    I don't anymore, but my first car was a Volkswagen Fox, and I named her "Dirty Frank." Loved that car! :love:

    I call my Jeep my "Heep." Noy really a name, just like a Spanish pronunciation of Jeep. It's not a heap, either. No one gets it but me. :ohwell:

    1960's BMW 1600 -- "The Grey Ghost." Grey for the color, Ghost because it was always disappearing into the repair shop.
    By that convention Sasha, my Porsche, should be "The Silver Ghost" . I haven't had it that long and I am still getting the bugs worked out..............at least that's what I keep telling myself. :ohwell:

    Mine is named "Mako" after the vehicle in the videogame Mass Effect; the original Mako was confined to notoriously bumpy levels, making the ride very bumpy and jerky. I named it that because I'm still learning to drive, and it suited my driving style :laugh: (Plus, I have an N7 bumper sticker...)

    Haven't named my truck yet but in the past I have named them.

    Ford LTD (first car, don't remember the year) - Bertha.
    '85 Hyundai Steller - Stella .
    02' Accent - Crash - it always seemed to get asome kind of scratch or ding when parked.
    '92 Jeep YJ - The Beast - that thing would go through EVERYTHING.

    '93 Corolla -- Christine

    2001 Saturn Ion was Betsy when she was running well, Bertha when I had any problems. She was totaled Christmas Eve. I now have a Ford Explorer. I have been debating a name and I think I'm going with Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds. "Reid" for short. :)

    Sometimes I had to "run" with the Ghost, hop in and start it, and quickly throw it into first. I guess your Sasha is beautiful but tempermental . . .

    My car's name is "The Tank"! No laughing - it's a 2000 Hyundai Accent. I've done nothing but put gas and oil in it for over a decade. It's seen better days... Starting to get a little rust here and there... But, it's outlasted some of my friends' NICE cars - BMWs, Lexuses, etc... It gets me where I need to go - and it kicks *kitten* if there's snow!

    I did that a lot with my first car, a 1968 Saab 96.:smile: Sasha is very beautiful and fun to drive but in the short time I've had her she has gone to the shop about once a month to to the tune of about 1k+ a piece. Still, I love her. She handles and accelerates like nothing I've ever driven before.

    When I met my husband he was driving an 87' 505 STX Turbo Peugeot. (the 85' was the choice of the NYC Taxi Commission for cabs!!!) What a great ride --smooth, silent and powerful. But there was always ALWAYS something going on, usually electrical. He used to bring it to a mechanic who was German, who asked him once what do you expect from a car made by the French?? He found a mechanic that had worked in a Peugeot dealership before they tanked. He started a "peugeot club," that met weekly. It was more like group therapy. Lots of ranting :sad:

    My very first car was a fully restored 1963 Comet Caliente (props to Dad!) and my friends nicknamed it the Batmobile. But I have never named my vehicles. Right now it's "Your van", "My van" and " The truck". If we can't tell them apart by that we got problems.
