Did you name your car in high school?
 

The other day, a high school senior told me her friends named her care "The Toaster" because it looked like a toaster oven. (2002 Honda Element).

When I was in high school, my car was named "The Blue Ghost" (1970 Blue Olds Delta 88). A friend of my brother's named it because we cruised late into the night taking home our friends.

Did you name your car in high school and what was it?

My first car was a black and white Topaz. I named it "Demented Penguin Ghost" I have no clue how or when "Demented Ghost" poped into my head, but my grandmother gave me the money for the car, and she LOVES penguins, so the car got a middle name in honor of her.

The second car I had was a 88' Celica named "Pleasure". It was a stick and oh so fun to drive.

The light blue S10 I have is named "Blue Lagoon" The F-I-L's friend was selling it, and we decided to buy it, unseen. (F-I-L's a mechanic) Hubby wore a light blue polo the day we seen it for the first time. That was weird. The color reminded me or a lake I love to take my dogs to, so I named it "Blue Lagoon"

In high school??!! I still name my cars!

1st car (2000) 1994 maroon Ford Explorer named PRINCESS. Capitals are essentials
2nd car, 2007 Kiwi Green Ford Focus- lulu.
3rd car, 2008 white Mitsubishi Pajero- Paj
Current car, 2009 Forest Green Jeep Wrangler, GI Jeep.

I've convinced the Boy to name his cars; his focus was Senior Foci, the Pajero was both of ours, and now his work car is a 2008 Ford Explorer we named The Exploder.

I still have the car that I had in high school. It's a green 1992 Volkswagen Cabriolet and her name is Zoey.

Ha I still have my HS car as well - Toyota Echo named The Golden Nugget.

My mom had a series of white cars, all named White Lightning I, II, III, IV, etc.

In High School I used Dad's spare car and had no name for it. In college I had a classic restored 1964 Impala SS Convertable, fire engine red with white leather upolstery and a white drop top. Everybody called it "the Red Baron" and the name just stuck. My brother loved the car so I gave it to him when I graduated and deployed to Germany. He still has it and keeps it in fantastic condition. While I was working on my MA in England I got a restored 1984 XJ6 4.2 Ltr Jag, Brit Racing Green with chocolate leather interior. I sent it home and still have it today. Great car, answers to "the Green Hornet". My sister bought a 2003 4 cylinder Morgan, Midnight blue with bone leather interior that did not have a name until she saw the NCIS episode where Dr. Mallard had a Morgan. Now she calls it "Ducky's Car".

Pretty unrelated, but I could never think of a name for my car, but I named my saxophones: Albert, Bernard, and Bertha.

I didnt name my high school car, but my current car, a garnet honda CRV is named Athena.

The first car that was MINE (not borrowed from family) was a red 1994 Honda Civic HB named Calvin. I had him up until about a year and a half ago when I purchase a yet-to-be-named silver Honda Fit.

i got my first car in college and i named her ava. guess what make it was? :p

My first car a was a sweet, smooth ford f-150... her name was Eleanor.... as in Eleanor Rigby. I love The Beatles.

I think I called my high school car Bert. It was a blue Honda Accord hatchback. I loved that car.

My current car, a deep red Jeep Liberty, is named Cherry. I love her too! :)

Yup! My first car was a total clunker--1992 Hyundai Excel. It wasn't very old but it'd been my sister's and she'd practically ruined it before I got it. Her name was "Glory" because the first thing I said when I got it was "Glory Hallelujah, I've got a car!!!!!!!!!"

No kidding. That really is what I said. I was 17 and SUPER excited. :o

I didn't have a car when I was in high school. But my parents commuted to work together, so my mother left her car at home... so I drove it to school during my senior year. She later gave me the car. Neither she nor I ever named it, though. (RIP)

When DH was in high school, he drove "The Old Girl", a Plymouth Caravelle that was powered by hamsters and went 0-60 in twenty minutes. I've driven it, and let's just say that a car that size should have more than 4 cylinders.

We've named our current cars, though. My Acura is nicknamed the Catcura because I'm a cat person. DH's Nissan SUV is nicknamed the ha'tak, after the Goa'uld motherships from Stargate SG-1.

I had a white Chrystler Le Baron (1994, I think) in high school, and her name was Betty. My whole family called her that.

I now have a 1997 3.28 IS BMW named Missy. Betty was epic, though!

Kinda off topic, but I didn't have a car in highschool, but the car I have now (yellow 2008 Mini convertible) has a name. Her name is "Ms. Mini".:p

I got my black 2000 Honda Civic when I was a freshman in high school and, naturally, the only name that I felt appropriate was "Blackie Chan." I usually just call it "Blackie."

I am stumped at finding a name for my silver Honda CR-V, usually referred to as the Sorority Utility Vehicle.

My first and so far only car is a pewter metallic 2005 Ford Focus. His given name is Funky Reuben. His two nicknames are Jaws (because of his color and the rear spoiler) and Harvey Dent (because he spent the first half of 2008 with a huge dent down the passenger's side, whereas the driver's side was in pristine condition).

Actually, I picked the name, because that's about how big the SUV is. (Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a pyramid to park the damn thing on?? :p )

DH sometimes refers to my car as "the death glider" - but I'm not sure if he's referring to its small size and maneuverability or my Masshole driving skills. Probably the latter . . .

didn't get my first car til i was 23, but I just called it "The Tempo" because it was a Ford Tempo. it was always referred to as "The Tem-POE!" as in "time to take a ride in the Tem-POE!"

Silly, I know. after its passing in 2008 (RIP) i mentally exclaim "Tem-POE!" when i see on the road, especially in that seafoam-teal-type blue green. You know, that color that many cars came in the late 80s/early 90s.

My 2000 new to me Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo is named Kermit. Not a lick of green on him, but that's what lilnikki named him. :)

My first car, 1996 Ford Escort LX was named Jerome after a HS classmate of mine who LOVED the color green.
