It's funny how this topic just came up recently. I was talking to my brother a couple days ago on what I should name her. We finally agreed to Ghost. Mainly because of the white w/ blue pearl paintjob.

Well it was once named....

The batmobile... but... well my buddy had a black vette that seemed more fitting of it. My Girlfriend seems to have adapted the name " Dark Knight " to the car... which I like.

most people name their bikes too.
i have had my bike for over 2 1/2 years and a name still hasn't come to me for the bike, it will soon though. the veh has to have a personality before you name it and it has to be unique among it's kind before it she gets it's name.
i bought my biker new so it's has taken a while for her to grow into a name. i think the car will not take as long
later

Most of the time it is Mother F*cker, or sonofab*tch. Always giving me headaches. As soon as I get a good coat of paint on her I'll give her a real name.

"I'd like to name her after my wife Dotty. She's a life sucking b*tch from which there is no escape." -Armagedon

Why do we name our cars after women? Because they're always giving us problems, sucking up our money, and most of the time we can't understand them.

A touchy subject it seems... I guess IROC/TA... no wait 3rd gen, ... hell GM owners often have the love/hate relationship going on with their vehicle. I personally love my IROC, I just hate all ignorant sh*t GM did in making it. Seems the relationship is the same with most of us.

I personally haven't named my car. I usually just call her "my baby." Some friends jokingly named her Jennifer, because I've dated 5 different girls named that. Seems every time I met some hot chick it turns out that's her name. Go figure.

Hey does anybody else talk to their cars a lot. I'm always talking to mine. You know stuff like, "Let's go baby" when I'm gonna run somebody, and "Atta girl" when we outrun somebody. Maybe I'm just weird like that.
