All my cars have names too, but they just kinda happen. Each car was given their name from one of my friends... 77 Buick: Lucy (reminded them of Lucille Ball) 94 Pontiac: Baby Cruiser (because it was too new for a name, according to Vicky) 59 Dodge: Miss Charlotte (infested with spiders in the darnest places)

My 59 Chevy Truck Is Named Lucy Cause That Bitch Is All Over The Road. My 48 Ford Sedan Is Nameless At This Point. I Really Need To Drive Her First.
The gasser bug is named 'ShieBekasten' (german for shitbox) Apparantly Henry Ford was offered the Volkswagen company just after the war by the British, and said something along the lines that he 'wanted nothing to do with that nazi shitbox' Possibly bullshit, but a good enough story to name a car over (and the car is shitty anyhow...)

I always thought of naming cars was queer. I hate it when magazines toss names at the tops of car stories. If I ever built a car that was magazine worthy I would probably have a name pinstriped on it though to avoid them making up their own name. It would have to be god-awful though. Something like "Penis Envy" or "The Abortion", or my favorite, "Ram Rod"
My 3 year old calls the REO the "Scarey Car". I refer to is as "Rose Bud". In Memory of my Dad and his Desoto he called Rose Bud.. (Lame,... I know)
Mines "Buffy", even my non car friends who dont even know what kind of car she is always refer to her as such..."hows buffy?" etc. I dont care if its cool or not I name shit....New plant for my living room is called LENNY... Maiki
I was calling mine M.I.P. for Modified In Progress. My Grandson started calling it "Air Biscuit" . You see his Mom told him it was alright to say that instead of fart. Actually it fits the car pretty well.

One of my friends in the car club gave my car it's name "Stray Kat". Thats because I usually travel by myself and we are liable to show up anywhere and everywhere.

We all call my dad's 1985 Chevy SCottsdale 10 the Turd, bcause it's cream colored and rusty, My friend Called My Biscayne the Biscuit, and it stuck. My Friend's '76 Ford F-150 is the Beast.
Only named one car and I called it my "Barney Fife Car" a Ford Galaxie Police interceptor...!!!! It was still in it's Black and White (Holstien) paint with a hole in the roof where the Cherry was located.....!!!
No name, just refer to it as the Hotrod. Always thought naming your car was as lame as naming your genitals. My roadster does ride pretty stiff, use your imagination here.
I don't think cars should get names, although I have found myself referring to them as "her" or "she". After all, cars are an in-animate object. If you ask a female about her car, she will probably refer to her car as a "he". Weird. I always refer to them by their given name..such as "the Cougar" or "the Thunderbird", or "the Impala". It always gets my point across. I find myself correcting people when they refer to my cars by their color. Example: "You drove that one car to work last week, what is it; the yellow & gold car?" I reply "you mean the Grand Marquis?" they say "Yeah, the big pimpmobile." I am okay with that. Somone wrote me about my progress on the '51 Mercury chassis swap I'm doing; they referred to it as the "Lincury" and I kind of like that. I've taken to using it during discussions about it, since it's an accurate representation of combining the two cars...better than "Frankenstein" at least... Derrogatory nicknames seem to be more common: I called Six Shooter's '63 Biscayne the "Bisquit" because I don't believe it really ran...one friend's Olds Delta 88 was nicknamed "Deltaforce" when we were in High School...after a cartoon...my Chevelle was called a "Shovel" by several people...mostly all our cars were referred to by their factory monicker. Maybe it's a Midwest thing... Mercman
Because of the constant hassle and head-ache associated with my wagon, it got the name Peggy Sue ".....'cause if you knew Peggy Sue, then you'd know why i feel blue..." That, or "shitfighter"
How can you properly address anyone or anything without a proper name? I forget some of their names, sorry girls. There was the Warbird, she was a brief fling, traded her to Tom Taylor for Warbird II. II did wheelies after I spent some long nights and weekends stuffing her full of big inches and drilling holes until she lost enough weight. There was my big girl simply known as "The 'Ville". My best friend still talks about her ten years later about all the good times we had with her. My Catalina is known as the Cat', but in private I call her Baby, Doll, and her proper name is Grace. She stuck with me through the shit, and when I had nothing left, I still had her. My new bitch is named Mary Jane Rottencrotch. She's a crusty, rusty, 88 Suburban 4X4 that hauls parts and scares the ghetto boys. FWIW, I also have a name for my fearless leader -The Jersey Meathook.
