Back in the late '80s, I drove a hand-me-down '77 Toyota Corolla that I called Popcorn Shrimp, after a sample Car Wars vehicle.
My first car of my very own was an '85 Honda Accord, that I promptly called KE3OMmobile, after my ham radio call sign.
I have yet to name my current car, an '01 Toyota Solara.
My current car, the color of minty-fresh toxic waste, is named Cowabunga, for the sheer feeling of exhiliration I got from driving an almost-new car (well, 40K miles compared to the 180K on my previous car).
My last car had no name for years. Finally I noticed how faithful and uncomplaining she was, how loyal and quiet and good, and I named her Hestia, after the Greek hearth-goddess.
My first car was a 1978 yellow rustmobile the color of bile. I named it Feces on Wheels.

My truck is a Dodge RAM 3500 4x4 Cummins Diesel. Bigest truck Dodge makes in the US. It is known as BATmobile(or just BAT for short) which stands for “Big Ass Truck”. A lady friend of mine just calls my truck “it” as in “You are going to let me drive it?” or “Did you walk or drive it?”.
Yes I talk to BAT, but only when I am alone. Not conversations, but more like, “Are you going to let that POS pass us?” etc.
My truck is male, but a guy I know considers his truck a her because he is always working on “her” rear end.
