Pro-Car names

[Thirsty]

Mine was "named" Ichabod by the nice lady at the Secretary of State (DMV) when she got curious and inquired about the personalized license plate ... she said it was kind of a hobby of hers. I kind of liked it, so it stuck ... since then, I have seen others named that too, but oh well.

I'm going to agree with the earlier comment about the car having a personality and naming itself. The older the car, the sooner it seems to reveal it's name.

My first hearse was a 75 superior. Her name was Niobe. I have no idea whether her current owner even talks to her, much less ever calls her by any name.

Now I cruise with Helen. Again, I don't know why. Her prior owner called her Gail after the owner before him. I had the tattoos removed, and waited for a name to come to mind.

For me, it happens with other vehicles, too, if they're old enough. My 85 Virago is named Chamberlain. My 2005 Baja doesn't have a name.

My '68 Pontiac Superior is Morbid, or Morbid 1 for her full name. Kind of a play on Air Force One and Ecto-1. The '62 Caddy S&S is Pandora. My eldest daughter laid claim to the '50 Cad Superior and has named her Rose. My soon to be ex-wife's '78 M-M is named Medusa and my youngest daughter named the '58 Chrysler National combo Emily, after the Corpse Bride.

I agree, though like my coach name they are not usually propper names.

Some people might say that "Traveler" isn't a real name, but I still answer to it.

My hearse is named daisy. After parking at a store I came outside and discovered a single daisy flower on my hood.
