended and i start flipping through channels and i stumble on white rabbit playing on another station!

the song ends and i start scanning again and i shit you not, i found a third white rabbit playing.

bonus info; plates i ordered and used: "LCFR"

We own a VW Polo and called it Pollie. Then I got a newer Polo, company car. We called it Marc, as in Marc-O-Polo

My first car was a green buick lasabre that I got from a relative. It was held together by duct tape and redneck engineering, and wasn't even supposed to make it through high school. As a condition for receiving the car, I had to continue calling it the green hornet. Ever since, my cars have been named after a famous movie vehicle. My current car is a blue civic, so naturally I had to name it the bluesmobile

I had an Impala that I named Vlad, so it was “Vlad the Impala”.

My current car is named Moxxi, after Mad Moxxi

I stopped naming inanimate objects after I named a bong and it got destroyed on the first day 😞😭

had a 2014 Chevy Cruze named Terry

My first car was named "Safely". Regardless of the quality of my driving, I was driving Safely.

My current car is Carefully.

I bought a Tesla Model 3 back when they were new and I like Halo, so I named it "Silent Cartographer" for both being quiet and going places. It's wordy AND nerdy, so I don't really refer to it by its name.

I have a bright orange Subaru Crosstrek named Poppy.

I had a red Veloster I called Swordfish And my friends called my blue Civic "Bad Wolf"

we named our first electric car "White Fire" as an hommage to the launch roller coaster "Blue Fire" in the theme park Europa Park (Germany) near where we live.

In January we gave back the white car to the leasing company and got a gray one, which is now named "Greyfire".

My current vehicle is The Blue Meanie.

Previously, I had a Kia that I called The Kill Ya, a cavalier that I dubbed The Crasholier, and my first car I called The B-Mobile.

I called mine Sasha just so I could reference meet the heavy if anyone ever moved the seats

Huh. Naming a car, the model name of a completely different brand of car, a model which was contemporary with your car, would be very confusing to me.

You can take cobalt

"But you don't have a cobalt."

My first Camaro, back in the day when I was 16, was Friday Night Reliable. That is the closest I came to any kind of name for a car. I had relationships in the subtle psychological spirit of the OP question, the meaning of a name being greater than the word.

Even with humans, names are not part of my deeper subconscious association with people and experiences. Like I can think of at least many dozens of people I have known and worked with. They are part of my life experience and more than just passive acquaintances, but I will likely never remember their names. The experience and memories are real, but somehow my mind is not wired to keep up with names in my ever growing map of human experience. Sometimes a name sticks, but it usually has some specific relevance to an event or association. So every one of my rides had a personality and experience, but no name.

FNR was reliably broken down by every Friday night. It was deeply frustrating at the time, but being a broke kid and no one to really help me, I eventually figured out each problem and how to fix it on my own out of necessity. That experience had a big impact on shaping my out-of-the-box intuitive thinking. I both needed and wanted to know how every detail worked; often learning the limitations of intuitive assumptions the hard way, while empirically learning the power of statistical probably in abstraction.

First car was a pre-owned white '91 Ford Escort GT that I named Gypsy Jo. She was my traveling companion and served me well until some uninsured removed rear-ended me.

Second car was Moonshadow, a brand-new blue '99 Honda Civic Si. He saw me through a bad breakup and we had many adventures together. I sold him to a car enthusiast in 2016 for $6500.

Current car is a pre-owned black 2011 Subaru Impreza Outback named Ira. He saw me safely on a long 14-hour drive when I recently moved.

My wife calls her Camry: Whale Tits.

Lead sled was one name

GF calls her car the Crymobile because her license plate is CRY###

I drive a Subaru and we call it Subarashi.

My 2014 Mazda 2 is named Maria, my 2014 Hyundai Elantra GT is named Elaine, and my 2011 Chevrolet Cruze LTZ is named Crystal. Sadly, we need to sell Crystal, it's like losing a family member. You name it, you own it.

Our peugeot is called Giovanni

I have a Skoda Octavia Scout and have taken to referring to it as Skodillac.

Renault Vivaro. She's called Julie. Julie Vandrews. Also know as me Julie.

I have a white Prius named Shadowfax so if I need to go somewhere fast I can yell "run Shadowfax, show us the meaning of haste!"

My wife names hers Otto after Otto Hightower from Fire & Blood because she has a Dodge Durango Citadel.

I like it because it sounds similar to "auto"

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

First car was a 93 Carolla named the rockolla. Then an 87 Supra turbo that looked like it was straight out of mad max. That was Facemelter. Then I had Gump, the no runner (a 4runner that was always breaking down) and then the station dragon. My current car is Beyonce.

I went many years without naming a car, but I got a new car recently. On my last day with the old one, I decided to name her Bessie in reference to the idea of being put out to pasture. Then I decided to keep up the theme and named the new one Elsie.

I had a black Citroen C4 I called Marxine, from Karl Marx plus making it sound feminine and french lol.

Have an Elantra called Snubs. The previous owner called it Ellie, after thr main character of The Last of Us, not because of the model name lol

Ol' Betsy

I call mine Tayne. Somtimes paul (as in paul rudd, the actor that plays tayne in tim and eric)

Carissa

I had an old little red Toyota Yaris that I called Jennifer, because it looked like a Jennifer to me.

Now I have a dark blue Ford Focus that I call James for pretty much the same reason.

I... don't seem to name cars like you other folks do.

Had a bright blue Twingo, called it the smurfette. Now have a slightly more boring black Dacia, name of Lady Blackbird.

We have a big family and have named ours:

• Beast = 2004 Ford Excursion
• Burgundy = 2011 Honda Odyssey (dark red)
• Bus = 2004 Ford Econoline E350

It never gets old yelling down the hall "to the beast!" :D

death cab for cutie

My cars are named after the pokemon they most closely resemble. Ferroseed and Snorlax. They each have a sticker of said pokemon.

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.

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

My car's plate has the letters LCP, so we call it El Capo (the mafia boss)

Belldandy

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.

Vera. Technically given by a coworker.

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

Vera was Janes favorite after all.

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

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

Hyperion, Hype for short.
