Reading the thread on what no longer works on your car, someone mentioned their car’s name. I’ve had:
the Beast- a 1970 Plymouth Satellite
Scooter- 77 Celica
Bart- 91 Sunbird (a brilliant red barchetta)
What are your cars’ names?

No name for any of my cars so far.
But for my next car:
I’ll buy a 30-year old oldsmobile, with the paint stripped off so all you see is the primer. On each side, old rubber tires will be attached. On the front, painted (in reverse like an ambulance) will be its name: “Deathmobile.” The exhaust will have a special system so that the smoke comes out red.
That should get those @## SUV’s out of my way.
Current: 93 Honda Accord – The Flintstone Mobile
Prior: 95 Suburban – Big Baby
Prior: 95 ext long bed Chevy 454 – Beast the Sequel
Prior: 94 reg cab Chevy – Beast
All three of my trucks were black, so pretty, miss my ext cab, shoulda kept it it was paid for < thwaping self on head >
Thanks for asking! My car is named (ahem) Cecil, after the Great One. It’s an LX, so its middle name is Xander. (Get it?)

1999 Jeep Cherokee. I call it “Jeep”.
I’m thinking about buying a Cessna 172 Skyhawk. When I do, I’m thinking I’ll paint my girlfriend’s name on the nose. So I’ll get the plane, then see if I can find a girlfriend. 
I named my car once, immediately afterward it suffered a major breakdown from which it never fully recovered. I have tried to not even think about the name since. I’m not superstitious, but the timing was a little jarring, so I figure better safe than sorry.

Judges 14:9 - So [Samson] scraped the honey into his hands and went on, eating as he went. When he came to his father and mother, he gave some to them and they ate it; but he did not tell them that he had scraped the honey out of the body of the lion.

It changes from day to day.
Only one time did anyone in our family name a car. It was when the VW diesel Rabbits came out and we got one.
We named it “Thumper”
Unfortunately, the car took this name to heart.
Be careful about what you name a car.
I was actually the one who needed a name for the car. It’s a 91 Mercury Cougar LS, it’s black w/ gray interior, and it has a spoiler. It is nameless and I’d appreciate suggestions.
My first car was a 87 Ford Mustang and it was called the “Tubbiemobile.” My senior year in high school, I had a weird fascination with the Teletubbies. I thought they were cute, my friends started calling my car the “Tubbiemobile.” It also alternated with “Putt-putt mobile” (a nickname chosen by a friend who drove a BMW).
Turtle - green, '83 Volvo wagon
the only car i’ve ever named. old Celica, no name; same for '85 VW Golf.
My current Honda was named by the previous owner - Betsy. But I can’t bring myself to call it that. I’m not so sure it’s a female.

As I mentioned before, my husband has a 1969 Buick Skylark. (The radio does not work) The car’s name is Christine (after the Stephen King book) because the week after he got it he was riding around with some friends and one of them asked if the radio worked and before he could answer, it came on playing the oldies station. (Old car–old songs, creepy!) It hasn’t played since.

Man, I have the best car name. The story is long but worth it, so read on. I recently scrapped my ‘78 Ford E-150 panel van. It was white and bright orange. So, one day me an’ my brother decide it looks really stupid, especially where you can still see that it used to say “Princess Jeane Laundry” on the side. Hmmmm, we think what can be done? So we go buy a bunch of grey, black and silver paint, and made use of an old 18" satelite dish. Result: A great replica of the Milleium Falcon. We even did up the inside to look like a spaceship with 70’s cone chairs and lot’s of cables, wires and tubes, and gray paneling. I wish I had a pic. Anyway, this is the only vehicle I ever owned that had a name, but man it was cool. I got a lot of honks goin’ down the road, and got on the news, campin out at the line for tickets for Phantom Menace.
That was a cool van, man. The Millenium Falcon. Sigh…
Noonch.

Citroen BX19 - “Skodösen”.

“My” (i.e., my parents’, but they left me drive it sometimes) white minivan was dubbed Vanna White on some long road trip. But wait, it gets better. It’s also known as The Wheels of Fortune.
