Oh, definitely. There was the Mousemobile, my '81 Chevette that didn't have horsepower so much as mousepower; Claudia, the Renault Alliance that resented not growing up to be an Oldsmobile (here's a tip, don't name your cars after crazy vampires, they live up to it just like cats), Inchcape, who WAS an Oldsmobile (Delta 88), Iggy the silver Volvo wagon, Candy-O the red Cavalier convertible, Iggy Blue the second Volvo wagon, also known as the Tank-brick, and now Gossamer, who is another little red Chevy hatchback just like my very first car ever. Yes, named after the hairy red sneaker monster from Looney Tunes. I have a Gossamer fob on my key chain and a little stuffie Gossamer hanging from the rearview mirror. Isn't it great that Six Flags has Looney Tunes theming?

I call our minivan the SueMobile. Inhonor of my wife, of course.

I used to, but somewhere along the line I got out of the habit. Now we just give our cars descriptors, and the closest any of them have to an actual name is "the BHV" which stands for Big Honkin' Van.

My blue 2-door '92 Cavalier is named Reno. I love old school Cavaliers. So classy. ^_^
