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 father always called my sisters car “Beulchen”, which is the german diminutive word for dent. It was a very basic Ford Fiesta. No wireless car key, no electrically controlled side mirrors but at least it had AC.
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.
My car’s plate has the letters LCP, so we call it El Capo (the mafia boss)
Never named any of my cars until we got an ID4. It is called Heidi.
My first car was named “Safely”. Regardless of the quality of my driving, I was driving Safely.
My current car is Carefully.
Wait, what happened to Safely ?
Got a little too safe - transmission started going out, so it became tough to even reach freeway speed.
I guess they were driving Safely, but not Carefully
death cab for cutie
My current car is named Lizzie, after Tin Lizzie, despite the fact that it’s in great shape. The first car I had was a rusted out ‘93 Impreza we called Tin Lizzie. So when I got my newest car and the license plate started with LZZ, I took it as a sign to bring the name back.
My cars are named after the pokemon they most closely resemble. Ferroseed and Snorlax. They each have a sticker of said pokemon.
my 05 Subaru obxt is named Knox because i had a knock/pre-ignition issue before i got it fixed up :p
I have named my computer.
“Chaser” because we live out in the country and use it to pick up our dogs who sometimes wander off and we have to go retrieve. Also, because it’s a Chevy. It’s Chevy Chase_r_.

My spouse had a suped up Challenger named Gurtrude. It was a funny reaction when people saw it for the first time. They expected a beater.
2001 Subaru Impreza 2.5 rs silver - glider 2008 Subaru WRX STI white - bar of soap or the sti 2006 Honda element silver - bento (Japanese for box) 2024 vw id.4 Black - ghost, because it was gone for a month at the dealership after we purchased it.
My first car was a 96 f-150 the previous owner named “Maurice” I didn’t change it cause it supposed to be bad luck. Then I had a 2001 Pontiac grand am I called “Jaun claude” which I was rather proud of. My current one is just “V” cause it’s a Ford Fusion Hybrid and the engine looks like it came out of cyberpunk.
