My BA Ute is "It's the Vibe"

It's vibe in colour, and I love The Castle, so it does me!

Our XF station wagon was, "The Tractor" due to its sluggish acceleration.

The VTII hasn't got a name, but I was thinking, "Clunky", in recognition of our transmission. Or maybe, "Struggles" when starting the car.

One of my friends named his 1992 Corolla hatch, "Sally", after his grandmother's dead dog. I call his car "The Granny Wagon" as it's white, stock and it's the perfect granny car.

I have a friend who has a blue 93 TR Magna. The bonnet's paint is peeling off (he got it from CAR CITY!!!!! wooo!!!) and I am thinking of calling it either, "Camry" or "Avalon"...because it looks like a piece of shit.

My first coupe was called the b-tch cause she was fine until I had a lady passenger and then anything that could go wrong would go wrong.

My current coupe is called Jezebel as she is the other woman. This one doesn't seem to mind female passengers though.
