A lot of my cars seem to have their own personality and in keeping with that I've been naming them for years. I was just curious if anyone else out there is naming their cars? If so what did you have and what were their names? Here are mine:

Past:
1982 BMW 528e - Wolfie (short for Wolfgang)
1985 Mercedes 190e - Max (short for Maximillian)
1997 BMW 528i - Wolfie II

Current:
1963 Sunbeam Alpine - Vicki
1999 Porsche 911 Cabriolet - Sasha
«1345

    I sure do name my cars. They are a part of my life and I need them so I make them feel a part of the family. :tongue:

    Let's see:

    Past:

    1977 Ford Galaxy 500 - The Blue Bomber
    19__ Chevy Malibu Classic - The Green Machine
    1991 Cutlass Sierra - The Cowboy Mobile (It was silver with a blue interior and Cowboys bumper sticker) of sometimes Julian


    Present:

    Just bought a Nissan Sentra and haven't named it yet. I haven't had it long enough to get its personality.

    I think I got that habit from my mom, and it has rubbed off on my hubs now too.

    Past
    - First car ever - Ford Tempo: 'Little Mac'
    - Hubs' Monte Carlo: After we started dating, it was dubbed 'Big Red'

    Present
    - 1998 Sunfire: 'Little Red' (so we had Big Red and Little Red at one point)
    - 2011 Fiesta: 'Scootz'

    1960 Ford Falcon -- "Jelly Bean"
    1960's BMW 1600 -- "The Grey Ghost." Grey for the color, Ghost because it was always disappearing into the repair shop.
    1987 740 Volvo Turbo Sedan -- Olaf the Great -- I got the 250,000 mile medallion
    1995 Volvo Wagon. I didn't own it long enough to give it a name. But if I did, it would have been the LEMON drop kid
    2007 Toyota Rav 4-- the love of my life -- "Ravi"

    Well, my old '86 Lincoln I called Landcreuzer...

    The Dodge Charger I fell in love with I named Betsy, only got to drive her a day.

    And my new car, I haven't picked up yet, so, I haven't named yet.

    My 2000 green Honda Civic is Bonnie Vanessa. (No idea. Truly.)

    My 2007 black Sportster is B***h. :)

    Those are the only two vehicles I've had that have had actual names.
