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 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.
If you have a chemistry education, you can sell crystal without selling crystal.
Our peugeot is called Giovanni
I feel like it should be “Jean”, non? If it was a Fiat or an Alfa Romeo, Giovanni would be a great fit. Maybe you have your own context or reasoning though ☺️.
My current car is named Moxxi, after Mad Moxxi
Haha, I was reading through these and realized we both named our catch a rides after a borderlands theme. Mine is Hyperion, or hype for short.
I bought a Tesla Model 3 back when they were new and I like Halo, so I named it “Silent Cartographer” for both being quiet and going places. It’s wordy AND nerdy, so I don’t really refer to it by its name.
Huh. Naming a car, the model name of a completely different brand of car, a model which was contemporary with your car, would be very confusing to me.
You can take cobalt
“But you don’t have a cobalt.”
The Cobalt doesn’t really sell where I live, at least I have never seen one. I had to duckduckgo it
I do this on purpose, to annoy any friend who catches a ride with me.
Walking up to my Ford Tempo, “I thought you drive a Cadillac?!”
“That’s a nickname.”
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.
I have a white Prius named Shadowfax so if I need to go somewhere fast I can yell “run Shadowfax, show us the meaning of haste!”
My car is brown.
The first time I brought it home without telling my wife the color, she was unimpressed and said that it was “shart colored”.
We immediately named it “El Sharto”, and 5 years later the name has stuck
The uterous. It’s a ute.
mother trucker
It must feel rejuvenating coming out of it every day
I had an Impala that I named Vlad, so it was “Vlad the Impala”.
I have a bright orange Subaru Crosstrek named Poppy.
Same car! I covered her with stickers and vinyls. Her name is Lydia the Tattooed Subie.
Colorado?
Nope. East coast.
lol fair. My Subaru and I just migrated from Colorado to the east coast. Your description made me miss home.
We own a VW Polo and called it Pollie. Then I got a newer Polo, company car. We called it Marc, as in Marc-O-Polo
had a 2014 Chevy Cruze named Terry
