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.

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”

We own a VW Polo and called it Pollie. Then I got a newer Polo, company car. We called it Marc, as in Marc-O-Polo
