Do You Name Your Cars? - Page 2

Joyrider · 03-16-2008, 02:18 AM

Besides nicknaming one of my old clunker cars "Old Yeller" I have never truly named a car before.

Maybe someday if I fully customize a car to my liking, I may give that car a name.

You would be surprised how many people I know who do name their cars, and they look at me like i'm crazy because I don't do it myself!

I used to name my cars when I was younger. I'd name the car generally after we had some sort of adventure together. For example, I called one car Nighthawk because it always seemed to get me home no matter what condition I was in. I would find that the name helped me to bond with the car. I also came to realize that my cars had distinct personalities and like to be babied in different kind of ways. I don't drive as much any more so that practice has left me.
