Yeah, it just points out that every car has a unique \"personality\" and helps build a bond with it

Naming your car

I know it's fairly common for cultish types like us to name their cars and motorcycles.

My previous "fast" cars tended to earn obscene names due to all the problems I had with them, things like "sh*theap" and "the turd"... well, I'm gonna come up with a GOOD nickname for my new white EVO, I don't want to start off our relationship on a bad foot!!

So the question is (for those of you that do this) what did you "name" your EVO and your other cars?

i still need to name my oz. a funny name that just popped into my head today is "skidmark". i've been calling her "scratch", because she has lots of em, and none were my fault. the last name she also has is "the d*nasty take 3", because my first car's name was "the d*nasty".

cars should always be named, because it usually embodies a deeper attachment by the owner to their car, and hopefully in return signifies that their car will recieve better care and attention than one without a name.

Hmm, funny enough, since the first day of owning my Evo, my best friend started sorta jokingly calling it (her) Eve, and somehow the name has stuck. Very cliche, I know; Eve the Evo .
