We have a big family and have named ours:
- Beast = 2004 Ford Excursion
- Burgundy = 2011 Honda Odyssey (dark red)
- Bus = 2004 Ford Econoline E350
It never gets old yelling down the hall "to the beast!" :D

The first car I had with a name was a 93 LeSabre that all my friends called "The Beast"!
death cab for cutie
My cars are named after the pokemon they most closely resemble. Ferroseed and Snorlax. They each have a sticker of said pokemon.
My last car was a Ford escape called 7 after seven of nine from Star Trek. I was feeling less creative when we got our current car, a tan C-Max, and it's just called Sandy.
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.
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.
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.
I named my motorcycle. His name is Bubba, and he's a power bottom.
my 05 Subaru obxt is named Knox because i had a knock/pre-ignition issue before i got it fixed up :p
I inherited a brown Daiwoo Matiz and called it The Brown Streak.
cobalt is a chevy
My white-and-chartreuse vintage bicycle is "Americano". Like the cocktail, not the coffee.
S. S. Niggress (still going strong)
"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_.

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.
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.
We have a Hyundai Sonata hybrid with Blue Drive so she is called βBlue.β
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.
I named my 2007 Audi S4 Brunnhilde. She is my beautiful Valkyrie, though I rarely see her nowadays.
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.
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 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.
baby car
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.
Vera. Technically given by a coworker.
She's a WRX with lots of parts from Cobb.
Vera was Janes favorite after all.
I had a 2002 Ford ranger that I named Strider.
Never named any of my cars until we got an ID4. It is called Heidi.
I named my Mustang Sally.
I find naming your car to be so cringe. You wouldn't name your TV or your washing machine. . .
