What's your car's name, and where did it come from?
I poked around and didn't see a thread like this. So I'm sorry if it's a repost.
But like the title says, what is/are the name(s) of your car(s)? I'll start out. ALICE is the name of my 2005 Forester XT. From the game American McGee's Alice. Also it's a nickname for the carputer that's installed (A.L.I.C.E.-Automotive Language Interpretation and Computing Engine)  The newest addition, the 1992 SVX LSL project car just got named last night. "River" is the chosen name from joss whedon's FireFly/Serenity.

Descriptions of my car can be found in my signature. It's name is Road Demon and I named it that because of it's looks and the way it handles, drives, and sounds.
 My one project car is named "Crispy" due to it having an engine fire and toasting everything under the hood.

Sometimes I refer to my SVX as the 'road runner' just because of the sound the horn makes when disarming the factory alarm.

Svx names
"'Rosie's Rocket" was purchased off Ebay in April 06 for the wife as she wanted a car with AWD. She has never taken much interest in any of the sport cars I have owned over the years. Once driving it she transformed into SVX Rose, a lady I never met before even after being married to her for almost 40 years
 ! Having been bit by the Svx bug myself, we just purchased "Green Queen" which will be a limited use, showcar, garage queen. I still find myself looking for available 97's and hoping that I have not been bitten as badly as Earl by the SVX BUG  !

Our dark teal 92 LS-L was named Dante by my fiance. I thought cool like "Dante's Inferno" but she was thinking more like Dante from "Grandma's boy". The Dante character sold weed and the car is green, go figure.

My SVX is Princess, but when she needs stuff I'll call her the Attention Wh ore. The Legacy is Elle, and the Brat is Rebecca, named after my grandmother.

Funny how Firefly was already mentioned in here...
My 92 LSL is 'Serenity' after the ship in Firefly. 'Cause it breaks down all the time and is kinda cobbled together... but'll run true.

Yeah, I was thinking about that, but decided that River fit better. The car is pretty odd. Goes a bit crazy now and then, looks a bit insane on the outside at the moment, but underneath is an amazing powerhouse, and a thing of true beauty. (Which Summer Glau defiantly is IMHO) Plus I am really just a huge fan of strong woman characters. Probably why I like Joss Whedon's work.
