How many people named their car

kihtay · 12-24-2016, 12:49 AM

So who named their car... What did you name it and why?

I realized I haven't a name for mine. All of my bikes have a name, but I actually don't have a name for the hellrot e36 m3 or the z4mc

The Ghost - because it looks like one to my wife, and it's her car

racerbruce · 12-25-2016, 05:25 PM

Red Roadster....

chickdr · 12-26-2016, 11:28 AM

Mine was named "Sonya" by my girlfriend.

Huz-Z · 12-26-2016, 12:44 PM

Back in the day I had an old mustang that gave me a lot of trouble. It had many names, none of which are suitable for print.

SlickShift · 12-26-2016, 05:54 PM

Blue...because, ya know, it's blue.

coo-pey · 12-26-2016, 07:31 PM

Zed. Not so much a proper name, but I call it that on occasion.

wspohn · 12-26-2016, 08:20 PM

Always thought giving names to inanimate objects was a bit odd......

If they don't come when I call them, they are just 'the car'.

kihtay · 12-28-2016, 12:18 PM

I think it's cute :P But I'm childish lol

I have a name for all of my bikes, but neither of my cars have a name. I had just referred to the e36 as the M, but now with the z4mc it doesn't work as well

Huz-Z · 12-31-2016, 11:56 AM

I'll go with "The Tardis" because it looks bigger on the inside.

Jackal · 01-03-2017, 05:07 PM

I name all my cars, and have since my first. I always choose a "B" name for some reason.

When I got her, I took some time to drive her and get a feel for her before naming. A friend of mine said she felt Brynn and Bianca are two good names. Brynn sounds like the lovely refined lady in short skirt and pearls. She followed up by saying that Bianca sounds more like the leather and spiked heels Crazy Ex kinda thing. You love her, but you're also a little afraid.

After my first run at an autocross with the nanny's off and crap, dead tires... I named her Bianca.

The list so far:

Beth 68 VW Custom Beetle
Bird 05 Lada Niva
Betty 03 Stage 3 WRX
Beatrice 99 Birkin S3 (Lotus 7 replica)
Bess 12 Jeep JK
Biene 08 BMW 135i
Bernadette 06 Cayman S
Bianca 06 BMW Z4MC

86Zed · 01-03-2017, 06:05 PM

Giselle - German bombshell need I say more

Sloane - my previous affliction and first car [Entourage - Emmanuelle Chriqui]

Kristoff - my wife's car

ShakyDog · 01-05-2017, 11:25 AM

These threads pop up from time to time, I name all my vehicles:

2007 Z4 - Lucy
Wife's 2006 Scion TC - Cloie
2011 Tundra - Moby Duck
2009 RZR S - Courage (for sale)
2013 Jagged X - Jagged (original I know)
Older cars
2008 X3 - Black Betty
2011 328ix - Rose
2005 Tundra - Big Black Bart
2000 4Runner - Silver (as in Hi ho Silver away)

I must drive a vehicle to determine its name, the name will come to me with the character of their drive or nature. Heck, I even named one of the 3series coupes I drove as a loaner, she was a slut named Celeste. She liked to be driven hard.

Cars tend to be female, trucks male, the off-road toys are just smaller trucks.

Always referred to my 2 seaters as "the rocket sled", and the Wife's Suburban or Expedition as "the Mother ship".

bosstones · 01-05-2017, 08:46 PM

My first 2 cars didn't have names or references. I only did that after college.

1993 ZJ was aptly named "Jeep"
2004 ZHP was aptly named "ZHP"
2011 MCS was just "Mini"

2014 X1 is sometimes referred to as "Blue" otherwise just "X1"
2007 Z4MC is "Zim".....after the cartoon character from Invader Zim. Dangerous enough to do damage won't ultimately conquer the world.

I like how you think!

Slickback_Ben · 01-07-2017, 08:16 PM

Mine's named Genie since its the same shade of blue as the late Robin William's Genie from Aladdin.

Jackal · 01-07-2017, 09:02 PM

Damn! I love that blue!!

tiltmode43 · 01-08-2017, 09:02 PM

Surprised nobody has named their ///M, "Emily" - a coworker of mine legitimately refers to his E46M as E///Mily and I cringelol every time.

No names for me, bikes or cars.

That makes me think that any M Roadster owners who remember the 1980's could go with ///Max Headroom.

z4m_06 · 01-15-2017, 10:53 PM

I named mine ///MUFASA

Funny. A guy in a parking lot says, "hey, what is her name." i said huh. He says, "what is her name?"

I said, she doesnt have one. And he says, "she should."

It made me feel bad. I never name my cars. I do love her though.
