Default What is your car(s) name and why?

If this a repost sorry. But what is your car(s) name and why.

I'll start

Car: 92 SC300
Name: "Stella"
Because: She's old school and due to recent additions she got her groove back ha ha.

I have a 93 Accord SE as my DD/Beater named her Sabrina not sure why I picked that name oh well...

SUV: 1999 RX300
Name: Toro Negro (Black Bull)
Reason: It got its nickname at my track for its black color and its exhaust which reminds some of a charging and snorting bull...very appropriate to Mexico.

Minivan: 1996 Dodge Caravan SE 3.3L
Name: Money Pit
Reason: This nationalized minivan I use for work and my uncle got up in McAllen, Texas works just fine for my needs, but a busted tranny, water pump, brake pads, no freon in the ac and it still has a cracked windshield have given it the great name it has today...currently running just fine.

SC300 - platinumsc, I love the color so much I couldn't give it another name.
G35 - sporty black, it's black and sporty.
3GS - no name, we just call it the G. Let's give it one now. I'll call it g-money.
