    Didn't name a car until the miata, but named some of my friends cars in high school.

    VW bug -the cat - It had 9 lives, we jumped it, wrecked it, abused it and it wouldn't die.

    77' Merc Cougar - The SkateTank - It died when he plowed into a parked 55' Chevy lowrider truck, I was asleep in the back seat.

    Back to the miata, my dad has named his first miata Baby, so I had to name mine when I bought it. I came up with Maddie, my grandmothers name was Madeline, and I know she's up there laughing at my dad and I playing with our miatas together.

    The Civic seems to have been named Red cuz it's a red car. Boring I know, but that's its personality. Sure does haul a lot though.

    I've only had two cars to my name(well not really to my name so much as my parents, but they were "my cars")

    The first being an '85 Caprice Classic which somehow got the name Strobl-Mobile(Strobl is my last name).

    And now my Miata which so far lacks a name, but I've only had it for about 6 months now so it hasn't quite gotten one yet.

    The Miata is named Kagami (Japanese for the word "Mirror"), as the car is a reflection of the road to my soul. On a side note in regards to that, the "reflection" made learning to drive the Miata a very pleasant experience.

    I've never given much thought to it, but it seems a few of my cars have or had names.

    '89 Hyundai Excel (hey, it was cheap!) was the Stump Mobile...and the sticker mobile for a while.
    '63 Falcon 'vert had no name
    '96 Z24 had no name but was definitely a boy (all leaks from the front)
    '01 Z24 was just the b*tch
    '91 Cavalier station wagon is Wagonstein or Sleeper, depending on the day
    '92 A has no name, as none has made itself apparent or needed as of yet.
    '90 "LE" available for purchase soon
