Had a new 65 Chevelle, called it "Satisfaction". Some years later saw a 65 Chevelle race care with that name on the side!
LIVË WIRË Bobbleed named it after we were listing to alot of Motley Crue during the build..
my pontiac is named "the wife" by my friends and family, it ****s every last penny out of me. But in this case its worth it.
My '62 Impala was originally called 'Jeepers Creepers"; I even painted it on the trunk. After the paint job of tintless pure white that burns your retinas in the sun, I renamed it 'Snow Blind' in honor of all the Sabbath we listened to while working on her. Buzzard calls her "Bevin", which means "Fair Lady" in Gaelic because of the color and the big *** "B" (for Los Boulevardos) in a spade on the back-that's too poetic and **** for me!
These are greatness, keep'em comin. I'm not to sure about the girls names as my wife already thinks to much money and spending way to much time with "her".
When I bought my 52 Sedan, I was in the midst of breaking off an engagement. (The car had a little to do with it anyways ). So one day I referred to the car as "Irlene" to kinda get a rise out of my former girlfriend. Then the name stuck. Like glue. My folks, and now my wife and kids call the car "Irlene" to this day. My wife would tell people that I was out "messing around with Irlene", and they'd sure give some funny looks! (I had a crush on Irlene Mandrell when I was a wee lad. )
Had a kool little black primered sedan in '61 called " Chicken Shift". It had a tall *** shifter arm that was only 4 " from the headliner. Also had porta-walls on it. See, things never really change, they just stay low for a while. the ****ster
summer daze b/c i got it in the summer but when its being a pain in the *** its reffered to as voodoo child which is more often that not
my roadster has been always referred to as" ko-techs". we have all heard of "hi-tech", " no-tech"....but i probasbly have the only " ko-techs" it goes so fast it will make your eyes bleed.....cadillac dave
My sig has mine...Herman because it looks like Herman the Munster, black bulky and rock solid. Ethel for the wagon...well, because it just looks like an Ethel. I usually call all of them by pet names too..."*****," the ever popular "son-of a *****", mother f....., and a few names that I don't remember due to rage.
I call my '32 Ford pickup project "The Goat Pen" -- because before I got it, the cab had been used as a goat pen on a farm. The farmer had screwed sheet metal panels covering all the window openings, then tore up a big flap in the middle of the firewall as a door opening for the goats to go in and out, and for ventilation (besides what all the bullet-holes provided) he punched a big ugly hole in the roof with a pick axe.
I have owned- BOB (Beast of Burden) 2 Ton Tomato (eventually just Mr.3T) Turd (one of my bikes) Nurd (my **** bike) Bay City Bomber The Shark The Canoe (it had a longer, not so politically correct name) The '56 hasn't earned a neam yet My dad will only refer to cars in his stories by their names... you have to stop him and ask if you don't know what car he is talking about.

I had the ugliest dam 77 suburban and her name was Peggy Sue. I drove that ugly mother for ten years. She always started and ran 279,000 miles when i sold her. My kids cried like babies when she went.
I always thought naming cars/trucks just for the sake of naming them was stupid. Then I bought Cyrus. My dad's old International was named Cyrus. For Cyrus McCormick, one of the founders of IHC. My new International has just been Cyrus since I got him.
I call my car UGLY.....as everyone that looks at it, says..."thats a UGLY car....what is it?.....never seen a car like that before"...so i even got a p-plate saying UGLY John in AZ
