I just traded in my old, black Saturn station wagon, named "The Hearse" for a new car.
Its a used Mini Cooper S turbo. I named him Watson.

    I name mine usually based on color. The first one was Big Red (because it was a tiny '87 Nissan Pulsar). Then I had a powder blue Chevy Aveo named Homer (because Homer Simpson had a powder blue crayon stuck in his brain), and now I have an olive green Cube named Frank because it looks like an Army tank..Frank the Tank.

    My Subaru Loyale wagon whom I loved dearly was simply named Suzie. She was reliable and strong, not pretty, 19 years old and wonderful. The fella that bought her is still zipping around town in Suzie. I have a Pontiac Torrent now... it took a long time for us to bond to the point where I could name her. After a sleepover at the North Country Fair covered in mud and tarps... I have dubbed her Gemma. Classy but tough... SOA fans will relate. LOL.

    Did in high school. I had a plum colored Beretta we named "Purple Thunder." I still say it was plum, though.

    My Blue Honda CRV's name is Pearl :)
  • I have a 2002 Honda Civic named "Little Beast"
  • hehehe! Always!

    My first car was an '88 Subaru XT... nicknamed "Scooby-doo" just because it rhymed.

    White 90 Honda accord was Al, short for Albino

    Red Jeep cherokee named "Lurch"

    and a silver saturn called "The Chariot" because it's anything BUT a chariot. More like a jalopy.

    Oh there was also another silver Saturn - it was after the white Honda - nicknamed "Sal" because it was Silver and right after Al, and I didn't have any imagination at the time.

    So far, Lurch is my favorite :)

    I now have an Element with no name!
  • No, but I encourage the hampsters when I drive up hill in my Prius. lol:laugh:
  • My old 1998 Toyota Camry was named Shalom Jimmy Neward. I don't know why. It just seemed to fit.

    I now have a Toyota Yaris, and I named it Latka. After I made the purchase, I was sitting with my friend trying to come up with a name, and it just seemed to work.

    I do!
    My first car was a 1988 VW Jetta. I called him Billy.
    My second car was a 1997 Toyota Camry. I called him Sterling.
    My brand new baby is a 2011 Toyota Venza. I call him Big Blue. I plan to drive him til it dies, so in about 10 years or so, I can start calling him Old Blue.
