Do You Have A Name for Your Car?

June 3rd 2009 23:23
Think about celebs with cool names, names completely in sync their personalities: Jay-Z, Kat Von D, Slash; they’re much more fitting than Jane Smith, Bob Jones or Sue Brown.

For many of us choosing a name for our car is akin to choosing a name for a baby or our pet.

Afterall - it's your automotive signature and you can’t stick a lame name on a cool car and you can't stick a cool name on a lame car or can you?

apart from 'you @#$%ing piece of %&*$', no. but my first car which was a mini minor was variously called 'the brick' and 'wombat'.

Gertie's cute - but Rex The Commodore?

I shudder to think.

Perhaps they actually meant 'wrecks'

I didn't think people did that anymore. I never really had any names for my cars but I used to think it funny when so many Europeans would refer to their cars by the maker's name - the Toyota or the Nissan Pulsar - rather than just the car.

Other than 'Mildred' I've never named a car - but know lots of people that do - must be something in the gene's.

A mate of mine calls his People Mover the Gallatica.

Stay well

MNG - Mildred is beautiful!

Rex the Commodore - I like it. Commodores are very Rex-like. We used to call the Commodore of a friend's brother 'The Commode'.

Neo the cool Astra. Jet black, tinted windows and awesome mags. Haha.

I have become odd with cars. I buy a new one every 5yrs and it is black and it's a Holden. This is my third one but first one was a Ford (ssshhhhh)

Number plate or not - I like Nev - it has a real Aussie sound to it - yep - good call.

Easy to remember, not difficult to spell and being uniform is a quality - I guess


Cheers
