Re: Have you named your Cars?
I had a 1982 Camaro that we called Debbie... I don't think I've named any of the other 5.. She had a hell of an attitude that car.
Re: Have you named your Cars?
I call mine :The Blue Dragon: kind of stole Will Farrels idea from Old School he called his second gen The Red Dragon.
read through all the post was suprised no one else named theirs similar. I did see The Dragon as one though

Re: Have you named your Cars?
Comes from sailors who said they gave their boats Female names because it reminded them of one of the most important person in their life, their mother. Fast forward to our age and we choose female names for the sex appeal. Do not mix the sailor mentality with the new age mentality or you get....

I call my white 89 beauty "Grace"
she is especially graceful when she leaks gallons of oil and destroyes her own transmission.

Re: Have you named your Cars?
My '90 RS acquired my nickname of "Hawke" and though it seems the norm to view one's vehicle as "female", I've always seen mine as "male". Won't get into the reasons why, though....

Re: Have you named your Cars?
I named my GTA after my best friend's wife. They helped me find her and load her onto the trailer to bring her home. That was the last time I ever saw her before she passed.
So my car is "Wendy".

Re: Have you named your Cars?
I feel a little embarrassed here, but my girl's name is Bandit. She's a piece of s**t, but she's my honey, and even though she's going to cost me about as much as my fiancee will, I wouldn't trade her for anything. Mind you, the Van Halen symbol and the big "3" is temporary masking tape. The "3" is actually getting painted on her. For now, anyways.

Re: Have you named your Cars?
My '86 Camaro is Knocker

Developed a knock on the way home after buying it.
Never went and purposely thought of a name for any car I've owned. They more or less just fit right and stuck. Had a yellow '73 240Z a few years ago. Called it Nuprin. Little. Yellow. Different.

Re: Have you named your Cars?

Re: Have you named your Cars?
I always thought only chicks named their cars... but I sometimes refer to mine as 'Laura' (my ex-wife's name), just to **** her off- she HATES that car!
Still, cars are better than women- they don't need much warming up; you can get into them whenever you want; when you are done, you turn a key and they shut up immediately; you can ignore them for as long as you want; and no one gets upset when you trade them in for a younger model!

Once I get my Holley Stealth Ram installed along with all of my awesome new mods I'll name my baby "Holly Z". So whenever I get new plates I'll request they be named Holly Z because she is my baby.

Re: Have you named your Cars?
Decided to name my 84 Z28 Jayden. Not sure why I picked Jayden, but I've always thought it was unique.
Until I have my first kid (girl) or wreck the car, she will be named Jayden.

Haha I remember my buddies old 84 TA he called Pepsi because he knew when he junked it he'd be drinking soda out of it a few years later!
