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.

    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.

    “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 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.
