Does your car have a name

[korme]

So I haven't made a thread in a while and after 5 long years, this is the best I can come up with. On a trip to a Bengals game last fall, talking about the subject, a buddy asked me if I had a name for my car, and I quipped, Yea... Doctor Fantastic. So there we go, that's mine.

96 Honda Accord - Doctor Fantastic

[Schmidty]

I drive a '79 Yugo. It's name is Shorty.

Dude, you're totally lying. There was not a '79 Yugo:

You were thinking of your mommy's lime/rust Pinto.




Edit: I am a dirty liar.

I drive a red '92 Ford Probe. It's a five-speed and it has a spoiler (and front-end body damage). It's name is "Squinty Ferrari" because if you squint, it really does look like a Ferrari. In reality the car is a piece of shit, but I mostly date girls that suffer from astigmatism.

I've called my 2002 Neon "Tasker" a few times...but not lately.

Since I was going to be driving it on base every day (where parking spots are an afterthought and considerably small), I knew it was going to get dinged up.

I'm not answering until I find out what makes Shorty pop up at FOFC these days.

my kids call my wife's car "silver car". they call my car "green car". I used to drive "White car", but it got broken and was sold.

We have a yellow Xterra that we call Tonka because the yellow resembles the old Tonka trucks. We evem put a Tonka decal on the back.

2006 Miata - I call it my early mid-life crisis car.

it's really an alter-ego quiksand and the computer is doing more data collection.

Same here. We have the "green car" and the "black car." We used to have a "red car" but it got traded in for the "black car."

in the same line of thought, we have "mommy's car" and "daddy's car". Count on kids to keep things simple...

naming your car is totally gay.

[KWhit]

Homophobe.

My 92 Audi 100's name is Kathy. Named after a friend's mom who is totally hot. So I named my car Kathy because she may be a little old but she's still beautiful!

My guess is that she was unimpressed. Unless you're a surgeon?

When I pumped the gas, her engine revved.

[Critch]

I don't have a car, but my tivo machine is called "Little Timmy TiVo".

[Daimyo]

I had a friend in college who used to call his car Pergatory which perfectly fit the experience of riding in it.

[WSUCougar]

My wife's '02 Maxima is nicknamed "The Rocket," because that sucker flies like one.

[Schmidty]

Every car my mom ever owned, she named "Nellie".

Our two vehicles have been named by our 4 year-old daughter as "Truckie" (Ford Ranger), and "Troopy" (Isuzu Trooper).

Thats how my family described cars too. Green and Black for us, though

[Raven Hawk]

My current car does not have a name, but my '96 Mercury Mystique had a name:

The Mercury Mistake

[Poli]

That's the car that caught on fire, correct?

[terpkristin]

I have a 2003 black Mazda Protege5. I call it "Buzz" in part because of how it looks in the spring and summer when the pollen settles on it. :D

[Easy Mac]

I call my car compensation

I drive a hummer

[saldana]

my 6'5" roommate used to drive a ford festiva....we called it "go little car" because getting the piece of shit to stay running involved us sitting there saying "come on, go little car" and encouraging it not to stall.

[Pumpy Tudors]

Shorty's data mining. :(

[Craptacular]

My current car is the dogmobile. The next one will be twin twins.

[Solecismic]

My first car was a '79 Olds Cutlass Supreme. My friends at work named it "The Tuna Boat."

My current car is a '92 Subaru Legacy. It doesn't have a name, though it's approaching 100 in car years. I should probably call it "George Burns" or something. I'm taking it in tomorrow for a new windshield because I've been driving it with a cracked windshield for nearly a year now, and it'll never pass inspection otherwise.

[Joe]

It is called Nacho

[Crim]

My first car was an 86 Ford Escort. I called it Legion.

2006 Miata - I call it my early mid-life crisis car.


Seriously? I guess that is how different the west coast and the east coast is.
