    I ended up naming mine Tora. If she ever breaks down though her name will be changed to something much more profane..

    My trucks somehow end up being named. Must have something to do with having personalized plates....

    The Taco is T Rex jr.

    My last Jeep was "Sylvia" just cause she was silver, and it was the first name to come to mind when the ex wife asked what I named this particular Jeep.

    My souped up mini copper was "Lolita" just she was young and fast and a little dangerous to ride;)

    Took me a year and some change to name my taco, but I christianed her "Gracie"

    I'm one of those that believes that anything I'm gonna rode this often should have a girl's name..

    We have the Tacoma and a Ford Escape...

    ... so we named the Escape the L'l TuRD ..

    ... that way there is no confusion as to which one is 'The Truck'.

    Not normally.
    Just "The Truck" or "The Rav" or "The whatever"

    But my last truck... '95 Suburban.
    That thing had so many problems I called her Pandora.
    Just putting the key in the door was opening a HUGE box of troubles.

    ElTacoCaliente!!! (the Taco for short (not creative, I know)) Funny thing is, I chose the name for a different truck I had intended to buy (it was sunrise red) but that was sold before I got to the dealer to look at it, ended up buying this truck the same day from another dealer. (Last saturday, actually) I liked the name so I am using it for this truck!

    My previous vehicle was/is (it's for sale) Vader, an all black JKU Rubicon I bought on May the 4th, LOL! (personalized license plate: VADERJKU)

    My wife's car is a Mocha tan Yukon that I call "Tauntaun the Yukon" but, she hates the name, LOL!

    Before that was the DMAX (not the least bit creative, it was a Duramax powered Chevy Silverado) and Big Blue. (87 fullsize GMC Jimmy with tons/doubler/37s...... suffice it to say big and BUILT!)

    Before that, well, lots of different vehicles but, none that were named. (aside from factory monikers Jeep or the Grand Cherokee, Civic, Bronco, CRX, etc.) Only exception was my 1986 Grand Am- its name was the Beast! That thing wouldn't die, I never maintained it in any way and it just kept on going!!!

    Every vehicle I've named has been in a nasty accident or totaled, so my Tacoma will remain nameless. Superstitious maybe. Both of them were white vehicles
