Do you name your car, or is it just me?

Post by c3rbera »

Who here has named their car (like...Cyndy or something, idk), we all know of Red Rocket, but I'm merely curious, and what names?
I think I've discussed this with someone before, how we refer to cars as 'he' or 'she', like there's sort of a personality in that.

Personally I couldn't not name mine, just doesn't seem right haha.

Never named the FTO.
But it always gets referred too by its license plate.

All of the significant cars I've had have had names!

My black SL/E was named "Black Beauty", and everybody always referred to her as such.
My VK was called 'white trash', mainly because it was a piece of sh*t.
My car's called red rocket, and despite many other cars having that same name, i don't give a f**k what people say it, because that's what i named it the minute i first took it for a spin. It's not like i'm the only person in the world named Jack :lol:

Ahahahahahaha that is both terrible and beautiful at the same time. :lol:

I was on the fence about calling mine Effie but as the story goes I was seeing a Greek guy at the time, which would've seemed a bit weird...

So Pandora it was. :cheers:
Nicknamed Panda since I threw some cutesy jdm stickers on it.

Didn't have trouble getting it on the road!

"Timing Belt Bitch" might've been appropriate though?

    Pretty accurate though...

    And I can't believe your FTO is a 'Panda' too!
