So.
As I was vacuuming and cleaning Emily ('02 MCS, absolutely trouble-free) this morning, I got to thinking about car names.
My ex-wife got me naming my cars many years ago, and the name Emily just came to me within a day or so of my getting her.
So I was curious how other owners came about naming their cars.
Especially Nabeshin.
Merry Christmas (Good Yontif) to everyone.
I always name my MINIs MeShKy. It sort of sounds like a German name to me HaHaHa... As some of you may already know...I have a Tattoo on my left shoulder of Rat Fink driving a black MINI Cooper S and the front plate says MeShKy.
The true reason is after three very improtant ladys in my life. Me=Melissa (Wife), Sh=Shelby (Oldest Daughter), Ky=Kyndle (Youngest Daughter)

I SOLD my 2005 MINI JCW a couple of years ago and have NEVER Stopped looking back! I wish I had never sold it!!! Now the wife drives our 09 JCW Clubman. SIGH! Come buy a MINI from me in Albuquerque so that I can afford to buy myself another one!
I never named a car before the MINI. Still didn't have one after about a month then went on a little road trip to see Breakfast at Tiffanys. I am an Audrey Hepburn fan, and after leaving the theater it just seemed like a good idea.
Mines name is Abby. I had been watching the HBO series John Adams and was just thinking about how much of a perfect woman abigail adams was. Then i got my mini and she is just as perfect. That and its kinda brititsh...Abbey Road... lol
my cars name is smurfette, for now anyway i havent thought of anything better. smurfette makes sense to me because shes blue with a white top (hat) haha.

Well, I think that Japanese names go well with cute things. So I chose Mayumi because it seemed to fit. It's one of the cuter names and it has some cool nicknames too - Mayu or Yumi.

My clubman will be called Sloopy-- as in Hang on Sloopy- I was inspired when I was watching Sloopy come across the pond and the Undine was fighting high winds and high seas......get it? Hang on Sloopy...... grin. I am originally from Ohio---go Bucks! ( this is their signature song)

I had the 2.8 litre 6 cyl.
Not a lot of pep, or much potential of it, but generally bullet-proof as far as longevity and dependability. And ABSOLUTELY the most fun car to drive in the snow I've ever driven.

Thats cool though a v6 crammed in there is nice. the s4 with the twin turbo v6 and now v8 oh man. very nice.
but anyways yes, i tell everyone that all the time, that the audi was the best snow car forsure!
well, since i'm addicted to MarioKart (well, enjoy playing any super mario game for that matter), when i got my MINI, i started thinking about how it would sound like to say to my friends, "i drive a mini cooper." then the word "cooper" stuck in my head and i realize the shell and the turtle from the game is named "koopa". thus my car's name "koopa" and also my internet name "jbkoopa". my car is small but fast, just like koopa. lol.
I'm an O.C. fan, so she's Marissa "Mini" Cooper, as in the character Marissa Cooper. I've started referring to her by name without even realizing it. I'll say, "I need to give Marissa a bath" and my friends will look at me weird and ask "Who's Marissa?".
My '04 Honda Civic was named Ruby because the color was called Radiant Ruby Pearl. Never called it by name, or referred to it as "her" like I do with Marissa.
My '83 Honda Prelude was Smurfette because she was blue.
The much loathed '96 Saturn SL wasn't named because it didn't deserve personalization.
