Does your car have a name?

[Qwerty321]

Before I get hated on. A friend of mine decided my car needed a name and so she decided my car (Silver BA Fairlane) looked like a "Susan"... and it stuck! So my mighty ford is now a Susan in the eyes of all my friends

So I thought I'd see if any of your cars have been named over the years. Come on, surely some of you have taken guilty pleasure in naming your car

[98TLS]

Not me though have to say the car i own presently has been called a few things by the Mrs in the last few days...

You've held into the same car for 30 years! I have so much respect for you right now .

My wife calls my XR6T .... "Miss T" ... For the other love in my life

I prefer "TrueBlue" ... For the last of the great Aussie cars.

My vermillion fire ZD is the Red Zeppelin...

My XD Falcon is called Miss Piggy due to the custom watermelon pink colour, had since new 35 years, and I recently sold Kermit - BA Falcon XR8 in Citric Acid and now have Goldilocks - FGX XR8 in Victory Gold.

Mine is named after it's plates. Sinister.

Its usually only women that name their cars. A lot of guys call theirs POS or that #@*^ thing ... depending on how its behaving.

My little Froggy- from the colour plus a scene from Blazing Saddles

[castellan]

I had a XC p van in the 80's it was called la Bumba
People still talk about it to me.
A mate drove over it in his old mans D4.

[marty351]

Back in '83, family bought Mitsi scorpion. Number plates were ANN xxx. Until last year. dear old Annie served with utmost distinction having never been unreliable in her 35 years of service. She always has a place in my heart.
Then before her, there was Katie, Renault 16, reg ktc 739. Also Cressie, Toyota cressida.
My old 82 XE was known as sponge Bob. It was yellow.
If you love your cars, they will always have names no matter how good or bad they are.
Mechanical pets for a better term.

I’ve never been inventive enough to name my cars but when I was a youngster my old man had a dark green Morris he called Grasshopper.

[supershifty]

Every ute I've owned was called "Tilly" - an Aussie bastardisation of "utility", and short for "Matilda", very befitting for an Aussie invention.

Never really named any other cars or bikes I've owned, as mentioned in the previous posts - I've called them some very nasty names at times.

Cheers!

[XG_Falcon]

ex-gf named my previous 2000 AU "The Millennium Falcon"

[mtbkym01]

My Mrs has named the FG-X XR8 the "Holiday", coz she figures we won't be going on one for a while

[Legit290]

My XT is called Robert Redford

[new2ford]

We call ours the Red Car, the White Car and the Blue Car. As in "which car are we going in today dear...?" I figured it's the easiest way to answer that question

I used to own an EL wagon we called Pete, the origins of his name are in quite poor taste really. He was named after Peter Falconio (apologies if that offends anyone), we have a warped sense of humor in my family. My mum currently drives a Hyundai Sonata she calls Frank, as in Frank Sinatra/Sonata it's a rhyming slang thing. Myself I own a Monaro my wife calls Marilyn, as in Marilyn Monroe, I'm ok with that.

My HQ Holden has many names. Very few pass the auto sensor on here...

[josh1990]

My old xf ute was called 'Hoover', because it sucked up the money. The missus calls her corolla 'Connie' cause its a conquest model. She also called my old subie 'Ruby' due to its colour scheme. The BA is yet to find a fitting name.

Exactly. A name gives a car some character and makes the owning experience a whole lot more fun.

[V8 Ghia Mike]

My Ego G6ET is called Darth. My wife's lime green new Mirage is....Yoda.

[minheim]

Last few cars have not had names. However I had a green EF I called Henry and he was succeeded by a regency AU called Edsel I purchased new. I miss Edsel but I still get to see him as I sold him to my sister-in-law; however he is nowhere near as pampered or cared for as when I owned him.

[FairmontGS]

"Old GT" (XB GT) and "New GT" (335) for obvious reasons..

[snopony]

hmmm... I have owned Camelot (xd with a big cam), Kermie for a dark green car, Spotty for a white car that was bought cheaply due to black spotty fallout on the paintwork at the factory, and my current xb is Jolene (long story) and other family cars have been The Yella Terra, (bright yellow) Goldilocks (gold xd) and Miss Sunshiny (another yellow...) The mazda Tribute is just called The Tragic. Another car is called Mickey Mouse. Even had a Suzie Maroony at one stage.
