With 3 existing cars in the stable....Sly, Fern and Casper, I'm trying to economize my CM order as much as possible....so he's already been named "Cheap George." I hope it doesn't give him a complex.

I haven't received mine yet, but I already named it Chunky. I named all of my cars, except my first ride from high school.
I have a Toyota Tacoma that I named Tommy. Used to have a Honda Prelude that I called Howie. Used to have a Boxster S, which I called Peewee.
Odd thing is thing is that none of my friends has a name for their cars. They think I'm crazy for naming a car.

Most my cars have been named for their personality. When we traded Peppy in for Phoebe my wife cried. Peppy was a great car.

My MINI's name is Alyssa. Named after the flower, mountain alyssum, due to the fact that their colors are almost identical.

Here's Butters...with his namesake riding in the back.
Cute & quirky until you cross him the wrong way, then Professor Chaos takes over...the bloody evidence is in my gallery.

Mine’s named “Gromit” after the dog character from the British Wallace and Gromit series. He’s small, but surprisingly clever!

Hi Mini On - I love the name Chumley. Brings back a lot of memories. Sadly, not any of them MINIs. But good memories none the less.

When we brought our MINI home, my wife and i were looking out the front at the little guy and my wife looks at me and says "It reminds me of Pepe Le Pew". Well, now all I think of when I see my MINI is a skunk, so I figured I'd go with a German name, Das Stinktier. It has stuck pretty well, or just Stinky for short lol.

I'm glad you enjoyed them. The mess got a lot of attention. I was chased by a guy in a civic trying to take pictures while he was driving. I also had a few cops laugh as I drove by.
I'll definelty do it again if it doesn't rain on Halloween this year.

My old R53 blue mini was named Brittany....One day it just came to me and it stuck.
My Clubmans name is Larissa. I named her that because i find that name incredibly different and sexy. My mini is also different and sexy so it fits

I didn't realize how many of us name our cars! This is really cool. Thanks everyone! Keep them coming.

Bibi
Mine is named Bibi, and since he is my little baby, I call him Baby Bibi
My old lexus rx300 was named Cat Stevens because I always thought she looked like a cat from behind!
