My Blue Ford Focus is called Bluki. The name came from a friend of mine.

Close friend had just gotten out of the hospital and was still being influenced by the Morphine. I went to pick him up and take him home... and when he saw my car, he went, "OMIGOD! It's BLUKI!!!" and hugged the car.

Since then, her name is Bluki.

I used to have a Trailblazer (Sold it to help my mom get a new vehicle). It was "The Blob".

My Scooter is called "The Midgetmobile."

I have a Jeep Liberty. Her name is Gypsy Blue. My previous car, a pretty little red BMW that would not have been happy in Wyoming was called Miss Scarlett. I've always named my cars. It gives them personality.

I just got back from Europe. We rented a little blue Nissan over there for six weeks. We named her Bluedicca because she was a little blue warrior car.

I call my '06 white roof/metallic black body MINI Cooper "Guinness", because he resembles a perfectly poured pint.

1989 4 wheel drive 3/4 ton Suburban and we call it "Bub". Which is short for Big Ugly Bastard.

Might be ugly but low geared and will tow anything I care to take down the road. My 5 year old son calls it "Da Beasty."

My big black almost-windowless 350 Ford Econoline van I called Black Beast.
My Toyota Cressida was Cressie and wrapped me in luxury and lasted almost forever.
Now my smart, pert Toyota Corolla with RMY in the license plate instantly made me think of Remy champagne (it's the best!) so my Corolla is Remy, Miss Remy, or Remlin.

The manufacturer's name for the color of my GMC pickup is Champagne, but that is a little too precious. So he goes by Champ.
