Default Does your car have a name?

So we've got a lot of car people here ... how many of you name your cars?

My wife's Jetta is named Midnight (guess what color it is). My S2000 is Shadow. My previous cars all had names, though I didn't always use them regularly.

No. My S2000 is just "My S" or "My Little S". My 4Runner is "The 4". And my wife's Acura is "The Ack". Not very creative.

I refer to our S as "My Baby". Barbara likes to refer to it as "Pepe"

We've given names to many of our cars in the past (VW cab=Baby Buggy, S90= Arthur Audi, Civic Wagon= Cissy Civic), but not the S....nor Kathy's much-hated Passat (unless 'Lemon" counts). Maybe this naming thing is something that declines as we get older....

After all, we don't have names for our body parts any more either.... How about you

No name for my car either. But I do often say "This Jet is about to take off", as mine is GPW !

My wife named our S2000.

She named it Dick because she says I'm always out in the garage playing with it.

^ HAHA...I like your wife's sense of humor. I'm like Matt - I just call mine "my baby".
