Car names

[Lil-Steve]

Ok this may sound childish to some but I\'ve not settled on a name for my FD and I\'ve had her for 3 years now, it was easy to name my old cars but nothing has really stuck. :o
 
I was wondering if some of you could enlighten me with you car\'s name and how/why it got that name?
 
We used to call my old Supra "the Falcon" from time to time en hommage to the Millenium Falcon --> fast but ultimately unreliable.

I think people who don\'t name their vehicles are either soulless cads or just really, genuinely odd .

My car is called Ruby. Cos she\'s red, and a complete fduking biatch. It\'s short for Rubysaurus Rex (which is my wife\'s fault :o) and also short for Ruby Ruby Ruby ahhhahhhhhhhhhahahah Do Yer Do Yer Do Yer...which is another story entirely.

My last one was called the Armageddon Rag after the book of the same name in which the \'hero\' drove an RX-7. Errrm, called Daydream as it goes, but it was "only" a 1st Gen anyway. Mine was called that cos it was apocalyptically loud and made my ears bleed and my head vibrate, as much as anything.

If that made sense, you must be on the same prescription as me, what are the odds :rollin

My new(to me rx4) is cj in memory of my gran (joyce) and grandad (courtney) my grandad died several hours after on the night i bought the car :-(

Nik it seems were not too disimilar I tend to anthropomorphise just about anything and can often be seen patting the cars\' roof after a reliable drive and huggling the steering wheel after a "mad half hour".
 
(Though with my seating position you don\'t really get a choice on whether you hug the steering wheel or not... diddy legs and all that)
 
I rather liked Sadako but it\'s too evil and Rita but that\'s cliche\'d now because of the Alton Towers ride.....
 
As you can probably tell sanity and I don\'t see each other as often as we might :Hammer

Hmm I must be souless an odd! I\'ve never named any of my cars probably because they don\'t deserve a name, think if I had to give it a name rusty or scrappy come to mind! The gf calls the ford puma Philip for some reason... I think that\'s odd! :chat

[Nik da Greek]

Yeah, you\'re weird lol :rollin

My wife\'s feelthy Hahhhhhhnda is called Rastas. Not through any spurious racism, but it\'s because that\'s what his number plate spells. Her old (whispers) Renault was called Uncle Jaffa because... that\'s what his number plate spelled. Can you see a pattern emerging lol :confused:

My current bike is called Lady because she\'s a fine young filly with a wasp waist and delicately curving flanks and a come-to-bed voice and... ooooh, I think I might have to go for a lie down :o

My first 3rd gen was called Shiela, no idea why I just chose it.  My rx8 was Roxanne but that was because of the number plate had rox in it and Chloe is my current FD because it makes me feel safe after the first 7 caught fire and hit a wall lol

My crap daily drivers tend to have boy names, like Kevin my primera

Im odd too, have never named a car, nor have ever referred to a car as "she"

A car is an "IT" it is an object, some names I have called it are a PITA, complete B stard, POS, worthless piece of cow manure that is a never ending money pit.

I find naming a car strange, you name pets not cars.

I think cars can have a personality as much as pets do, my goldfish I would say has less personality than my car :o

Which part?

For naming pets? Hahaha

Ghats because the goldfish will have forgotten that it had a personality once it was hatched then has spent all the rest of the time trying to remember what it forgot but then forgot again as to what it was trying to remember, a perpetual loop if you like?

My RX8 doesn\'t have a name but my Mondeo gets called Dave by my missus.  It\'s because he\'s reliable, useful but unexciting and that\'s how she sees people called Dave.

Do you remember the pot noodle advert where the guy in the advert had a mate called Dave? Maybe that\'s why she calls it dave? Lol

I`ve named mine Violetta after some georgous Polish girl i had back in 07. High maintanence, expensive and unbelievable performance! Bit like an fd:Ladys-man
