My blue civic back in 2005 was nicknamed cobalt. “You can take cobalt to pick dad up at the airport”. Something I had picked up from Gone in 60 seconds that I found cool (naming cars, not cobalt)

    My spouse had a suped up Challenger named Gurtrude. It was a funny reaction when people saw it for the first time. They expected a beater.

    I don’t have one. I don’t want one. I don’t need one. I won’t be getting one. I’ll add an N to that and call it None. Thanks.

    Had a bright blue Twingo, called it the smurfette. Now have a slightly more boring black Dacia, name of Lady Blackbird.

    My car is brown.

    The first time I brought it home without telling my wife the color, she was unimpressed and said that it was “shart colored”.

    We immediately named it “El Sharto”, and 5 years later the name has stuck

    we named our first electric car “White Fire” as an hommage to the launch roller coaster “Blue Fire” in the theme park Europa Park (Germany) near where we live.

    In January we gave back the white car to the leasing company and got a gray one, which is now named “Greyfire”.

    I bought a Tesla Model 3 back when they were new and I like Halo, so I named it “Silent Cartographer” for both being quiet and going places. It’s wordy AND nerdy, so I don’t really refer to it by its name.

    My current vehicle is The Blue Meanie.

    Previously, I had a Kia that I called The Kill Ya, a cavalier that I dubbed The Crasholier, and my first car I called The B-Mobile.

      Haha, I was reading through these and realized we both named our catch a rides after a borderlands theme. Mine is Hyperion, or hype for short.

    My last car was named Alice after the “Alice in Chains” mix cd that was left in the cd changer when I bought it.

    My current car isn’t named, because I think it might be cursed and I don’t want to give any more power to it.

    My first car was a green buick lasabre that I got from a relative. It was held together by duct tape and redneck engineering, and wasn’t even supposed to make it through high school. As a condition for receiving the car, I had to continue calling it the green hornet. Ever since, my cars have been named after a famous movie vehicle. My current car is a blue civic, so naturally I had to name it the bluesmobile
