My blue civic back in 2005 was nicknamed cobalt. “You can take cobalt to pick dad up at the airport”. Something I had picked up from Gone in 60 seconds that I found cool (naming cars, not cobalt)

    My car is brown.

    The first time I brought it home without telling my wife the color, she was unimpressed and said that it was “shart colored”.

    We immediately named it “El Sharto”, and 5 years later the name has stuck

    My last car was named Alice after the “Alice in Chains” mix cd that was left in the cd changer when I bought it.

    My current car isn’t named, because I think it might be cursed and I don’t want to give any more power to it.

    My first car was named “Safely”. Regardless of the quality of my driving, I was driving Safely.

    My current car is Carefully.

    i once had a car i named ‘Alice’.

    i had just purchased this vehicle ('80 celica sunchaser) in west vrginia, and was driving it back when white rabbit came on the radio… the song ended and i start flipping through channels and i stumble on white rabbit playing on another station!

    the song ends and i start scanning again and i shit you not, i found a third white rabbit playing.

    bonus info; plates i ordered and used: “LCFR”

    First car was a pre-owned white '91 Ford Escort GT that I named Gypsy Jo. She was my traveling companion and served me well until some uninsured bitch rear-ended me.

    Second car was Moonshadow, a brand-new blue '99 Honda Civic Si. He saw me through a bad breakup and we had many adventures together. I sold him to a car enthusiast in 2016 for $6500.

    Current car is a pre-owned black 2011 Subaru Impreza Outback named Ira. He saw me safely on a long 14-hour drive when I recently moved.

    I bought a Tesla Model 3 back when they were new and I like Halo, so I named it “Silent Cartographer” for both being quiet and going places. It’s wordy AND nerdy, so I don’t really refer to it by its name.

    I have a white Prius named Shadowfax so if I need to go somewhere fast I can yell “run Shadowfax, show us the meaning of haste!”
