Does anyone name their cars?

skittleslegend · 02-17-2006, 07:19 PM

Anybody else have female or male names for their cars? I take care of my cars like I take care of the women in my life and I like to have names for them because I feel a personal attachment and pride for the work I do with them, whether it's a mod here and there or just cleaning and detailing them. My Legend was Gloria, and if I'd gotten the Habanero Si that's available locally, I would've called her Thalia. I still might call the Fiji Thalia. Unless someone comes up with a better name. Just curious if anybody else does this.

Gloria's got a broken leg.

And she's a little uncoordinated. Once she starts running, she has a hard-time stopping.

I forget to add, my 97 Civic's name was Susan. She was a redhead and she was tons of fun. A little on the slow side, but when it was time to move, she was always ready.

Haha. Ain't no thang.

I had a 91 Nissan Maxima named Maxine. I haven't thought of a name for the Civic yet. I just call her "Cutie Pie" for now...

(I gotta stop watching Boondocks)

Driving91LX · 02-18-2006, 10:20 AM

I call my '06 civic "the new car", my '01 civic "the old civic", and the pilot "the pilot". I love and appreciate them but can't bring myself to give them names. Maybe I'm just booooorrrriinnnng :rolleyes:

FigiSi06 · 02-19-2006, 07:49 PM

2002 Protege5 - "The P fizzle" "P5"
2003 Sentra Spec V - "The Spec Vizzle"
2005 Scion Xb - "The X bizzle" "the box"
2006 Civic Si - "The S Izzle" "The Si"

I did the snoop dog thing just to irritate my wife, then the name theme stuck. It's damn funny.

Whitey_14 · 03-10-2006, 12:22 PM

my 2006 Civic i gave her the name Veronica since the car came with a v-tec sticker on the side just cute i thought haha

New Fiji Si is "Dash" for the character from "The Incredibles" not for the interior styling.

'97 Miata was Yoshime (any Flaming Lips fans out there?)

**8thgenuser** · 05-10-2006, 08:20 PM

If you pick a girl's name, choose your GF's name. In fact, you should just name it after your GF. That will keep you out of trouble.

Hmm. Well, if we analogize this to a heart-tattoo on your chest...then maybe it should be "Mom?"

Well, just as long as it isn't "Sy," as a family member of mine keeps suggesting...:rolleyes:

xtv-sidecar · 05-10-2006, 09:27 PM

Her name is sway, Hab red SI.(From Gone in 60 seconds.)

HoustonSi06 · 05-11-2006, 12:40 AM

Dori. She is blue, and she always tells me "just keep driving, just keep driving".
