Since we're talking cars...

Do you name yours?

I had never heard of naming cars until I got to college. Everybody told me I had to name my car when I bought it, and my champagne-colored Neon became Caroline.

Now my trusty, rusty dark-green Civic is called Juliet. Matt's silver Altima is Sam (for Samantha, I think).

Re: Since we're talking cars...

  • I haven't named my current car... My first car when I was 16 was a 2 door 1990 Pontiac Grand Am.  I named him Cletus, so when I was frustrated I could yell "COME ON, CLETUS!!!"  My last car, was simply "The Beast".... that car was seriously a tank.  I LOVED that car!!  For some reason, all of my cars have been "guy" names.

  • I drive a grey prius. We pretty much just call it the Prius. Or Pri-oose
    Photobucket
  • I did name my first car but I just call my Mazda..."my car" and Cody's car is "your car" We're creative.

  • In HS and college I drove a Honda civic hatch back.  It was white and I called it my "Egg".  It was a good car but at the end of it's life I absolutely hated the "Egg"!

    When I bought my current car I traded the "egg" in.  A few weeks later my dad got a call(b/c he was on the title) from the NJ state police telling him the car was found abandoned in Camden.  I was like WTF?  We don't even live in NJ and I don't own that car anymore.

  • My VW Golf was "Eddy the Pig" though I never called it that. It sounded like it was farting when you'd lock the doors (the horn).

     

    My current car is an orange Honda Fit. I named it "Orange U. Gladys" (ie. Orange you glad I didn't say banana). DH thinks I'm silly.

  • I have a Ford Escort hatchback (station wagon WHOO lol). His name is Harvey :) When I first bought him there was a little purple dinosaur (like an inch tall, plastic toy) underneath the seat so I took it and super glued him to the dash. That little dinosaur is "Harvey's" physical bodiness lol. Everyone that knows me knows my car is Harvey and that is how we talk about him.

  • Yes we name our cars!

    I have a 2008 Subaru Legacy and her name is Susie

    My hubbys prized possession (his 2nd car) is Madeline, she is a 98 red Grand Prix GTP and is all sorts a fancy and souped up.

  • I have a VW beetle and her name is Josephine. My bug is white so it looks like an igloo so we call her "eskimo joe."
  • We pretty much say "my car" and "your car" in everyday conversations, too.

    I love "Baby Fuse"!

  • We don't have names for our current cars, but my last car was a 2005 toyota corolla S, and every time we would go up hill while trying to gain speed, I used to say, "come on little corolla, you can do it!"

    I'm so glad you started this thread, because everytime I see stu's name, it reminds me of this.  When I was a sophomore in college, I drove a 1995 ford ranger, and one of my friends at school decided my car needed a name, and he had a thing for the Scream movies, so he named my car Stu.  And it stuck.  My little sister drove it to college after me, and we still called it Stu, and eventually my parents started calling it Stu, too! LOL  After my Dad died and after my mom bought my sister a new car, she sold Stu to a guy in the neighborhood, and eventually moved to a different town.  I still live in the same town, and used to see the truck all the time.  I would tell my mom and my sister, "I saw Stu today!!"  LOL

    You've heard what I've done, not what I've been through.
    If you were in my shoes, you'd fall the first step." <3<3

  • My first car was a Chevrolet Cavalier, so we call her Chandy and my current vehicle is a Jeep Grand Cherokee and I call him Jupiter. We usually don't use the names during everyday talk though...just when DH wants to poke fun at them.

  • DH and I both drive Ford Edges.  Mine doesn't have a name but DH's BM named his. 

    BM drives a White Infinity G35 (with all kinds of mods) and calls it the White Dragon. I've never known BM to drive slower than 90... EVER. Anyways.  BM named DH's Edge The Black Mamba. 

    And of course, since DH and BM became such good friends (like 2ish years ago) DH has started doing all kinds of crap to his car. Ugh. HAHAHA!

  • We usually say "my car" and "your car", but sometimes I'll call his "the red car" for variety :) We're about to get a new car so I'm assuming that will be "the new car".  Very original.
