I was wondering how many on the board named their cars?

I don't always but do so with cars and bikes that have character.

Meet Oreo.

Very nice car!  I think Oreo is appropriate.  I know someone that had a 2 tone light green and dark green 55? Ford and they called it the "cucumber".  I don't name my cars unless they #$% on me.  Welcome to the site.   -Bob

I have 4 1956 Fords and none of them have names except when something goes wrong. 45 years ago I called my 56 Customline the blue warbird. The guys with the T-Birds babied their cars while I was out there showing tail lights to 283s and 327s. 

The Warbird retires and becomes a grocery getter.

When I was a teenager, the fad was to name cars, have the name lettered on it.  I had a black/white '56 Victoria.  A friend named it "The Penguin", and lettered that name on it for me.  Dad drove it to work one day, boy did his co-workers rib him about the car.  They liked the duals on it though.  My present named car is my drag car, "Hoosier Hurricane".

I have a '78 F100 trash truck that is dark green and mostly rust.  I call it "gangreen".  I polish it with WD40.

I have always called my car Pop's 56 since I inherited it from my dad, but my wife refers to her as Black Vicky.  Imagine the surprise when she told her mother that I was out with Black Vicky again!!

I've called alot of my cars *@!*&^$%?

I call mine "the truck." It took months to come up with that one.

It's very easy remember.

I'll go get "the truck."

Let's take "the truck."

Oreo is right on!  I just call my cars what the factory called them but it is like a name, I don't put "the" in front of it, when I refer to my F-100 I say "Red and White truck"  my MG is simply "MG" and so on  but my wife's  Triumph we call "Weird Herald".
