I name all my cars... Usually before I even actually buy them. lol. My GVR-4 is named Lucy. it doesn’t have any specific meaning I just think it suited the car well. It has nothing to do with my weakness toward Scarlet Jo... Okay maybe a little. The previous owner call her “ Mitsy the Black Moose.” after driving it a bit more, it does kinda feel like driving a moose, all heavy yet powerful. ha. But I decided not to keep that name because it’s my car now, and it doesn’t know I changed it’s name. Plus it’s not even black it’s dark grey, duh.

My wife’s Fit is named Louise. As in Louise Blecher of Bob’s Burgers, she even has a sticker of Louise’s bunny ear hat. I was pretty excited to finally see my wife excited about a car enough to give it a name, and personalize it a bit. It starts with a sticker here, then a CIA and some aftermarket rims, or maybe a subwoofer, and some under dash LEDs, then the next thing you know your ordering a supercharger kit and lowering springs. MUWHAHAHA!

So Do you name your cars? if so what’s your car’s name, and what does it mean.

My BMW is named the Blue Falcon. It’s military lingo for ‘buddy fucker’. Because of what she does to my wallet.

I recently made a snarky remark to a buddy, who is a big VAG gay, about how I bought my wife a Honda Fit, instead of a Golf because I was afraid of getting VW all over my wallet. Then he mentioned that at this point I’ve pretty much got Mitsubishi tattooed on my left ass cheek... he had a valid point.

All my cars and the names they’ve had:

1991 Toyota Camry - The Silver Shitbox (It was silver and a shitbox.)

1994 Ford Ranger - The Punk (It was small, power nothing and 2WD. But it had a certain style to it.)

1984 Chevrolet Camaro Berlinetta - Rolling Tetanus (It rolled more than drove and was rusted everywhere. EVERYWHERE [in Cleveland’s voice])

1996 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer - Exploder (I replaced almost every single part on this car. Do I really need to explain?)

2011 Chevrolet Aveo - Tiny Beast (This car took everything I threw at it and then some. It drove the Yukon roads with 1,000 pounds of stuff in it. It’s a 2,000 pound car. Something should have broken. Nothing did. Ever. No matter how many dirt roads I went sideways on. I actually miss that car.)

2000 Dodge Dakota - The Beast (5.9L Magnum engine mated to a 5-speed manual. In a small truck. I’m surprised I only had to change the tires once in the 2 and a half years I owned it. That was a fun truck. She is definitely missed. Especially since I found out from some old coworkers that are still in Alaska that the guy I sold it to has already destroyed the rear end. Fucker.)

2010 Ford Explorer - I haven’t really settled on a name yet. I’m thinking The Tourist as it’s the first time I’ve been stationed oversea’s and it’s the first car that I’ve owned to go oversea’s. I guess we’ll have to see.

Next week I'm buying a coworkers 2000 Renault Megane. I need to find a name for that.

Our family Sienna doesn’t have a name but I call it the Swagger Wagon. Direct crude translation from the Cantonese names we call them.

Lexus GX: Big Headed Turtle. (Translation: Huge ass car.)
Lexus LS: Pumpkin Car (Translation: Something like Cinderella’s Carriage.)

1985 Pontiac Fier0 2M4 - Millenium Falcon. Mostly because it looked like crap and was slow but got me everywhere I ever needed to be reliably and in suspiciously good time.

1998 Honda Civic E/HX - Steve. Dark green coupe on satin grey wheels named after Steve McQueen because I love Bullitt.

Bonus:

My dad’s old 1961 Ford Econoline 100 - The Wonder Van. Because he was in a van club in the late-80s/early-90s. I miss that thing.

I have given some names to my cars but only if there’s is a danger of mix up with my other cars or friends’ cars. And the given names usually only have something to do with their license plates or some detail that describe them well. So far these cars carried some kind of name:

Veu-Kadett. An Opel Kadett with a license plate starting with VEU. Veu doesn’t mean anything in any known language to my but is easy to pronounce.

Pörinä-Kadett. A similar Kadett than Veu-Kadett but it had super loud exhaust noise. Pörinä means buzz in Finnish.

Osmo. A VW Polo that had license plate starting with OSM. Osmo is a common man name in Finland.

Slalom-Polo. A similar Polo (but sedan) than Osmo but I was building it for auto slalom.

Mätä-Rekord. An Opel Rekord than was really rusty but it had been patched up with fiberglass. It was able to hide really bad rust damage. Mätä means rotten in Finnish.

Mätä-Ascona. You probably get this without explaining...

At some point I had the Buick Electra wagons at the same time but I didn’t give them any specific names.

In the garage only one of the cars actually has an “official” name thats used to reference it. The others are just loose names the car is called.

Above is Miss Taboo, she’s been named that since 1958, it’s a 56 chevy, the name came when the original owners dad saw his son customizing the car and yelled at him it was taboo to cut up a nice new car and the name has stuck since.

I refer to my 33 ford as ol reliable because in all my life it has never failed to start and has always gotten me home.

The camaro I just seem to call ol blue. Don't know why I just do

I’ve only named 2 cars - both shitboxes.

