Does Your Car Have a Name?

Other than it's "Brand" name given by the factory, ie: Ford Victoria, Honda Prius, Toyota Camry...do you assign these items names like pets?

Does it have a "nickname"? One that you gave it based on it's 'personality'?

It doesn't have to be a car, it can be any vehicle...Motorcycles, Bicycles, etc.

For instance, some vehicles just 'reveal' themselves...like the FIAT sports car I used to have named 'Tony', as in "Fix It Again Tony" :p

Something practical to yell at it, when it won't start in the morning and needs a "pep-talk"...

Just curious...

      Well, 'Jeep' was a nickname originally...for "GP" - (General Purpose) vehicle

    I've never named a car, although I did have an old '42 Ford coupe once that people may have thought had a name. I used to say "Come on, start!" to it enough that it could have easily been taken for for its name.

    Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.

    Was it a nice one like that yellow 48 Ford Super DeLuxe ragtop Mr. Miyagi had in the Karate Kid movie? That was sweet!

      Not even close. It was one I was fixing up. The body was primed and almost ready for a nice paint job. The interior was barely started. It made me say "Come on, start" one too many times and I traded it for more reliable transportation. I was going into the Navy and needed something I could count on, and back then I couldn't afford two cars. Wish I had it back now though.
