"Pet Name" for your car?

[SteveR]

My wife had a 96 Land Rover Discovery She named it Nora after Nora Batty of Last of the Summer Wine, a British sitcom 

Our 37 Plymouth is called, Miss Daisy

My 1990 Dodge Dakota was named Aunt Sally by my wife. another British childrens show.

the first truck i ever owned (still have) i named "George",

my 2ton truck i named "Rob" (after Dodgeb4ya 🙂)

I picked up a 1.5ton from a forum member who handle is "Jimbob" (so that's what i call it.) 

i picked up another 1.5ton from Craig's List for $1.00 so i call it "Buck"

lastly Young Ed tried to name my one ton Sprite at 2019 BTT50's weekend but, it really never took so, i just call it "the flatbed" (but, i still have the magnet you made for it Ed 😀)

 

my 94 we call "the Ram"

and the 2004 we call it "the 3500"

I call the 34 Plymouth Coupe Fannie May  because the color combo reminds me of a big box of Fannie May assorted chocolates, I considered Reese's also for the color but some one told me once cars should be named after females (maybe because of their temperament ? I don't know )

 As far as the better half here's the story, for almost 45 years she's been ZEEK. I love to tease her, my dad named his cars and he had a work beater 1953 Dodge faded blue with a huge trunk. one day when my then girlfriend now wife was walkin in front of me I called hey Zeek !! she turned around and questioned why I was calling her Zeek I told her that when she was walking away her rear end reminded me of the back end of that 53 Dodge HUGE !!! of course nothing could be farther from the truth she's 5'2 and maybe 105 soaking wet with shoes on !! but it raised her dander and knowing that it stuck !! I rarely call her by her first name Marybeth ( too long too many syllables )

Birthday cards, anniversary cards etc... are always addressed ZEEK it stuck she's used to it .

 My 56 Olds never got named just referred to as the Olds .

We had a '98 S-10 as well.  I think that's the only one I ever sort of made up a name for - Esse Diess, which is really just an 'Englishification' for S-10 in Portuguese.
