A friend referred to his '68 diesel as "Mercy".
Mine is "Grace".  (Yes, there is a theological significance.)

What's yours?

I think "phoenix" would be more appropriate seeing that it essentially
rose from the ashes so to speak !All that work
just to call her that. :-)

She got the name crusty before then.... and lets face it...that car was
crusty.

I named my '64 Rambler    "Rose",

Rambler. . .  Rose. . . Ramblin' Rose.  Get it?
What a sparkling wit I was in 1971.

The only car I named was my '81 Mercedes 200, I called it
"Erbswurst". "Erbswurst" is German for "Pea Sausage", and a Pea
Sausage is a sausage shaped bag full of ingredients for an instant
pea soup.

The car got this name after a strange accident, where it rolled down
a garage ramp and crashed against a wall, destroying the bonnet. I
replaced the bonnet with a part from a scrap yard which was pale
green...

Sorry, it was test posting only after some
significant computer hardware hard- and
software changes:
I cancelled it but you were faster with
reading than I was with cancelling...

Anyway, I have never ever named my cars.

But there were a few occasions when I
talked to them...   ;-)))
