I call my red RSX "Lil Miss Sassy".

My previous blue VW Bug was called "Bluby".

We still haven't named our Black TL.

I have an 02 Type S...the day I bought it, I was following my girlfriend and my car still had the front plate holder on it...she said it looked mean and tough, sort of like it could reach out and bite you, so being a big fan of mobster movies and the fact that the car is a Type S, I named my car Sammy the Shark, but I go by Sammy almost all the time. Yes, I know, I'm nuts...

My wife always names her car a man's name and my car always has a woman's name. Her last car was a white Cabriolet named "Elton" because, if she had to give that particular car a man's name, it had to be gay.

My wife calls mine "Tommy Lee", for a few reasons:

1. The "TL" has to stand for something, right?
2. I play the drums,
and last but not least,
3. I've been known to pass out when sexually aroused...my "thingie" drains all the blood from my brain! if you catch my drift...

Regards & Happy New Year!

RUBY
Have never named a car before this, never even referred to one as a he or she! But from the day we brought her home, it just seemed that she needed a name. We had the navigation voice set to female and one of my kids said her name should be Ruby.
My personalized plate is "HMS RUBY"

"Anthracite" is the name of my car. my car had to be ordered from acura so it took awhile to be delivered. in the mean time when people asked about the car and asked the color i told them anthracite metallic, like a dark metallic grey... anyway my friend started calling her anthracite... like when is anthracite coming in? and the name just stuck....

Thanks for waaay too much information there.


I was thinking about naming my car Audrey... I love the name. Problem is that Audrey is also the name of my ex-fiance who basically to me when I found out that she cheated on me right after asking my parents for their blessing.

*breathes in... breathes out*

How about Candace? Candace sounds nice...

My children named the car as they have most of our other ones. My Anthracite TL is the "Grey Ghost".
