My Mustangs name is "Mistress". My wife named it.

All of them get names.
Never understood why people give names to inanimate objects that can't come when they are called.
In reply to wspohn :
The animated objects that I have named don't come when I call them either.
1986 VW GTi 8v became Elsie. Which came about from me calling the little car LC.
1997 VW Jetta became know as PJ.
1991 F250 became know as Leviathan because big.
1998 Senta is called Sentra with a weird accent.
2007 Accord is just the Honda. I should call it Works, because Honda.
1995 Miata, which maybe will become M.

As I posted on the last page, people have been naming vehicles since they invented boats...
It's a very human thing to do. One might more wonder why some people don't? Lack of imagination? 
2013 FR-S is called "Cruella" because it's a white car with track rubber splotches all over it making it look like a Dalmatian
Most of my A1 chassis VWs have had names starting with:
Clyde
Bionic Clyde
Millenium Clyde
Obi-Clyde-Kenobi
Darth Clyde
RaceClyde
The 92 Safari with the SBC is Jean Clyde Damn Van
The 95 Astro is Vando Calrissian
The 13 Red Mazda 2 is called Wedge
The wife's Smart was Maxwell (license plate wasn't available so that was Agent 99)
My Alfa Spider Veloce was Donatella
The 75 Vette is Sasha
The 87 Scirocco 16v 2.0 still needs a name as does the 77 Challenge Vette.
92 2.016v Passat was Moby
02 1.8t Jetta Wagon was Moby II
Meet HPV, my 2019 STI. Named HPV because it's just another common STI that so many people have.
I had a 91 SE-R, black, named Bob. I had to.
Now it's a 91 Miata in blue that's the Smurf car, and the '19 WRX, in red: Rash.
I have never seen the point of pretending that a car is an animate object like a dog and giving them names, so I treat the day with complete indifference with maybe a bit of eye rolling. But there are even sillier practices out there, like naming your body parts....
