alright, i know those of you who have a car have probaly named it, at least once, or if your like me youve driven a car that your friends have named for you especially if its kinda a beater like my frist cars, so to start this off here are my cars names.

1. Mustang v6 - ryoko, or myeril, my only speeding ticket 25 over $250

2. thunderbird- milly or as it has become to be know " the bird of doom" yet to run project car oh yeah my parents named this one the purple dragon before i was born, its a fitting name its purple huge and its got a huge engine 7 liters.

3. midget- mostly i call it "the blitz buggy", but its name is kitsune

4. my now lost jeep- jeepy or "old whitey" had almost 300,000 mile before she went, also the only vehicle ive been in an accident with.

5. old caravan also gone - "the yello van" it was tan at one point but faded yello putty color

6. 1989 lincoln- "stinkin lincoln" my parents named that one cause it kept brakeing down. i was the only one that could drive it cause cars dont break with me very often. i dunno why they just dont. this one went along time ago.

Oldphil named his old Cavalier "Arthur," because it had a big dent in the side. Those of you who've read much Douglas Adams will know what I'm talking about. ;)

I decided while washing my car this morning it shall be called Drake the Hawaiian Duck...just Drake for short. It's green with a gold trim (very mallard-like). The hawaiian part is because my steering wheel has a red hawaiian flower print on it. ^^

My first car was a red 1988 (Plymouth?) Colt with a Mitsubishi engine; my sister the car expert once called it "a great body with a crummy engine". Too many times in the cold of winter the engine would stall on me in the middle of the road so I would often end up late for work and/or coming home. Eventually we had to junk it, and to even this day I have it dubbed "You Stupid Thing."

My second and current car, a blue-green 1994 Mercury Topaz, has an engine that actually works (although for some reason my sister doesn't like Ford products) and unlike "You Stupid Thing", it has air conditioning. I never actually gave this one a name but after thinking about it I'm leaning towards "Amy".

You think? ^_^

I drive a 1990 Chevy Lumina. It has 2 things that work in it: the driver's side seatbelt, and the passenger's side sun visor. Everything else in the entire car has a problem with it. You name it, it needs to be replaced. Even the paint job is shot. We call it "The Ghettomobile."

Ok, here we go....

"Bane" - Dodge Intrepid 1996 - I've never driven a car that had as many mechanical problems as this one had. It was far from intrepid.

"Floater" - 1996 Buick Park Avenue - it was like driving a hover craft

"Slimer" - 1977 GMC Sierra - the color explains the name

"Chief Montero" - 2000 Mitsubishi Montero- I dunno, I thought it fit.

"Newbie" - '04 Mitsubishi Endeavor - It's new and nice!

I call my boyfriend's car (Toyota Corolla Champagne color) "Dusty" since that's how it looks after travelling through highways during summer (borrowed his car during the summer for my last internship)

I now own a sporty red colored Toyota myself and haven't figured out the name yet...Anyone with bright ideas for red cars? And NO, I won't accept Rosey or Rusty or something like that! haha ;)

Well, I have only owned two cars, and I didn't name the second one. However, my first car was a 1990 Ford Escort LX... Its color - grape. Hence me naming it "The Grape Ape". :thumb:
