Let's talk about our vehicles...

That is great, I drive a 1995 Ford Taurus that is named "Mantis" Jon and I were going through a stage where we named everything electronic an insect name.

The car is a nice dark green so it got the name Mantis.

I've got a 2007 SAAB 9-3 Convertible. It's white with a tan top. At some point I may name it, but nothing's come to mind yet. The closest I've come is trying to come up with a custom license plate. However, 'SWEDECAR' is one character too long for Tennessee.

Name it Saab story, Thats what it going to be when it breaks down, Very expensive repairs.

Mine is a 2007 Buick Lucerne it's name is Bu_hog.

Something Aweful Always Breaks

I drive a Toyota Camry.

Yoda Cam for short.

When I'm on the trolley, I refer to it as "Slim."

When I'm on the bus I refer to it as "The Beast."

My nuvi 350 is always in my pocket. I'm just killing time, waiting for nuvifone to be released... I'll be so happy when I won't have to carry my phone, nuvi AND ipod everywhere!

Oddly enough I call it the my Subaru because my wife drives an 08 Forester...even more oddly she calls the Forester my Subaru...yes, very confusing

The Tank.... Used to have a 53 Chevy panel, it was OL Blue... The only two cars I ever named....

I recently bought a red F150 SuperCrew that has very large side trailer towing mirrors that look like big ears so we initially thought Dumbo or George Jones for a nickname. When it was parked next to our blue Mustang, it made the car look small so we ended up with Big Red and Baby Blue.

I got a small Kia Rio for commuting. I call it "The Chariot"

Toyota Corolla - now I have to find a name

Purchase custom plates with "Story" and let people try to decipher that you meant Saab "Story" .

I have no name for my car but my plates are "DRM CM TR"

The wife and I have a 2003 VW Jetta, and we call it the Vee-Dubb.

Our old car was a 1990 Acura Legend that was nicknamed P.O.S...which is way we don't have it anymore.

Drive an old black pickup...
Named it "Grand Sherpa".
(my wife's nickname is "Petit Sherpa".

Our 1997 Toyota Corolla is"The Puddlejumper", our 1995 Customized van is "The Tank"
We just bought a 2008 Ford Taurus SEL last week - haven't named it yet !

My wife and I switch between an Audi A3 and a Toyota Sienna (both 2008 models - long story....)

We call the Audi "the Audi" (makes sense, eh?) but oddly enough we call the Toyota, "the Sienna".

I have a VW Passat Diesel and my wife prefers the large vehicles, so we have a Ford Expedition. On trips we take the VW (better gas mileage). The Expedition stays at home on the weekends.

I just traded in a bright yellow mustang. I always referred to it as the "Chick Magnet". Of course I am 63 years old and the only lady I was ever able to pick up with it was my wife of almost forever.

Have you guys actually owned them or just making up stuff? Since GM bought them, there's been a few changes. They have more in common w/ current Cadillacs than their own models of the past.

We call her Avy.

My favorite is my Red 2005 S2000. I don't use the GPS in it because when I drive the S2000, I know exactly where I am going and I don't care if I get lost. It's known as "My Toy".

My daily driver is a 2001 Black Passat 240k and still looking great & going. I call it "a miracle". I never liked VW products until I bought this car from my friend. I use the Garmin 760 in this with the Bluetooth activated and a remote microphone.

My other is used for hauling stuff when needed. It's a 1995 Ford Ranger 4 banger 5 speed with no comfort features (like a/c, PW, PB or PS). It has 165k on it and I call it "My Ford POS".

My wife has the RAV4 and a Garmin 350. I call it "Her Car".

Never felt a need to name my car.
That said, it's also my third Dodge Stratus in a row. It's an 03 R/T Sedan with a six cylinder and a stick shift. I think they made that for all of like 2 years.

Pushing 75k miles, which for the Dodges means small stuff starts to break. I think I'll hang on to it for another year or two if I can. Can't really find much I'd like to replace it though. I like the 6 cylinder, 4 door sedan, with a stick.

I don't think any domestic US brands have that, and it looks like I might have to bump up to the luxury stuff (BMW, etc) to keep a decent engine with a stick. I don't want the 'economical low end stick' that some of the domestics had last time I was in the market for cars. You know, the ones where you also have to get the roll down windows

2008 toyota tundra crew cab color is snow white named the truck CASPER

I once rented an inexpensive compact from a rental company, who then "upgraded" to a PT Cruiser. After a weekend of driving that overweight, underpowered subcompact, I now call the model a POS Cruiser.

I have a 2007 Hyundai Accent hatchback. Call him Bud in honor of the late Larry "Bud" Melman. He seems to get along well with Emily, the Nuvi 260.

Nick

Got a '94 Plymouth Voayger as a service truck and i call it "the Carminuche", the wife has a '90 Toyota Celica GT that she has nicknamed "time machine"....havent the faintest idea how those came about.

Littleredcat.....red Jag...

I have an old 95 silver Ford Taurus....named it the Silver Bullet.

Not fast...but reliable so far...bought it off a grandma headed to the nursing home.

Stu

My wife named it Bob's Toy. 16 mph in town & 23 mph highway.

Is that really MILES PER HOUR or should that have read MILES PER GALLON?

Because if not she surely is a slow poke! And I would not like to drive behind her!!!!!!

Just making stuff up.... I have no hatred on the cars performance/reliability. I just like the plate (SAAB "story").

Enjoy....I am sorry if it sounded like I was hating your ride.

DRMCMTR

Harley Davidson Ultra Classic

Unless it's raining, then a Hummer H3.

Use my Nuvi in Ford CrewCab, Saturn Sky, or Honda Goldwing...

We have a 2000 Accord SE and a 1986 Civic, both stick shifts.

Yes... I've been know for my typos. That was miles/gallon.

Although I'm not a motor-head (not Motörhead) like my son, you will never need to worry about going slow behind me.

"Scoobie"

I just got an 08 Dark Candy Apple Red Mustang Convertable because it follows the lines of the original Mustangs of the 60s

I've got a 04 Chevy Colorado Crew Cab, Victory Red with a Red Cap, that I call "My Little Red Wagon". I guess because I never had a little red wagon when I was a kid.

01 GMC Sierra that I call Buddy... but that's more of an adjective then a name though, you know "You ready to go Buddy?"

95 Camaro Z28 That to others I call the Beast and to "it's face" I call Thumper. If you've ever been near one at idle you know they don't purr or hum the LT1 THUMPS!

My wife and I share a "back-up" vehicle. It is a 1990 Toyota Corolla we have called "Little Red" since the day we got her. Our Avalon is called "White" and I have yet to name my Pathfinder.

"Little Red" has 138,000 miles on her and here in the Southwest at 110 degrees if you put on the A/C it gets like a meat locker in there in about 4 minutes!

If you look up the word "economy" in the dictionary, I am sure you will see a picture of "Little Red." In fact, I think there is more chance of my wife of 35 years getting rid of me before she would ever part ways with "Little Red"!

you should have called it, 'chickS magnet' =)

Our nav is in our Honda Pilot. We have referred to the Pilot as our Family Truckster but nothing in concrete yet.

Heck we have had our little nuvi for a couple of weeks and it (he or she) still does not have a name.

Let's see what we can come up with.

Don

Mine is Dodge Caravan 1998, Just celebrated 10th years on the road
