your cars- do you name them? what and why?

I never named any of my vehicles but when I worked in the city, I used to park at one of the hotels which had valet. I was driving my Red Jeep which had a lift and 33" tires and one of the valet people would call it "Big Red" when I got there or when I was leaving. So it kind of stuck.

 

My motorcycle was - Priscilla as she was retro black and white painted tank after Elvis's wife

My mustang was - Billie Jean after the MJ song (married to Elvis's daughter)

My Mazda B3000 (Ranger) never got a real name because nothing seemed to fit. I did try old Bessie because she never let me down but... never stuck.

My taco is - Reileen because the license plate has C13 on it and I loved that show altered carbon.

 

I don’t name inanimate objects or tools. Seems silly to me.

but just an observation.. if I was going to..

I mean, if you wanted to rely on something to always do its job, always be reliable, always be dependable, always be functional before all else, and never let you down, . . . why give it a woman’s name? Hahah

 

My taco isn't named.

Our 2015 Subaru outback is named "Meg". It was the first car we owned with the lane drift, auto braking, etc., safety sensors that beep at you. Our Subaru always turns the lane drift warning system on at ignition and we change lanes without signals frequently. We got so tired of the beeps we started jokingly saying "Shut up, Meg" like Peter Griffin tells his daughter in Family Guy. We were on a family guy kick at the time.

So glad when you turn off lane drift in the Taco it stays off permanently.

 

My Tacoma is called Toymater. It was my wife's idea. I am a artist and one thing led to another.

 

My truck is a Texas built truck, so first name Alexis, last name Texas. If you know you know.

 

I call mine Taco.

 

Great name.

 

Tacoma is the name of my truck.

 

It even looks sorta' like a 'mater . . .

 

Where can I get the teef ?

 

The Yoda

 

The truck is Quicksand color so it was named Cassandra Tacoma aka Sandy Taco

 

I haven't named my truck yet because the bank owns my truck LOL. Once I finally paid it off I will. My friend said I should call it Dawn.

 

Tacoma is The Colonel after John Mosby aka Grey Ghost

My bike is Black Sunshine after the song by White Zombie

 

I do-

Sherane (2010 F150 Lariat)
Charcoal Baby (2016 2500HD LTZ Z71)
To Be Determined (2020 Tacoma Limited)

 

Mine is named "Gwendolyn". I've always thought that that was a very pretty name, so I decided to bestow it upon my iron steed.

Quick edit: I also used to have an Outback named "Archie".

 

"Debt"

 

i think if i had to rename Sandy, i'd rename her "Camel Toyota".

LOL...
