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)

    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

    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 first car was a green buick lasabre that I got from a relative. It was held together by duct tape and redneck engineering, and wasn’t even supposed to make it through high school. As a condition for receiving the car, I had to continue calling it the green hornet. Ever since, my cars have been named after a famous movie vehicle. My current car is a blue civic, so naturally I had to name it the bluesmobile

      Haha, I was reading through these and realized we both named our catch a rides after a borderlands theme. Mine is Hyperion, or hype for short.

    I bought a Tesla Model 3 back when they were new and I like Halo, so I named it “Silent Cartographer” for both being quiet and going places. It’s wordy AND nerdy, so I don’t really refer to it by its name.

    My first car was named “Safely”. Regardless of the quality of my driving, I was driving Safely.

    My current car is Carefully.

        Got a little too safe - transmission started going out, so it became tough to even reach freeway speed.

    we named our first electric car “White Fire” as an hommage to the launch roller coaster “Blue Fire” in the theme park Europa Park (Germany) near where we live.

    In January we gave back the white car to the leasing company and got a gray one, which is now named “Greyfire”.
