Do you name your cars?

[Gormy Cuss]

If so, post the name of your current drive here.

[AlCzervik]

1. Morticia the evil

[Gormy Cuss]

11. Bugs are evil.

OT, why is it that the vast majority of newer garages are sheet-rocked & mudded by the developer but never painted???

[AlCzervik]

12. Paint might cost another $50 and that cuts into profits.

[Moondog]

2. No, but I used to have one that I called a POS.

[Gormy Cuss]

26. I think "POS" is a very common name for a car.

;-)

[struggle4progress]

38. It's my car's last name

The car's first name is "Useless"

[hobbit709]

3. The Guanomobile

Damn grackles roosting in the tree over the driveway.

[Tikki]

4. My white Camaro was 'Missy'...

in all the years and miles (250,000+) I drove her...she never
took me to the side of the road...

Good girl...


Tikki

[Bertha Venation]

5. Yes! They are Bertha and Ernie

Bertha is a 2008 Yaris (silver in color) and Ernie - Earnestine - is a royal metallic blue 2005 Corolla.

Even though Bertha gets better mileage, I usually drive Ernie to work. She's much more comfortable on the long commute.

Mrs. V. loves :loveya: driving Bertha.

[fizzgig]

6. i call her my bav

busted ass volvo :)

[DarkTirade]

7. No, but my first car already had a name before I got her.

Her name was Dino. Like the pet from the Flintstones.

[no name no slogan]

8. Nope. Only my genitalia.

:thumbsup:

[Kali]

9. not really - other than " that %$#@!!#$%&ing POS" but the dishwasher's name is Hazel II.

[flvegan]

10. No, but she responds appropriately when I say "powerrrr!!"

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. Not my truck

But the '66 Chevy I had as a teenager was The Mule, and all my friends called it that, too. :)

[MorningGlow]

14. Soitenly

I've had four cars, and they've all had names. Currently I drive a Jeep Wrangler called Millie (because she was a millennium baby)--name courtesy of another DUer. And ever since the driver's side door fell off and we reattached it with bolts, I also call her Frankencar.

She's seen better days. But she's still running!

[Mopar151]

15. We have several

Carmine, the Mafia Staff Car II ('89 grand marquis)
Homer Ford, my ol' country truck ('72 F350, sauce & onions)
Vanna ('04 Freestar SEL)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. No...

But they usually have sex!

















What?:7

[CreekDog]

30. I got a question?

:wtf:

:rofl:

[MilesColtrane]

17. The Flying Tomato

Red 2001 Pathfinder

[underpants]

18. Vulva with a spoiler

I had a Mazda that I could only operate-seriously. It was named the "Millennium Falcon" sort of looked like it too

[azmouse]

19. Silver Bullet

The actual color is pewter but close enough.
It's a 2000 Camaro SS. Fun to drive... and fast!

[LostinVA]

20. Yes -- Spoodles

[GCP]

21. Our little Civic is called Excelsior

Because it's been such a great little car. 1993, 174,000 miles, no real problems, original clutch.
Imagine this in black and you've got Excelsior

[Common Sense Party]

22. My first car, an old VW, was aptly named Beelzebug. n/t

[DeepBlueC]

48. oh I love that!

I had a '66 bug myself way back, first car.

[Common Sense Party]

54. Mine was a '72.

We had to put a piece of wood under the back seat because the battery fell through. The floorboards were so rusted that slush and rain would splash inside. The heater never worked.

But that car started every morning, even in 20 below weather, without a problem. It was a Beast. Beelzebug seemed to fit.

[Patsy Stone]

23. Yes.

His name is Simon. He's a MINI Cooper with a Union Jack roof decal.

I've also had a VW Fox named Miles, and my husband had a VW Scirocco named Otto.

[Sultana]

24. No, not yet

:D

[FloridaJudy]

25. Miss Dixie

The cars I or my family have owned are: The Chocolate Drop, Mehitabel, The Green Hornet, The Pink Lady, Fat Albert, Heffalump, Gandalf, The Jabberwock, Madame Butterfly and Buttercup.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

27. Greenie Weenie.

Old Mazda 4 door bought when the rich green was the popular color. Still going strong.

I took all the bumper stickers off and the bumper is STILL attached!!! :D

Also have my dad's 1993 Sedan deVille, Midnight blue with dark tinted windows and fake ragtop.

Known as "the Mafia Staff Car" or "The Pimpmobile" :hi:

BF's '94 periwinkle Caddy is "the Poofter" (british for powderpuff) because of the color.

His ancient non-running toyota is "the Shitbox". :D


My old RX-7 was "The Riceburner".

