Default Who names their car?

I know I do... It doesn't matter which one it is it winds up with a name!

I'm interested in who names their car.... and how many people name their car 'Beast' or similar!

XD - Well... The XD (girlfriend refers to it as 'the money bonfire"!)
XF - XF Type R
EA - POSEA
Galaxie - Big Black Gal
XE - El Skanky
My old 4wd - Pumpkin
New 4wd - Luxo

The current XD is 'sinister' (thats it's numberplate), but it will be going very soon, and the numberplate will be transferred over to the BA.
So it will be 'sinister MKII'

SNSTER MKII sounds good, is it a turbo. Has to be a 6spd, unless of course your a bus driver.

My wagon is called Tickford Wagon.
I am in the process of converting the car into a TS50.
The exterior: painting behing mirrors, clear indicators, and bumber strips, reomval of "INTEC OHC"
Interior: Waiting for a Fairmont, Ghia, Fairlane, or a Tickford to be written off.
Engine:Most likely a JMM Dev 5 Kit with a chip of somesorts.

Working on a website to explain everything in detail and a chronology of what is happeining.

I had a white XC which was called "The Lawnmower" due to taking out several peoples front lawns with doughey's. It was also called "White trash". God I loved that car. My first v8.

The XR gets called Big Kitty on occasion by the g/f coz its black and her cats are black.

To me its just the XR6.
