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)

    I have a white Prius named Shadowfax so if I need to go somewhere fast I can yell “run Shadowfax, show us the meaning of haste!”

    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 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

    I had a car, license plate CME1234 (fake numbers) so I called it “The Comemobile”

    little did I know that Neighborhood Tires could also see the name I gave it on the portal.

    My father always called my sisters car “Beulchen”, which is the german diminutive word for dent. It was a very basic Ford Fiesta. No wireless car key, no electrically controlled side mirrors but at least it had AC.

    My last car was a Ford escape called 7 after seven of nine from Star Trek. I was feeling less creative when we got our current car, a tan C-Max, and it’s just called Sandy.

    i once had a car i named ‘Alice’.

    i had just purchased this vehicle ('80 celica sunchaser) in west vrginia, and was driving it back when white rabbit came on the radio… the song ended and i start flipping through channels and i stumble on white rabbit playing on another station!

    the song ends and i start scanning again and i shit you not, i found a third white rabbit playing.
