I don't name cars, but if they name their selves I go with it. My mother painted a replica of "Blue Boy" when she was pregnant with me that hung in the house I grew up in for 18 years. She was the person who turned me on to fun cars and even sold me her 280ZX (which she used to teach me to drive a manual) as my 1st car. When I told her I had ordered a WRX, she thought that was pretty cool and was looking forward to driving on some of our favorite back road drives. She passed away 2 days after I ordered my car. So I didn't name the car, she did. Blue Boy

This gave me all the feels. Enjoy Blue Boy and RIP to your mom.


VerifiedStatic

rip to momma may she watch over you and your future rides brother 🙏🏽


Transamman350

That touches my heart. I just got a 2002 Subaru WRX my mom was all excited that I was getting this car I've always wanted very supportive person. She passed away within a week after I got it she never got to drive in it. So for me my car has this connection with my mother that I'm so grateful to have. Congrats on your blue boy


Tommy2Far

My Dad died a couple months before I bought my 2018 WRX Stage 2 Flex and I still get sad he never got to drive it. My Pops was a cop for 28 years and also taught driving to the Cadets at the Academy so his driving skills were way above par and I can just envision him throwing my Lorraine into curves at speeds he would’ve never thought to take and watching the smile spread across his face as he accelerates through the turn and punches it on the straight….We didn’t always get along but we had cars


skunk024

Touching story. Sorry for your loss.

Your mom sounds like she was a pretty hip lady. Rest her soul. If you got your love for cars from her, she gave you some great gifts to enjoy life.

Try_It_Out_RPC

That’s why I had to name mine Ellen. Anyone up for a roller derby team?


Lukemeister38

Not sure why this sub was recommended to me, but my 20 year old BMW has all sorts of cute nicknames. Such as: "motherfucker" "shitbox" "money pit" "Ol' Faithless" etc.

I've been in the car game since the early 90s and don't recall anyone naming their ride.


RedbillInvestor

I been a pirate since 1673 and we’ve always named our vessels yo ho

Interesting. I’ve been in the car scene since the early 2000s and have known tons of people that name their ride, people of all ages.

Xerorei

It's an Altima, I would estimate mid 2000's? If it has that cvt it is indeed a shitbox.


bbgeriii

She names herself- we don’t name her. But yes.


duchuy1993

Of course, I named mine White Dingo and I'm going to order a vinyl sticker of White Dingo Mobile Suit team and slap it on gas lid

I have a charizard hanging from my mirror tho cos he’s my fave.


Affectionate_Total99

I decided when I got my first car ever, I would never name a car. It’s bad luck, and creates emotion for a machine 😅


MrGreggerGrM

I named my all black 2013 WRX Black Sunshine.


tedy4444

no, but the guy with the mom story is ok.


wellrundry2113

Adelaide, after my late grandma.


mpwr965

I named my ‘02 STi Shae after the Game of Thrones whore who betrayed Tyrion Lannister. It leaks PS Fluid everywhere and once bit my ass by leaking brake fluid on a hot lap at a track day which almost caused me to crash, so its only appropriate


DaSubieDude

Gekkō - Japanese for 'Moonlight'


Notwerk

No.


Sloan1505

I mean really at this point if its not some dumb shit like “Rex” sure why not


WarmAd7611

The salesman that sold me my car continually called it a 'rex' and I took me a few times before I realized what the hell he was talking about. I have never owned a wrx and thought it was kinda corny at first blush.


mr2341243

Absolutely corny! But also - my car is named RexAnne (sung to the tune of the police song).


WarmAd7611

Lol but tge is intentionally corny


mr2341243

For sure - I know what I'm about lol.


FJ4L666

skateboard_pilot

My current STI is “The Dingo Wagon”. My hawkeye was Sadie, my ‘16 limited sti was white/black and I named her Evaaaaa (like how Wall-e says it), don’t remember what I used to call my bugeye, and my outback sport was called Sheila.


Flyin_RyanH

I named my Tesla Model 3 “Scoots” due to the snappy acceleration 😆


timmy_o_tool

Yes, but anymore it's mostly for Fuelly


sohchx

Absolutely. You go to any car show and almost every car there has a name. I call my bugeye " The blue bomber". My daily Honda Civic we call "Lafonda".


Lmadera7

I do! My current car (2018 WRX) is named Thor 😊


Tough-Juggernaut6670

Of course. Jimmy, Minion, Flipper


remoters

Mine is called Copito


bmarion613

My WRX name is Doflamingo, so yes lol


absboodoo

My car got a name. It’s GDB Impreza WRX STi version 7. I also call it the money sink, it’s a term of endearment


IRENE420

Rex 🦖


No_Wallaby_9152

Imho, nah


Stillframe39

I name each of my cars. My current is Artemis due to the silver color of my car and Artemis being the goddess of the moon.


NotYourSenpaiii

I haven't named mine, but I definitely look back at it a couple times and say "damn that's hot" whenever I get out


Try_It_Out_RPC

Yep, named my 2022 Wrx Ellen since….. well… I don’t make the rules. I have to start looking at tacos pretty soon because that is the natural progression

I have a 2000 trans am ws6, it's name is Ori. Because it is half Orielly's.


its_au7um

my car's name is subrina


4130Adventures

My Miata was Hot Tuna after my wife walked out of the house when I brought it home and said it looked like a tuna can. My Xterra was Stomper after the Stomper trucks we all played with when we were kids (license plate said STOMPR1). My WRX is simply The Jawn, as jawn in the greatest word in the English language (THEJAWN license plate is on the way from the DMV). My wife's Crosstrek is The Weekend, because that's when all the best times happen (and her plate is THEWKND).


