Car names

Do you or your family name your cars? All our cars end up having names. Some of the names are boring like “the gray minivan.” But they all get names. Right now we have Clifford and the Plum. What do you call your car?

The white minivan is "Moby Dick", and I just decided to start calling the "imported" stationwagon which still has license plates "Surfer Dude"... just because...

Um... the '86 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer... because that's what it is. At one point we called the van "Hunter" because it's green, but we don't tend to name cars...

I call my car "Babe."

I'll have had her for a year this Christmas!

We have "The Van", or the nice van that we got for our trip to Folirda a few years back, and then the van, or Dad's car. It's the not nice car.

i refused to give my car a name because it had previously been the family van for such a long time and never had a name...so it would be too weird to give it a name now. so i just call it my van.

Some of our friends named our van "Wind Chaser" we just call it 'the van' though

I'm sure your car must feel really special.

I named my Ford Escape Kermit because it is green. The next Escape I get is going to be gray and I am naming it Eeyore.

My brother calls his car "sweetie" (yeah... he needs a girl friend... and a life), but other than that, I think those are the only pet names that we have for our cars.

Our van is named "Snowflake" - and yes, it's white. My dad use to have a really old pick-up named, "Buster". He has a different truck now, but it has no name.

We have a big Ford Ecoline van which we name "Big Red" and spiffy Subaru Forrester called "Little Red."

Our aunt's family are the ones who started us calling our vehicles names. Their old van was "Vanna White," their new one is "Ruby," and their car is "Mr. Green Jeans."
