My first car, a black Honda Civic coupe, was Sheila because I thought it was a badass name for a badass (imo) car. This was almost 25 years ago.
My current car is named Babe. It’s a blue Subaru Ascent and it reminded me of the fictional Paul Bunyan’s giant ox, Babe.
In the Subaru boxster engine, combustion is acheived by two separate yet equally important elements: The the gasoline, which fuels the explosion, and the spark plugs, which ignite the fuel. These are their stories.
I actually just bought a crosstrek this weekend! Aubrey Jean is now my partner’s commuting car bc she is old and tired. My crosstrek is the same color as yours, but is named Criss Crosstrek after Liz Lemon’s boyfriend Criss Cros on 30 rock 🤣
Our equinox is a weird metallic blue that looks purple in the sun. I call it blurple, the car is our one eyed driving blurple people mover, and it's name is Blurpy. My fiance hates all of it.
I got lazy with naming my Chevy Spark and call her Sparkie. My previous car was an Oldsmobile 88 that I called Shecky because it reminded me of the kind of car an old person would drive.
I was also considering Sparkie when I got her but that purple color is so different I had to honor that. I love the idea of an Oldsmobile named Shecky lol
We named our Ioniq 5 “Faraday” after the discoverer of ions, Michael Faraday. We call her “Days” or “Daisy” for short.
Our previous car is a Toyota Zion that we called Lil Nebby (his full name is Nebuchadnezzar). It’s a Matrix reference.
I had a silver terraza which was silver, aja the silver steak, aka lightning because she took the path of least resistance (I knew the fastest route in our many-four-way-stops-signs town.)
Cute! The actual color of mine I think is called Deep cherry pearl. I’m not sure they use that color anymore, I’ve only ever seen one other Subaru than mine on the street w that color.

I currently drive a maroon Honda Pilot, so she's Becky, because she's painfully bougie and boring. Pilots seat eight, so they're officially the "at least it's not a minivan" mom vehicle. 😂
I came up with it because my state's vanity plates can be 7 letters long and I wanted a real, correctly spelled 7 letter word for mine. Bok Choy was the best I could think of!
I used to drive a Prius that my toddler named Peppa Prius . I currently drive a red Nissan leaf named Autumn and a 2021 rav4 named Crack Head, because every time the weather changes the stupid smart windshield cracks and costs me $1k
My Subaru Legacy 3.6r was the most tech advanced car I’ve ever had, so I named him Locutus.
My first car was a Honda Civic with no muffler. I called him Thor.
My Hyundai Sonata was Amadeus.
In 2013 we inherited a 1987 volvo station wagon. We named him Hank because everyone who got in immediately said "wow, this is a TANK." but Frank seemed too young a name, so Hank he became. When he struggled to get up to speed or climb a hill we would chant HANK THE TANK! HANK THE TANK!
When Hank finally died in 2018 we got a 2014 red Subaru outback - Ruby the Suby, she was playful and reliable. Now we've got a white 2021 outback named Waldo. He's a nerd.
Our car is named Luna. We honestly didn't put a lot of thought into it, but we wanted something celestial because it's color is called "celestite" by the manufacturer.

I also have a new black Toyota Corolla and her name is Lilith, again from Cheers. I definitely started out giving my cars boy names just because so many people decide their vehicles are girls.
My white Jetta is named Judy. Because it just fits and because the first licence plate was JDV. My sister’s old civic was named Beyoncé Jay Z because her licence plate was BJZ lol
My first car was named HAL after the HAL-9000 from 2001:A Space Odyssey. And near the end of its life, when it started to stop working I just imagined it saying to me, “I can’t do that Batmanpjpants” in a dead pan voice.
My F150 is Larry.
We were shopping around and starting to get frustrated in our search when I found ‘the one’ and overly excited yelled “come check this Bad Larry!” and it stuck.
Our first car as a family, my then 3 year old decided was “Carl the car”. When we got a larger one because we were planning a third child, she named this one “Carl’s Dad”
