My blue civic back in 2005 was nicknamed cobalt. “You can take cobalt to pick dad up at the airport”. Something I had picked from Gone in 60 seconds that I found cool (naming cars, not cobalt)
We have a 2012 Ford Fiesta that we call “Siesta”. That car sucks a good amount. Been meaning to get rid of it for years now.
Our peugeot is called Giovanni
My current vehicle is The Blue Meanie.
Previously, I had a Kia that I called The Kill Ya, a cavalier that I dubbed The Crasholier, and my first car I called The B-Mobile.
Huh. Naming a car, the model name of a completely different brand of car, a model which was contemporary with your car, would be very confusing to me.
You can take cobalt
“But you don’t have a cobalt.”
I do this on purpose, to annoy any friend who catches a ride with me.
Walking up to my Ford Tempo, “I thought you drive a Cadillac?!”
“That’s it’s nickname.”
The Cobalt doesn’t really sell where I live, at least I have never seen one. I had to duckduckgo it
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”.
The uterous. It’s a ute.

It must feel rejuvenating coming out of it every day
We own a VW Polo and called it Pollie. Then I got a newer Polo, company car. We called it Marc, as in Marc-O-Polo
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.
Mine is called Fabsi Shiroi Hotbox Guzifer and I tell you it’s possessed
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
I had a black Citroen C4 I called Marxine, from Karl Marx plus making it sound feminine and french lol.
We have a purple c4 cactus we named Jean Pierre as he’s French.
i once had a car i named ‘Alice’.
i had just purchased this vehicle ('80 celica sunchaser) in west vrginia, and was driving it back when white rabbit came on the radio… the song ended and i start flipping through channels and i stumble on white rabbit playing on another station!
the song ends and i start scanning again and i shit you not, i found a third white rabbit playing.
bonus info; plates i ordered and used: “LCFR”
My current car is named Moxxi, after Mad Moxxi
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.
My 2014 Mazda 2 is named Maria, my 2014 Hyundai Elantra GT is named Elaine, and my 2011 Chevrolet Cruze LTZ is named Crystal. Sadly, we need to sell Crystal, it’s like losing a family member. You name it, you own it.
If you have a chemistry education, you can sell crystal without selling crystal.
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.
