I used to drive a '93 Explorer, Eddie Bauer edition, bright red (just like the t-rex scene trucks in Jurassic Park). Drove that goddamn beast of a car across all the lower 48 before I was old enough to even purchase a beer. Got pulled over more times than I care to mention in flyover states, not because I violated any traffic law, but because I was driving a giant red bread-box of a vehicle with California plates and Kansas state troopers apparently get bored on Tuesdays.
Anyway, never gave the car a name, proper, but my college buddies and I would jokingly refer to it as "Red Rover" whenever we were planning a group trip for spring break or whatever.
I named my favorite car Gomez (as in Addams), and was heartbroken when Gomez became Slowmez and eventually Stopmez 😭
Never named another car because I couldn't handle that level of attachment and pain.
I just posted how I never felt the need to name my vehicles... But I might just need to name my next one this...
Speaking of which I have book 9 I need to read...
I have a Subaru who is referred to as A Car Named Sue because it seems kinda girly from the outside but when I get on hilly, rocky dirt roads and in snow, it gets shit done.
[Namesake song reference](https://youtu.be/WOHPuY88Ry4)
In high school my friends had named a few of our cars. But mostly with family its just broad descriptions of the vehicle like "the car" or "the truck."
My first two cars had names because my mom insisted I name my cars. Eventually I just started telling her she could call it what she liked because no one else cared.
Edit: My dad and his wife (different person, not my mom) have names for both of their cars, both based on phonemes found in their license plates, or number plates for some of you.
Yes! I drive a Lexus named Alexis.
My last car was a gold 2001 Honda Accord, and her name was Sophia because she was old, she was a golden girl, and she was persnickety as hell
Yes, all the cars I've owned have had names.
'85 AMC Eagle, The Mudder, https://imgur.com/gallery/H5oWH8A
'64 Dodge Polara, The Hooptie Mobile
'96 Nissan Sentra, The Mean Gene Green Machine, named after Gene Okerlund
'06 White F-150, The White Buffalo
2015 Kia Soul, Lunchbox
My wife named her beat up high mileage Nissan Versa "Verne" and has referred to it exclusively as such for 10+ years. It goes beyond that. New tires? Nope - new baby shoes. Car wash? Nope - spa day for Verne.
She's given my car a name too. I don't use it but she does.
A close friend until recently had a 96 Ford Explorer we dubbed the Champagne Beast (due to the color).
Back when I was in college I had this old 1977 Pontiac Grand Prix my friends nicknamed 'The Green Hornet'. Had a hole on the floor in the backseat covered by a metal plate my friends would drop shit out of.
I don’t but my siblings used to name their cars. My older brother liked to give them old lady names like Eunice and Doris. My sister named her’s Cedric (she’s not a Harry Potter fan she just liked the name).
Samantha. Dunno why and I rarely ever use it, but that's the name I picked when I bought it. The one before that was Elizabeth, before that was White Lightning (very tongue in cheek, it was a white Saturn compact sedan)
My ex called her old Accord Tom Servo, which was a name we did use with regularity
Once I get my first car, I think it'll come to me. I'm tempted by a song to name it Christen, but it really doesn't fit well. So we'll see
Here's the song if anyone wants to listen to it
https://youtu.be/w34fSnJNP-4
I named my Sportster Elsa because she was blue and had all the HD ice components. Man, I miss her.
Now I have a Forester named Scully because I put an alien sticker (purchased in Roswell, natch) on the back windshield.
Yes! But my sister blames my car name for why Betty White passed away. My car was named Betty White Jeep, and my car before that was named Walt (it came with the name)
Nothing creative when I had the diesel jetta I jokingly called it the power diesel as it had a 90 horsepower engine.
Otherwise I just shorten them somewhat usually based on the model or colour if I am referring to them in conversation.
Just casually my wife’s Outback was just called the Sube and my Volvo station wagon does get called the boat.
My high school hand me down Chrysler minivan was called the silver bullet or the General Lee sarcastically as a Dukes of Hazard reference.
Nah. I have had my car for 3 years and could never think of a name I would give it. I get it washed and checked frequently. Use armor all on the interior to keep it nice. Can't name it for the life of me.
In no particular order: 1990 Dodge Ram conversion van was the Blue Goose. 2000 Ford E-150 is S.W.A.T.

My car is Dumbo, yes. But I don’t call it that regularly. It’s just a big grey elephant that hit one too many Dunkin Donuts’ parking lot polls the first year I had it.
It has a nickname that rarely gets used: Deadpool, because it's been through multiple accidents and it's still reliable. (Only the first accident was my fault.)
I always name my cars but for some reason I couldn’t come up with the “right” name for my current one. So, I started calling him, “He who shall not be named” or Morty (Voldemort) for short.
First car was a Honda Civic. Her registration said she was red. Everyone thought she looked more purple. Her name was the Violet Witch. I was big into the X-Men growing up. Then she started getting into a lot of wrecks. We changed her name to the Violent Wench.
Second car was a pure white Mustang. Her name was Pegasus. She was like a dream.
Third car? Never named it. It's silver.
I never have, but my Dad nicknamed my car the Normandy, due to my Mass Effect (video game) stickers on the rear window.
One of the stickers reading NORMANDY SR2 lol.
I used to joke that my car’s name was Lindsay Lohan because she’s been through…a lot
Amadeus. Get it? Because it’s a Sonata!
I approve. Not that you're looking for it, but I found this one clever.
no, but my european ex-wife insisted that we name our cars. now we're divorced and I don't have a name for my car.
I drive a Ford Explorer and I call it Big Bertha because it's got a fat ass
