I always enjoy watching Sabine. She always looks like she’s having a great time. Can’t help but be happy while watching.

My uncle’s old, green F-series’ name is Clarence.

Because of course it is.

She just emanates joy.

She’s goofy, but her enthusiasm is just so pure, you can’t fault her for it.

I have given some kind of names to some of my cars. But the names are more like descriptions:

Mätä-Ascona (rotten Ascona)
Ruosteeton Lapin A uto (Rust free car from Lapland, rust part wasn’t actually true but I did buy it from Lapland )
Veu- Kadett (Opel Kadett with license p la te starting with VEU)
Pörinä-Kadett (loud exhaust Opel Kadett)

Umm, anytime I could get in a car with Sabine, I would. Scare away!

I’ve named my last 2 cars:

Max was a 2016 Ford Exploder. CAR fell off a couple after I got it and left MAX.

Sully is my current ‘01 Su babru Legacy E.

AwesomeaustinV had to go and name my car for me. What did he come up with? Geoff. Geoff with a G. It is annoyingly appropriate.

My car was named “Bruce” but I don’t really call it bruce. Just “cruiser”. For a while it was known as “the mighty moo” because of the I6 noise. as opposed to “the boat” GX470 because of the excellent burble of the V8.

I was about to say I’ve never named my cars, but we regularly refer to my WRX as the zippy car. My wife liked to call her Explorer “ Big Mama.” The Outback came from my mom, so we sometimes call it the MimiMobile.

I’ve never named mine either. I just can’t anthropomorphize them like a lot of enthusiasts do. Maybe it’s the farm boy in me or something? Anyway, it’s nice that Chevy puts her initials on their high performance options.

I gave my first three cars feminine names (Astra/FoST/944 -> Shirley/Charlotte/Erika)

After thinking that was a bit cringey, s tarting with the Mustang, i just switched to nicknames or themed names (“ Scout” like a horse name and ironically the name of the female protagonist from one of my favorite books, Catcher in the Rye. Or the Pony Express because LOL).

The 931 never actually got a proper nickname and I haven’t been able to think up one yet. It’d have to be something undeniably German....
