gf calls my car "Blue Light" because of the illuminated scuff plates.
Well it is an improvement over my previous car that was called "The good looking piece of junk" (a Red Sunfire)

...or perverted .

Naming objects is for boats, IMO.

That's at least a tradition.

If I'm gonna call my IS something other than "my car," I just say "my Lexus."

I would call mine Bubbles, but that would seem strange.

I called it numerous expletives while trying to service it.... fog lights, city lights, oil... etc. Actually I was shocked today that the air filter wasn't too hard.

I don't name my vehicles. It's too personal. After I watched my bike flipping through the air like a toothpick after I managed to throw it on the ground for the second time in 6 months (and smashing all the new bodywork I'd just recently installed), I figured naming them was bad for my psyche.
