Default Does anyone else name their cars?

I used to name my cars before I got remarried ( wife thought it was stupid).
I had 1 1964 Chevy Nova called "Betsy" ( my favorite name) and a '70's Dodge called "Death Wish". The last named car was" BB" because when I bought it used it had a bumper sticker proclaiming that the driver was "Beyond Bitch". I kept the bumper sticker because the woman I bought it from was my ex-wife.

By extension does anyone name their golf cart? If so what name.

My 1997 corolla that I still have is named Lola the Corolla and has 265,000 miles on it. When merging onto I-75 I can either accelerate or have the air conditioner on, but not both.

Default Rusty and Rags

When I was a teenager my car was named Rusty...When my first wife left and I was broke again my cars name was Rags. I really hope I will not be forced to name any more cars but thank God life is not done with me yet.

I had a 1976 yellow and white hardtop OLDS named Daisy...a 1985 white and dark maroon Pontia hard top called Precious. My daughter and her children always name their cars? Kinda become a family tradition

Our GPS is named "Miss Smarty Pants" because she is.

I've had a Sally, a Babycakes, a POS and My Toy. Strangely, I never really named my favorite car of all time -- my Yenko Camaro was just The Yenko.

My golf carts are just carts, no name.

My GPS is Mr. Nag or the Nag.

First car was a 1949 Plymouth Deluxe named the Hindenberg. Over the years, I have named every car. Currently have a black Volvo named Onyx. Cart is a 2003 36 volt named Miss Emma. Poor Miss Emma is probably the slowest cart in TV when going uphill and therefore deserves the respect of the title Miss!
