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

I agree wholeheartedly. It gets me from point A to B and back...
I was lying in bed the other night, looking up at the stars, and thinking, "Where in the heck is my roof?"

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

Same here. It's weird.

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?
One can lead a horse to water however, if one holds the horse's head under, that horse will drown.

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

No.  The only names on my vehicle is the make and model that came with it.

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.
