Naming and Shaming

You guys and girls seem to like naming your cars after ladies, with the occasional Oliver thrown in for good measure. I have to say I have a different naming strategy.

Whatever comes into my head more than twice when I turn that key and do my little 'pre-flight check' thinky routine (which occasionally involves talking to myself) seems to stick. Not complex at all. And my stable is as such;

Sergeant Detritus

The Colander

The Boogiemobile

Alfalfa

I don't set out to name them, but through general conversation with friends/family/colleagues, these names become synonymous with their respective vehicle. My missus and colleagues all call the cars by their nicknames.

Countering this, I have specifically named my trailers Betsy and Big Bertha, but that's for work reasons.

Who else has shit names for their cars?

PS: It was my birthday yesterday, and here's my present to myself!

Cobalt is Becky

The farm truck is Bonnie.

I've had Bertha, Sheila, Shelly, Kate, and a few other cars named.

Some were never named due to short ownership. Some I hated so much I never named them out of spite.

It took forever to figure out a name for my car, I even had a poll at school and didn't like any of the suggestions. Eventually I settled on Emma because the ones of the Watson and Stone variety are not bad looking at all.

Oh the ones named IN spite are the best! I once had one called Farty McShitbox, because it was shit, and the exhaust kept breaking.

I feel that naming it shows some sort of love for it.... so I decided cars I truly despise got no name at all. haha

Other cars were in my hands and then out within days....just for profit.

Met a stripper called India once, and it was her real name. Said I was gonna take her away from all that, run away, and live happily together forever and ever. Then she got her cock out and I left.

Many a set of English wheels might do well with a dwarf-crafted cooling helmet.

I refer to my BMW as the Sonata and my Sonata as the BMW, just to confuse all people, even me.

Sheena was a man.

I have only ever named one car, and it was my 1991 Cherokee. I named her Sheila because she was white, trashy, and loved to get dirty.

I miss you, babe. Someday we will be reunited in Jeep heaven, I promise.

What do you say when you want to show off though? 'Oh don't worry about getting a taxi, I've got the Sonata outside....' :)

No, when I'm really trying to get 'em moistened up, I break out the big guns- The Festiva. (It's a 1964 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud)

Only ladies in the Festiva. Also the Feastiva is imaginary. the closest thing to a rolls royce in my household is an XTS, so…..yeah

91 Corrola was named Suzzy the Shitbox

96 Voyager was named Bessy but was commonly referred to as my shaggin' wagon. . .

07 Focus was named the Black Rocket, it took me 2 years to come up with that name and it was only after I got pulled over for some high speed understeer put me in the gravel on an on ramp and spewed gravel at a cops windshield. . . . And somehow I didn't get a ticket from it.

99 Miata is named Cookie. . . Which is basically a stripper name so it works for a Miata. . .
