Do you give your cars names?

Question

I heard some girls do this. Do you also treat it like a pet or something? Even though I am a car person I think this is weird.

My 1973 Chevy Nova I named Jimmy. I don't know why. I didn't even know anyone named Jimmy.

But dig this. I went on a blind date once with a guy who was big in the car industry. Said he was going to be a millionaire one day. But since he wasn't my type, I didn't pay much attention to him and that was our last date. During our conversation over dinner I did mention I named my Nova Jimmy.
Many years later, I'm driving down the street and saw a small SUV. Then I got behind it, and guess what it was called? Jimmy! I often thought of that blind date years ago and wondered if he has anything to do with those SUVs being named Jimmy. Coincidinky? Too weird!

As for me my past three cars have had names & in the future hopefully as well.

AmandaYVR · Answer

No, but I call them "baby" and "my girl". I give some gentle coaxing so they don't stall, break down, etc.

Have you heard that people, globally, select female voices for their voice navigation? Males are out, on this. I find this very interesting.

Lliam · Answer

No. But I did once. My second car was given to me by my dad in about 1972. It was a 1963 Buick Le Sabre 2 dr. hard top. Midnight blue with a white top. 401 cu. in. engine with four barrel carb. Bench seats, automatic trans. It was built like a battleship and looked intimidating. It's the most powerful and dependable car I ever owned.
At some point, I christened it the Bismark. LOL

I had a 1999 Grand Marquis and a 2004 Grand Marquis, both of which I named The Marquesa. I had a 1978 VW Scirocco that I called Rocco. I have a 2001 Ford Explorer which I call Dora. My other cars didn't have specific names though I occasionally called them Bitch or something equally flattering.

I think people did more often when they were newer and more of a luxury. Nowadays although they’re not exactly cheap by any means, they’re a common necessity. People who don’t name their car (s) might name a uber expensive boat they got. lol (Albeit more likely a title than a name.)
