Who has named their car?

[Wild Bill]

Has anybody named their car? If so what? Any suggestions?

Bill

 

[BigCarrot]

A car named Sue.

 

[RX VIPER]

May I suggest not using Christine.. per Steven King.

I commonly refer to mine as 'The Boy'.

 

[Qualitywires.com]

I like what Nadine calls mine, the "Silver Bullit", but I am getting used to the power and want more, so I will call it the Silver Arrow until it gets more upgrades to deserve the silver bullit name. heh!

 

[Andrew2KRT10]

This is embarassing.

 

[Neil - UK]

Mine's called 'The Battleship' as its the only other thing I know painted the same color there are other reasons of course

 

[genXgts]

"the wife"

people actually ask if I am bringing the wife to a party of whatever, which always brings up some interesting conversation to those that I don't know that well, moreso with women I am in the process of talking to.

"I didn't know you were married?"

"I'm not, tell ya later"

 

[Geoff Green]

At the time I bought the car in '99 I had 3 daughters, 1 wife, 2 female dogs and 1 female bunny. So I started calling it Jack. I still call it Jack even though I have had a son since.

 

[Wild Bill]

I think I will name mine 'Ophelia"; the traditional meaning of this name is 'serpentine'

(yes I am NOT working at work but nobody knows)

Bill

 

[RonC]

"The Mistress", or "The Princess"

 

[larry milo]

I agree with Andrew, this is embarassing, but while we are on the subject, in my home we call her the "V".

 

[Andrew2KRT10]

I like that......"the wife" It's the wife we all dream about. The one that performs great, never talks stupid, is always there when you need them, supports you through anything, never complains, gives you a hard time, or spends money except when you apporove it.

Andrew

 

[Casey]

When speaking to my wife I call the GTS, "MY CAR"

 

[malcoll]

I am not embarassed to admit it.... I name all my vehicles. It is just a wierd thing I have always done... and the name always has a story behind it.

Currently.....

1996 Viper..... RC (reason, my 4 year old calls him the "Roller Coaster" car).

1969 Mustang Mach I.... Henry (reason, I bought him 10 years ago from the original owner... on the under side of the original paint trunk lid was an ink stamp "HENRY". Probably an inspection stamp... but I took it as his name).

1977 Harley Davidson...... Bullseye (reason... while restoring/building Bullseye my 4 year old would constantly come into the garage throw his hands in the air and yell "ride like the wind Bullseye"...... he was seriously into Toy Story at the time and this was the name of Sheriff *****'s trusty steed)

1996 Mustang Cobra.... Sammy..... (reason... first time my in-laws saw him they thought he looked like a mafia car... so that called him Sammy the Snake)

1968 Cadillac DeVille Convertible... WackWack... (my oldest nephew could not pronounce Cadillac... so Josh called him WackWack).

Finally... 1966 Lincoln Continental Convertible... George. (reason, I bought George in 1991. George Bush was president. One day my Wife said... "you know this car is a true Republican car.... it is big, slow, gets HORRIBLE gas mileage, has very few safety features... and has 5 cigar lighters and 7 ashtrays)

Those are my stories... and I'm stickin' to em'.

Heh-heh. Cool names and history.
This is a fun thread. Keep 'em coming!
I've always named my cars, too. So, of course, I'll be naming my Viper.

[Nadine UK GTS]

My Beloved's named "Naughty" and I can't believe I just publicly admitted to that!

 

[ExecUtron Technologies]

My girlfriend calls it "that stupid loud thing that smells up the garage". I call it Vipereus Optimus (or Vipy for short)...

PS: Her Porsche is called the "Rat", and we know what eats Rats!

 

[Anthony - 98 GTS]

Money Pit.

 

[Roadkill]

My friend refer to mine as "The Big V"

 

[Paolo Castellano]

I call my Viper Enzo..... My plate is "ENZO WHO"===> Once I get it back from Jason Heffner, it will be called Enzo-Who's your fu@*!^g Daddy!

 

[Viperbass]

I actually named my Sapphire GTS "Roxanne". That way she can can sound sort of trashy with "Roxy", or sophisticated with "Roxanne", depending on my mood.

 

[FANGS/Indiana]

We call our 96 GTS "FANGS" cause thats what the plates say, we also have a small FANGS sticker on the top of the windsheild in a very serpentine script. We call our 65 Vette Feissty as our last name is Feiss. We need to come up with a name for the SRT-10 so it won't feel left out!

Roadkill,
Is that a real live Uni-mog next to your Viper? I've allways wanted one of those things, just never took the plunge.

FANGS/Indiana

 

[1TONY1]

Name your cars......You guys must be crazy !!!! When I talk to my cars (or airplane) I don't need to call them by name

 

[Hissses]

My kids call my viper Nagina after the snake in The Jungle Book. Not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing? But they sure love the car!

 

[PRVT JET]

both the vipers I owned I called J-LO. I always thought vipers have a big **** [******].

 

[Tommy]

Mullet Mobile.

 

[jackson]

My friend calls my 2000 RT/10 "The 'P' Magnet". I have to say I think he is right on.

 

[ACR Joe]

********** cojones **********

 

[monnieh]

I don't have a name for it but my friends do. They ask questions like:

did you bring "The Beast" today?
are you driving "IT" today?
where's the "Torque Monster"?

My 4 year old calls it the "Viperee"

 

[Cruisin9]

I don't know if you would call it a name exactly, but I have refered to my car as the "Blue Velvet Sledgehammer". The sapphire color reminds me of dark blue velvet and the sledgehammer part...well, you know.
