"If you have a great car or truck and don't give it a name then you don't love it enough. If you don't love your car then how can you depend on it to always get you home?
You can't just pick a name out of thin air, either. It has to fit the car's personality and your's as the driver. It ususally takes me about a month to get to know a new vehicle. Usually by then I'll know their name"
Well said! -

A friend of mine maintains that if a car is an automatic it should have a girls name and a guys name if it is a stick.
That's interesting. I've never heard that. I've heard it said that all cars should have feminine names except for Bentley's which should be given masculine names. I think it was Jay Kay who I first heard say that.
Anyway, I own a W108 and a W116 but I don't name my cars. I tend to refer to them by those factory codes. I totally understand why people name their cars, I know it's very common and I don't judge, but naming my car has never been for me - I just feel weird calling it by a name. -

I call my car all kinds of names, especially when the bitch won't start.
I once saw a Cadillac which belonged to Elvis, it has a bullet hole in the fender where he shot it when it didn't want to fire up.
Don't vote, it only encourages the bastards. -

My boyfriend has a 1971 Ford F250 and he named her Elizabeth, but he calls her Bettie. He said that she should have a good name because she's a good truck. It's funny to watch him get mad at her, because that's when he resorts to calling her Elizabeth.
You think this is funny?
Not at all, they said that stain would come

I met a girl once in a party and she was HOT! She wore a green top and black jeans. She let me kiss her goodbye, but that was it. (why lie)
Anyways, the phone # she gave me was fake. (no cells back then to verify right there and then)
4 years later, I still would mention her to the guys every once in a while, cause she was Hot!. I lied to them, of course, to make her look like she gave it up like a slut.
So, when I met my beautiful 1991 MR2 with Metallic Green Paint and black interior, I naturally thought of her,. cause she was Hot!
Tracy, will never know that I named my car after her, even after she gave me a fake number. I guess I owe it to her for saying I banged her.
I still drive the MR2.
I love my TRACY -

I had a car named "Granny" for a while. She was a '76 Ford Granada (hence the name Granny).
She was kind of Christinish, too. I was out with a girl at the movies, and when we came out, all the water from the radiator had emptied on the ground. I suppose that somone could have crawled under and opened the drain plug, then closed it again. Seems like an odd thing to do. The radiator didn't have a leak, because after I filled it, it never had a problem again.
I was out with another gal, and driving down the street I suddenly had no brakes. So I coasted it to a stop, got out and checked the master cylinder, and it was bone dry. Was fine not an hour before. Got some brake fluid and refilled it, never had a problem after that.
There was one gal that she liked, though. Due to some wiring issues (my brother and I), the wipers would stop when I turned on the left turn signal, and the right turn signal wouldn't work if the wipers were on. But whenever this one particular gal was in the car, they worked perfectly fine.
The car's long gone now. The Chicago winter with all the salt pretty much killed it. But still, sometimes I think she might just show up again.

wow, some of you guys are REALLY beep sad. It's a car. It doesn't have feelings. You're not supposed to LOVE it either. It doesn't have a personality. It takes you from point A to B. It's a mechanical thing. God i hope you don't have girlfriends or wives.

Wow, somebody's mom doesn't want to get someone a car.
YES, you are suppose to love it.
The more you love it, the more care you put into it, therefore, it will last longer.
It does too have a personality.
The older muscle cars are more co-dependant then other peers, and the newer small economical cars are getting more arrogent by the year.
It does not JUST takes you from A to B.
You can have sex in it.
you can eat in it.
you can escape from society
you can sleep in it.
you can watch a movie in it.
OMG, the list goes on and on.
It is NOT just a mechanical thing.
What are you? some kind of Tree Hugging Hippie? Are you Amish?
Really. The things you say.
shame on you.
I love my car, and I bathe her (with me in it) for 13.95 every Tuesday. Then we go eat and talk about sad people like you that abuse their cars. -

I love my 2002 Jeep Liberty, yet I have never named it. Nor have I named any of my other cars. However, I loved 'em everyone. I understand the level of love and affection one feels for their vehicle, so giving it a name is just an extension of that.
Oh, and to sum up what it does for me.it gives me independence like nothing else can. Just last Monday I returned from a cross county road trip amounting to roughly 4,500 miles. What sights I've seen that could not be accomplished by walking, bicycling, or flying. Priceless.
P.S. I do name my bicycles. Just got a new mountain bike and am waiting to see what name unfolds.
