I never had the consideration to name my car, but if I ever committed to getting a boat I will probably name and label with a female name as I've seen others do.

My father had a VW Beetle named Jezebel. I have had an Englebert, a Wild Thing, a Blue Thunder, and now, my daughter named my current car, little mouse Matthew (no idea why, but she chose it so we keep it)

Agreed and never will. Unless, this stupid piece of &!@$# counts as a name.

I think naming a vehicle is too much of an obsession with a material item. That's like naming your pencil, Jim or something.

We haven't named our vehicle, but my husband named the GPS.  He is on the road a lot and the GPS "talks" to him quite a bit!

We tease him about "Dalene"

I don't name my vehicles either. In high school I had this ugly brown beater of a buick that my sister lovingly referred to as the poo mobile.

A name for my car, hmmmm.  Its a car not a person.  I have often wondered why people name their cars.

Naming a variety of vehicles has been done for centuries.  The historical basis for doing so varies but, most ships have female names for instance.  If people have been naming ships for millenia, why not other vehicles such as cars/trucks?

I have never given a name to any vehicles. Except for P.O.S., but I don't think that really counts here. I don't think I'll ever name any automobiles either. I don't think I even know anyone who has named theirs either.

When I was in school back in the 60's, that was the thing to do.  I had several friends who had 'named' cars but since the one I drove really belonged to my mother, I ever named it.  Once I started owning my own cars, it never seemed like something I wanted to do.  I have enough trouble trying to name pets  ;D

I never purposely named my vehicles, but over time a name kinda came and stuck.  I used to drive a Sunbird in my 20s that I affectionately called my "Funbird".  We have a suburban that we cart our large family around in that we titled "The Bus".  ...and we have a 91 marquis that is headed for the junk yard that came from my mom that we affectionately call "The Granmmamobile".

I've never named a car of mine but one of my sisters used to name her cars.  I tried naming mine but it just didn't seem right so I gave up.  lol  I'll have to ask my sister if she still names her cars or if she has gotten too grown-up for that now.

I have had friends who have named their car, but for whatever reason I have never felt the need to do that.  I don't judge those who do name their car, but it just isn't for me.

I don't do it now, but growing up my siblings and I would call our mom's car the "blue bomber" because it was a light blue buick that made noise when my mom would excelerate.

I don't usually name vehicles....but my kids and their friends named my mini van the "Momma T mobile"...lol 
If I were to name my vehicles...our Rendezvous would probably be named Randy or Renaldo or something like that..

No I don’t. I don't have a name for my car. It is strange to give it a name… cars don’t talk.  ;D

Now thats really funny  ;D  We use to call our cars by their names early on, but as we got older to got away from it. I remember the "blue goose" or "nellie"

 ;D Yes, I not only name my vehicles but I name those of family members as well lol.  My husband has a silver truck and I named it "The silver streak".  My son painted his mustang a bright green flake and I named it "The naughty leprecaun" and my marquis which was tan and my sons are painting it pale pink flake is already named "The pink princess".  So I guess that would be a yes lol.  :heart:

I don't drive but I remember when I was growing up my dad had a car named Matilda he was very fond of, later there was Betsy and I don't remember anyone after that. I think sometimes guys make friends with their cars and they become family to them so they give them names. Actually I think it's kinda cute. :) :) :)

I never gave a name to any of my cars through the years, but I did feel a close relationship with them. And one of them I still miss to this day.
