My blue civic back in 2005 was nicknamed cobalt. "You can take cobalt to pick dad up at the airport". Something I had picked up from Gone in 60 seconds that I found cool (naming cars, not cobalt)

I had an old little red Toyota Yaris that I called Jennifer, because it looked like a Jennifer to me.

Now I have a dark blue Ford Focus that I call James for pretty much the same reason.

I... don't seem to name cars like you other folks do.
