Name your car!

[kingston]

My track car is Siobhan
My coupe is Hanne.

I just knew what their names were, just like my kids when they were born :)

My MG is named Gigit, but the touring doesn't have a name.

Is it a Midget?

[Hooffenstein HD]

I don't really name them but I give my project threads a somewhat relevant name. So, I guess you could call my 2.7 M20 swapped 318iS "Stroker Ace" and my gutted, lightweight 323i "Do The Ton". Generally if I'm talking about them, I just refer to them as shit heap, piece of crap, slut, etc.

I usually say "yeah I drive bmw... But it's an 85 and I bought it for $400 and towed it home. I'm fixing everything." Somehow people still want my babies.

I think it's kind of strange naming a car with a human name. It's like naming a pet with a human name.. Like calling your dog peter or jim. I just call my car what it is.. A box haha.

I give pets human names. Spot and Fluffy are pretty generic.

Is that short for something?

[E30_Pare]

Named my e30 Christine after she finally died in a wreck.


My 190 is named Olive, cause it just fits.

I guess there are just some "pet" names for pets, though this tradition of naming cars has gone on for a long time, so I started to wonder when it became a tradition, and how we chose the names. Now I guess I either wait till mine come to mind, or they are given a name

[Ether-D]

Yeah, I'm with dude about my cars not being female. When my car acts up, I fix it, and it doesn't get mad at me for it. So, clearly not female.

That said, both of my e30's are nameless dudes. I refer to them as "The vert" or "The project".

[Mwishlist]

My e90 is Meg because that's what the state plates say.

My wife and I decided to name the e30 vert Scarlet because a) she's a redhead and b) she's topless; so that pretty much makes her a whore.

My ETA was named Ron, because Burgundrot.

My M3 is named Emma, because M...

No it hasn't. Naming cars started maybe 20 years ago.