1988 Toyota Pickup that enjoyed eating head gaskets was named POST. Piece of Shit Truck.

2008 Honda Fit that eats headlight bulbs (which, due to a serious lack of intelligent design, you need to remove the front wheel and wheel liner to change) is named Piece of Fit.

Boo Radley, after the TKAM character.

Much like in the book, I was initially scared of driving it. It had been my grandpa’s vehicle for a few years, passed down to my dad and I. I was in my mid teens and everything about it was strange. Then after high school I bought a Mk1 Rabbit, learned to drive a manual, and my dad and I worked on Boo. Eventually I tried again at the ole three on the tree, and figured it out. Now it’s my (beloved) only car and I’m in for the long term.

Other car names:
1981 VW Rabbit Convertible 5spd- Freja

1992 Ford Probe 2.2L 5spd- The Anal Probe (featured on NPOCP in its last iteration)

1992 Honda Civic HB D16 5spd- Ren (Horrible. Just horrible)

Two equally excellent shows, except Archer Vice which I kind of didn’t like.

I saw the cast each perform a stand up comedy set then do a live reading of their upcoming Halloween episode and it was awesome! They showed some clips of the episode which haven’t had sound effects or color added to the animation, it looks like there is some freaky cult outside Bob’s house and everyone is inside trying to hide in the bathroom.

Oh and the stand up was VULGARRRRR as hell, people had brought their kids around 9-10 years old and all I could think was Oh no! The guy who voices Linda is a gay comedian who was making the most hilariously vulgar gay jokes.

I have named only a few of my cars ....

Ruby - 1975 Corvette Stingray (Red)

Silvia - 2001 Subie 2.5 RS (silver)

Florence - 1995 Acura Integra GS-R (Red)

Martha - 1995 M3 (silver)

All in all I have had 20 cars and only 4 of them got a name. I kind of want to stay detached emotionally from my vehicle because I know I am going to keep it for a while and I may hate it so I would rather not get emotional when I sell it. We are a weird bunch of people us car geeks.

My first to cars ha guy names. Iggy, and Kenji. Iggy was a 92 Camry named after Iggy which is what the dub of Initial D I watched called Itsuki. and Kenji because I was way into Fort Minor at the time, and I wanted a Japanese name for it. My third car how ever was names Mary Jane, as in Mary Jane Watson. It was red and I’m a huge Spiderman nerd. It slowly changed to just Jane tho to avoid the weed reference.

My Escort is named Gretchen, after a girl I didn’t meet at summer camp. Yes, there’s a story behind that: See, at this summer camp, we all made “mail boxes” so we could share notes and whatnot with each other. On the last day, I found a list of girls’ phone numbers in mine, but I didn’t recognize any of the names. On the way home, I texted the first one: Gretchen. She told me that the list was meant for her cabin-mates and she had no idea how it ended up in my mailbox. We kept talking and didn’t really hit it off or anything, but somehow we ended up adding each other on Facebook. So that’s when I learned that her full name is Gretchen West. Holy shit, that is probably the most badass name of anyone I’ve ever known. And since we never talk, I didn’t feel weird giving that name to my car.

Mitsubishi lancer earned it’s nickname, Mitsubitchy, got it when I was taking auto repair classes, it frequently would be a little bitch and not communicate with the schools code scanners, at first thought it was the scanners used till they got a brand new one of a different model. Still does it, usually takes a couple of tries to pull codes, no idea why.

Indeed. I get emotionally attached to all my cars. but I also get bored an buy something else in a year or two. In fact until my last Civic came along my average time to keep a car was just 8-9 months. and that’s including one car I had for 2.5 years. And the only reason i had the last one for over a year(19 months to be exact) was I had a loan on it so I couldn’t sell it and have enough left over for something else.

I think Lucy is going to be around for awhile tho. Mostly because I am determined to fix every problem she has, which is going to be a long and expensive process.

It was a rusty, abused, swapped, piece of crap. I put way too much money into it, believing if I fixed enough things it would be a great car. It was past the point of no return. I found a fist sized hole in the rain tray and...

And thank you on the truck. It’s a good vehicle. Unfortunately needs a lot of deferred maintenance and fixes, but since I don’t rely on it for transportation that’s not a big deal.

Yeah Rust is a big problem with Hondas. That one reason I loved my 91 hatch so much. it was 99.9 percent rust free. Now the rocker panels are completely go tho, and the last time I went to start her up she wouldn’t go, even after a push start she wouldn’t stay running :(. Still the best and toughest car I’ve ever owned.

She’s actually had two names. She was Jane when I daily drove it, then after gettign rear ended by an Oldsmobile she became “the bomber” as she is now doing field bombing/ rally car duty.

Yeah I’m sure if my Civic would have been in great condition I would have loved it. It was great to drive, but the little and big problems ended up overshadowing any joy. I guess I probably shouldn’t buy an old Italian car any time soon...
Yours looks... well used. Sounds like you got few good miles under the belt though, and that’s what a Honda is best at! These are great cars to rally, too- I’ve seen several 3rd to 5th gen Civics and CRX’s compete at LSPR.
