Just for my own curiosity... Have you ever named your car? And are there differences in the car naming practices between folks who describe themselves as creative people and those who don't? Please boost!

@LJ@sunny.garden I did name one of my cars - my 1970 LC Torana, "Elsie". No, I am not creative 😂

@LJ@sunny.garden Current car bought to teach youngest how to drive. We agreed naming this vehicle after Death's equine conveyance in Sir Terry's books was apt, given the risks involved. We also agreed naming the white Suzuki Swift "Binky" still was a bit much, so it goes by "Horse". Not "the horse", but "Horse".

@LJ@sunny.garden I hate cars, but due to circumstances I've needed one most of my adult life. I have called every one of those SOBs names that can't be said in polite company.

@LJ@sunny.garden I always figured it was familial. My parents named their cars therefore I named my cars because I was raised that that was a thing to do.
