Can I see a nude Tayne?
Had a bright blue Twingo, called it the smurfette. Now have a slightly more boring black Dacia, name of Lady Blackbird.
Little red hatchback: Elmo Blue SUV with a big, ugly nose: Gonzo
My wife names hers Otto after Otto Hightower from Fire & Blood because she has a Dodge Durango Citadel.
I like it because it sounds similar to "auto"
My white-and-chartreuse vintage bicycle is "Americano". Like the cocktail, not the coffee.

I had a car, license plate CME1234 (fake numbers) so I called it "The Comemobile"
little did I know that Neighborhood Tires could also see the name I gave it on the portal.
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.
We own a Rose Gold Fiat 500 electric, aptly named Lady Penelope.
Curious to see if anyone will spot the correct reference:)
Hyperion, Hype for short.
My current car is named Lizzie, after Tin Lizzie, despite the fact that itβs in great shape. The first car I had was a rusted out β93 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 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.
We have a Hyundai Sonata hybrid with Blue Drive so she is called βBlue.β
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.
I named my motorcycle. His name is Bubba, and he's a power bottom.
I have named some of the cars I have owned.
1970 Chevy Impala: Liberty. I purchased it from a guy that lived in Liberty, KY.
1997 Nissan 200SX SE-R: Dot. It was one of ~700 200SX's made that year that was the Pacific Blue color and it reminded me of Carl Sagan's "The Pale Blue Dot" documentary.
2003 Acura TL: Sally. No specific reason, other than it just fit the personality of the car.
2014 Camry (current car): Pearl. It's painted in Toyota's Cosmic Mica Gray and it glitters in the sunlight, vaguely reminiscent of a pearl.
Just for reference, I'm 54 and have had a license since 1986. Liberty was my first car. There are a few cars not mentioned above, because I just never named them. The 200SX was the second SE-R I owned. The first was a 92 Sentra SE-R, which I liked a lot more than the 200SX, it just never got a name.
I named my red xtrail "Big Red" after the feminist, my first car was called Betty, named after Master Betty from Kung Pow.
I named my 2007 Audi S4 Brunnhilde. She is my beautiful Valkyrie, though I rarely see her nowadays.
I normally name my cars their Model but, like, I won't say "The" prior to it. Neon was Neon. Aveo was Aveo. So, it's still a name but more a name in the Roach sense.
I inherited a brown Daiwoo Matiz and called it The Brown Streak.
my 05 Subaru obxt is named Knox because i had a knock/pre-ignition issue before i got it fixed up :p
cobalt is a chevy
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.
Never named any of my cars until we got an ID4. It is called Heidi.
I named my Mustang Sally.
I had a 2002 Ford ranger that I named Strider.
Vera. Technically given by a coworker.
She's a WRX with lots of parts from Cobb.
Vera was Janes favorite after all.
I find naming your car to be so cringe. You wouldn't name your TV or your washing machine. . .
