Naming your car (minor Star Wars connection)

[Buzz Bumble]

From the local newspaper ...

Let's hear it for ... Harrison Ford
Owners of Fords in the US like to call their cars "Harrison" after the Hollywood actor, says website webuyanycar.com.

Other favourite nicknames for cars in general are Betty, Betsy and Bess. Almost 56 per cent of those polled by the website said they gave their cars pet names. Bertie, Daisy, Bertha and Meg are popular, as are Charlie, Herbie and Bob. One respondent said he called his car God, as "it moves in mysteriuos ways".

About 60 per cent of women and 41 per cent of men said they felt emotionally attached to their car, while 25 per cent of those shed a tear when they parted company with their vehicle.

Red and blue cars were the most likely to be given a name. Grey and green vehicles pretty much remained nameless.

Despite being "red", my car does not have any name.

My car is blue and is named 'Ellie' *lol*

I've never named my cars. However, a friend once bestowed a name upon my old car: "Potato"
