Naming a vehicle

Okay so in Stephen King did it, does any one else do it. My friend and I in Highschool named a car we used to roll around in "The Shaggin Wagon" It was an 85 Chrystler Reliant wagon. We dogged the hell out of it. IT lasted a good while then one day it finally gave out. Well the tradition kinda stuck it was bad luck or karma or whatever to ride in or own a vehilce without naming it. So does anyone here have names for their vehicles????

I have never officially named a vehicle. I am very sentimental about my rides though and sometimes refer to them with nicknames... My 83 Firebird - Bird of Prey Titanium ZX6R - Silver Bullet My old 69 Nova - "The Hulk" (it was green and had a big block 454 engine) OUr Trailblazer EXT - APC (armored personnel carrier) or "Huey" after the Vietnam era helicopter Others my family has owned get referred to by their color, Ole Blue, Little Brownie, greenie, ect.

Me and some of my friends in highschool were given a 78 datsun b210 it had no gas tank and gas came from a five gallon can placed in the passenger side floorboard. The subframe was completly rusted out and you could feel the body shifting about on the chassis through corners. We raised about 300 miles worth of hell in this car on various dirt roads before finally losing it in a road block. We had to sneak into the impund lot and steal our tools back. THis car was called "the dangerous datsun"

trock

Does dangerous datsun refer to the floorboards being rusted out and your fear of tetnous or what?

Does dangerous datsun refer to the floorboards being rusted out and your fear of tetnous or what? all of those things including the gas fumes due to the gas tank being open in the passenger compartment and 15 year old tires. Name something that might make a car dangerous this car had that going on.

i dont name things, more address them mockingly. 85 suburban: urban assault vehicle, or mobile command 90ish ford tempo: the blue car... it didnt deserve more than that. 67 Jeep Super Wagoneer: Ole Mangy some vehicles at work have names though trackmobile: the dinky shuttlewagon: cuddlewagon

Has had a nick name or a name for a vehicle. :yesnod: Well the point in my starting this thread was to gather some information, I am trying to think of a nick name or name for my new bike.

To me, it's like showing a sign of respect. You respect the machine :idk: It's just easier than saying "My 1994 Chevrolet Silverado," or "2007 Kawasaki Ninja 650R." And there are some really troublesome brand/model names out there. There's also something about humanity that needs to anthropomorphize everything we see...but let's not go there.