[Shine]

28. LYTTN UP.

Perfect for me. :D

:hi:

[Gormy Cuss]

33. Hi Shine!

:hi:

[JTG of the PRB]

29. Raptor One

Seen here with some weirdo:

[CreekDog]

31. You're in Walnut Creek, shouldn't your car be named Hobbes?

:shrug:

[Gormy Cuss]

32. I fail to see how Hobbes is relevant

A good name for a car in Walnut Creek would be Upscale.

[CreekDog]

34. or German

:think:

[csziggy]

35. Moby

:shrug: What else do you call a white GMC Suburban?

[dana_b]

36. Scratch

actually that's what others have forced me to name it.

[Aristus]

37. My 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser is called Gatsby.

I used to have a 1982 Datsun 280ZX two-tone silver-and-black car called the Silver Tyrant.

[REP]

39. Pretty Gorgeous Beauty Car

I really like my car.

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

42. Nice looking wheels!!

:hi:

[Shell Beau]

40. Only my current one. It is Wanda the Honda!

:7

[elleng]

51. A friend of mine HAD THE SAME CAR!!!

:rofl:

[rockymountaindem]

41. I sometimes refer to my car as "the shark", but I wouldn't call it an official name n/t

[Release The Hounds]

43. Unfortantely yes, a Mazda5

Black Betty, although it was NOT my idea to name it after that horrendous song.

[spindrifter]

44. My friend had a series of Hondas--Jane, Peter, Ronda. We had

a VW Bug called Oxer--based on its OXR plate number. The current car is the Dogmobile, for obvious reasons. Some cars are name-worthy. Others are cold machinery. Oops, I didn't mean to insult anyone/thing.

[Mopar151]

46. It's like a Native American name

A matter of vision, personaliti(es),and circumstance. I've had several that never acheived a name.

[Pacifist Patriot]

45. I named my first car, but nothing since. It was named Doc, but for the life of me...

I cannot remember why. I know it was an acronym for something, but who knows what.

[yellowdogintexas]

47. my husband's cars seem to get names..first there was Ancient Behemoth

(a raggedy Crown Vic that had been his mom's and then his dad's car). This was followed by Behemoth, a younger Crown Vic that had been his mom's and then his dad's car. His next vehicle (and the current drive) is a Dodge Ram 15 passenger van with all the seats out except the front two, that he stores all his gear and stuff in when he goes to a wellsite.

It is white.
We call it the Whale, and sometimes Moby Dick.

[SeattleGirl]

49. The Stealth Mobile

That's my name for my black Taurus. Actually, my daughter named it after I first got it.

[elleng]

50. I haven't (my kids have),

but I'm thinking of getting a 'new' car ('new' used, that is,) and if it works out, I may JUST name her!

[kentauros]

52. Oliver!

Well, no, I didn't name my car that nor is the following me and my car:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfRfj6FkfYg

:P

[JNelson6563]

53. I cal them all "Bessy"

Not sure how that came to be but each car I've owned ends up with me callin' 'em Bessy.

Julie

[BarbaRosa]

55. Yes,

My '96 white Ford ranger is Whitford....white ford
my '72 VW van is Be, from Jonathon Livingston Seagull
MamaRosa's '06 Toyota Matrix is Trixie
my BMW bike was Beem, I even had that as my license plate

A friend of mine called his pickup, Biff the bar finder.

[helderheid]

56. Black Pearl.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

57. My current car is nameless, but in the past I've had

>A large, 1969 Chevy Impala named "Impie Biggs." (Fans of Dorothy Sayers' mysteries will get that one.)

>A tiny 1978 Dodge Omni named "The Tuna Can"

>A gray 1990 Dodge Spirit named "The Grey Ghost"

My current car, a 1999 Toyota Avalon inherited from my stepfather with only 37,000 miles on it, does not have a name. For some reason, it has not called forth my imaginative naming powers.

[guitar man]

58. yes

"Blackie" is my black '03 Dodge truck


"Barney" is my purple Harley Sportster




"The Green Hornet" is my green '95 Lincoln Matk VIII



(the bottom photo is not my actual car, but is identical to it)

:hi:

[dembotoz]

59. her minivan--the barge

[meow2u3]

60. I don't have wheels yet

but the next one I'm gonna get is going to be named after one of my dear, departed pets. Most likely Sylvester, my departed Maine Coon. I'm expected to receive a Jeep as a gift from my brother, hence the reference to a large-breed cat.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

61. Re Volvo

My last one was Van Essa.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

62. Not my current one....

Although I have been known to curse it.

I nicknamed my first car though.

[fizzgig]

63. how could i forget murray??!!?!

well, i call him murray, my dad calls him the buddah and his generic name is the bomber.
