Naming Your Car and other such Nonsense

My car's name is "Poopers."  What's yours?

Back in February of 2000, I took a trip to Las Vegas with my roommates Katie and Wendy.  We were cruising down the strip, probably jamming out to Bon Jovi, and happened upon a luxury car with the license plate, "Poopers."  We all thought this was entirely too hilarious and my car has since been known by aforementioned name.  I wonder if Wendy and Katie even remember?  I still haven't figured out if "Poopers" is a girl or a boy...

How did your car get it's name?  Male or female?  Do you think naming cars is nonsense?  I do, but gave into peer pressure...

My family has always named our cars, so I've never thought this practice weird. Mine is the Ruby Red Pamplemousse. My mom said it could only be called "Ruby" because of the color, but it made me think of the grapefruit juice and "pamplemousse" is "grapefruit" in French... so there you go!

Naming a car can be pretty fun. It kinda gives them a personality, and most of the time the name sticks to the vehicle.
