I have names my car Chief or for others (ie friends and family) Chief's Car. Stating the obvious but that is what it is. Maybe I might call mine a concealed waepon when the engine is in...

our first car was a laser "henry" as in henry ford. our wagon was 'crystal'- paint was crystal mint. wifes current car a 2000 vw bettle is 'lady' as in lady bettle, and my au is 'nighthawk', coz it has hawk bodykit and is out every friday an saturday night. my mates xc is 'downshift' coz he's a huge transformers nut.

sooner or later something will pop up thats appropriate, and its not sad to name ya cars, it gives them more of an indivuality.

Some different ones I know of:
Our Z1100 - The Valiant (its old and purple)
Landcruiser - Fourbie (Duh)
AU Forte - The plastic car
My Fairmont - The Monty
My Old Camry Wagon - The Pimp wagon
My mates Suzuki Hatch - Zukeburger (I dont know why, thats just what its called)
Other mates Skyline - The line.
So there are names oout there, they dont even have to make sense, just whatever suits it.

Having just seen the film “Slither” I’m quite partial to the name “killer”. Sounds quite ominous.

If you don’t like it you could call it Moby a.k.a. the big white whale.

Or combine the two above in to Orca. That is a killer whale!

Or maybe "king" as in that ***king thing.

You could call it the Pussy Wagon (Pus-sy wagon?) and get matching keyrings for it.

My old cobalt ED fairmont was called either Monty or Barney (cos it looked purple in direct sun)

My new car (Mk1 Golf) is either Voldimor or The Baltic Beast
