Does Your Car Have A Name?

I've named mine 'Akoya' - after a superior quality of pearl that comes from Japan.

There aren't pearls from Marysville, Ohio?

No, but my son still calls it "Daddy's new black car"... even though it's almost a year old.

I didn't name the car or the Navi and HFL voices since I have enough trouble remembering people's names. Besides, my wife might misunderstand and react badly if I were to say, "I took [Jane, Christine, Darryl- insert name here] out for a ride last night..."

All my other cars had names but my TL doesn't.
  • 68 Nova named Ted. Ted Kennedy could never decide if he was gonna run for office back then. This car couldn't decide from day-to-day if it was gonna run.
  • 79 Saab 900 TL named "Whitey". It was white
  • 83 900T named "Red Bird" It was red
  • 95 900s named "Fish" as in Swedish Fish It was red again. Like the Swedish candy.

Everyone else calls it "My Baby" but I don't think that's its real name.

What should I call it ?
Oh crap...now it has an identity crisis. I can see it glaring at me right now like some unnamed bastard son. Help !

However I named the hamster that provides motive power for the rental Hyundai I'm driving Jerry.

I call it "The Ack."

my motorcycle is named Veronica

I call it the Ack, because I feel it gives it more of a .....manly presence. Despite that the car IS a female. My last car was a Jeep Cherokee, and saying "the Jeep" was just a manly thing to say. Saying "the Acura" seems ...... a little feminine to me. So I decided to call it, the Ack.

I like it.

Not sure about a name, but i defined which sex it MUST be. When it comes to pump it..!...it must a bitch! But otherwise i love her, so she's my baby!

The difference between a girl and a car is Girls could always harm you, cheat on you, use you and its always a hassle! Cars don't ask that much, would never dissapoint you on purpose, always understanding(talking about that Right Pedal we all like so baaad! )...the list continues...heh Thats why i spend most of my money on the car vs. girls, untill i get married, i guess.

Peace

Here's a look:

Tina Louise

As an old Gilligan's Island fan ... I was completely in love with Tina Louise back then. She was the actress who played Ginger, who was also an actress. Now she's old, and my new Tina Louise is my current love!
