Girl Name or Guy Name for Your sweetheart vehicle?

"Candy" the canoe.

They've adapted...

That is by far the easiest to read canoe I've ever seen.

I sorta like the canoe's topic.

What is your car's name? Is it a boy or girl?

My RX7 is Roxie (Duh!). The Malibu is Boo (a girl).

My truck is usually something like Frank or Stan (I still consider her to be female anyway).

Reading that gave me a eye twitch. It looks like a canoe, but I can't see what they are trying to paddle.

My G20 is named Genie...

My Canoe is called "herro prease jackwagon who cannot haz the engrish".

Grown-ass men shouldn't give names to cars.

Exactly.

The best car name that I have heard is Fred G Sanford. It was a red VW Fox

OK...I have a confession. I did refer to my 944 as the Red Dragon as an homage to Old School. Then when I got a 911, the kids dubbed it the Blue Dragon.

Well now doesnt that make me a pansy shiny happy person.

I even have a license plate for teh RX7 that says ROXY 7.

I guess I lose 1 interwebs.

I've never understood that expression. All of me is grown, not just my ass. And while I appreciate a well developed posterior, I prefer other parts way more. (After all, that's where dookie comes from.)

Back OT-
I used to think named cars were a little goofy, then I got a car with a goofy name. So now I call my Mazda2 "the Deuce", not to be confused with "the Flying Deuce", which is my neighbor's LeMons/Challenge car. And awesome.

Back off topic- The OP isn't a canoe directly, but comes from a domain FULL of canoes. I have preemptively banned him/her/it, although I have to wonder if they're a genuine car person in Farawayistan that found us through canoeing but actually wanted to stay.

the 97 900s is Luci,...loud mouth Luci. I really need to fix the exhaust

Are they actually its (canoes like this I mean). This type of post is really scary, like bots pretending to be real people.

My truck is the Mighty Dak, 323 is "Little Red". And Tom - you're funny

I don't exactly understand it, but for some strange reason I've always found it useful in certain circumstances. When I'm mocking myself, I find it sounds appropriately humorous to say "A grown-ass man shouldn't (whatever I just fouled up)". The "ass" part may be a whole new grammatical part of speech. Big-ass sandwich. Ugly-ass Camaro. Neither of these things have asses, but it somehow comes out okay...

That's really kinda a sad thought... Ever get one of those fortune cookies that says "Help! I'm trapped in a fortune cookie factory!"?

Our family used to name our cars. Maybe it was just when my sister and I were kids. Or maybe when our parents were... I was delivered home from the hospital on my birth in an old Ford pickup called The Green Turd. We had Falcon wagons named Malvena and Reba. I named my GTI "Rudy" due to its license plate (began RDU) and its being a Rabbit (seen Meatballs recently?), but my cars became tools pretty quickly, and I wasn't able to get names to stick and just sort of dropped the whole thing.

I am not one to name cars, but my latest project / track rat has been an absolutle fail. I am currently building my 3rd engine in 3000 miles

So it's name is SUE, for Series of Unfortunate Events.

I call my truck "the truck", my Porsche is "the Porsche" and my wife's car is called "your car".

My daughter's car is generally referred to as "can you please park that thing where I asked you to, so I can get the Porsche out?".

In reply to Woody:

I lol'd

The only car I've ever named was The E30 of Doom because I had 2 E30s at the time... and one was already named "the E30". The other had brought death to some deer, has tried to kill me on more than one occasion (tetanus) and wears a rattle can flat black front clip like a Sith car. I seriously could not call it the E30 of Cheer.

Waaaaiiiit.....a GRM staffer and a challenger living next to each other? We should all move to the same neigborhood. Then we can start a home owners association with good rules...nobody lives there without having a project car in the driveway...

Oh, FWIW, My Geo is "Zippy" and the datsun replica is "Rose". (I hope, when the car is done, to have a bomber_nose-art-style pin-up and the text "Tokyo Rose" on the cowl)

My 64 Spitfire doesn't have a real name, but I call her a dirty little whore a lot.

There are more available on our street. You'd fit right in!

Greg isn't just a challenger; he's a member of the GRM Alumni program.

I personally call mine you, "rusty piece of E36 M3"

I keep thinking it would be funny to buy a Ford Maverick and name it McCain.

Carola is Scout, cause she's plucky and up for anything. Wife's beetle is Lady. Had a white isuzu PU named EL Blanco from tremors 3. A friend had a brown boxy ranger named Officer Jablonski

I've always named my cars. I've had Steve the Solstice, Ted the Suburban, Kenny the Silverado, and Mr. Miyagi was my Miatas name.

Right now I'm driving a Chevy Cruze appropriately named Tom.