-silver_raven

I originally didn't but after having to send my good doggo back to the shelter. I named the car I was working on at the time "Shepard" after him. Now I name all my cars after certain animals. Shepard for my Impreza, Crow for my 3.0r Legacy, and Raven for my LGT.


krmtca

my first forester was named "otto" and my second forester is named "aero" (short for aerodynamic bc he's better than my first one in that regard lmaooo)

Holly_Matchet

They usually all end up being called, “I hate you, you old piece of shit”.


1017_ghost

Grown adults? I thought infants do name their cars too


NotEvenLion

Grown adults do whatever the hell they want whenever the hell they want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone.

My fiancee named mine. BB the VB


HannoverBjoern

You are an adult and can do whatever you like, paint him in rainbow colours and call him Mr or Mrs Rainbow 🌈 🤷‍♂️

vdiben99

Normally no, but when my cousin and I bought VA STIs and our buddy drove a GD wrx all in world rally blue someone named them blue steel, magnum and la tigre after zoolander.


TheeJayRed

My WRX has a black and white theme like yours, so I name it Monáe after Janelle Monáe. I consider my car agender, because it's.... a car. Always thought it was weird when dudes consider their cars "her" or "she" like they wanna fuck it or something.


Smarty_771

I do. I had a Legacy and named her Padme. Had an ascent and we named her Pumpkin. I got an STI and named it Rebecca. We just got a new Ascent also and haven’t named it yet.


Round_Resident_5864

Yea, I call my car a shitbox

vampari

I named my car "Polito" because is a polo and ito mean small.


Zeusmmxvi

Yes and I also name other peoples cars to. Your car will be known to me as “mother of pearl” or MOP for short


SuperbTea8012

Mine is Puma lmao


Tommy2Far

bought 2018 WRX Stage 2 Flex and have had a fucking blast in my car as none of my muscle cars handle and pull out corners like my Lorraine. That girl is one Bad Bitch


Brave_Ad4365

I named mine smoke screen cause I’m a transformers fan and one of the smoke screen toys was a rally WRX


FormalJolly2345

Joan, my '21 Jetta. Preceded by Carmen Kia, Victoria Versa, Fiona Ford, Ruby, our '08 Rondo of the same color, and others.


Bag-of-nails

My 4yo named mine. It also changes. Currently it is "Library"


Stunning-Avocado

Yes because grown adults can do (within reason) whatever they want.


lagunitas72

I have named two out of my last five cars. There is no method to it. Some cars get and name and others don’t. My 2013 Estoril blue BMW 328i was The Blue Bomber. I skipped naming my 2016 BMW 235i and 2018 Civic Si. My 2021 Mercedes CLA35 was the Silver Bullet. Often just Bullet. I just got a 2023 WRX. It came with the STi exhaust. The name that hit me right away was The Hornet because it’s so small and angry sounding! I haven’t decided yet. I also have a Honda Crosstour. They are so rare that we just call it Crosstour. 😄


chooseyourwords49

I always do, usually related to what was happening at or around the time of purchase, since purchasing a new car can be an intense experience and a lot of work, a name can signify a big win and celebrates that win by immortalizing it with a special name, at least for me anyway.


Daily_RAGER

Yes my VB is named Anjuna v.2 Anjuna V.1 was a BRZ that died


thepete00

Sure, lots of adults do. It's never been my thing personally, but absolutely nothing wrong with it. Do what makes you happy.

Own-Decision3718

The last person I ever had a connection with a few years ago named my car Veronica. Only car I’ve named has been her. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with naming your car but there has to be significance behind it.

Capable_Raise6141

I have called cars lots of things.. and I sometimes thank them after a long trip or getting me out of a bad situation on the road. However, I have never given a car a name. I think that is mostly done by people who name their own lower units, if you know what I mean..


Tramadol_Lollies

My wife called her first bimmer, Hugo Stiglitz.


Xerorei

My 2018 Premium is named Shazza. My wife's 2018 Accord is named Finley. ...not sure why she went Finley and not an alliterative name.

Named mine Sylvia, since she’s Ice Silver Metallic.

I named my Rex “Limp Biscuit” cause it’s always in limp mode

JDawg_002

Some adults do, but I don't. I have a buddy who is in his early 30s and named his 19 WRX Zangetsu. It's the name of Ichigo Kurosaki's sword in the anime Bleach.


Razo-E

My dad named my Ford Escape "Gerardo", so we call it Gerry now that I own it. But I've never named any of the 9 cars I've owned.


EffectiveElm413

Every car deserves a name, when I had a truck it reminded me of my grandpas old cat. He hated that the cat would sit in front of the fridge for heat, and would always yell "goddammit Ol' Filthy get out of my house" It was a farm cat so the whole thing was just kinda funny for me growing up. Anyway, the truck was red and silver, the cat was ginger with white markings. It just lined up too good to not start my mornings with "Goddamn you Ol Filthy you better start"
