Do You Name Your Cars?

I have a name for my Car.

I have a name for our Home (take note we don't call it a house).

Naming gives my car and our home a personality.

Poll reveals popular car names
19 Jan 2011 at 10:59

A poll has revealed the attachment owners have towards their cars, with many drivers even christening their vehicles.

A survey by webuyanycar.com showed 53% of drivers call their vehicles by name, with the most common ones being Betty, Betsy and Bess.

Owners may be prepared to pay good car insurance for Bertie, Daisy, Bertha and Meg who are among the popular vehicle names, the poll of 3,000 people revealed, while Ford owners call their motors Harrison and Anna.

Uncommon and unpredictable names have also been used, one driver dubbing his vehicle God because "it moves in mysterious ways": another motorist named his car after Nigerian-born football player Efan Ekoku.

While red and blue vehicles have more chance of being named, grey and green cars have a lower probability.

Emotional attachment ties 60% of women and 41% of men to their cars, and 25% admitted crying after parting from their vehicles.

First cars are the most likely to get a name, yet 17% of owners get emotionally attached to every car they own.

Despite most owners naming their vehicles, just 12% pass on the name to new owners, with only 2% continuing to call the car by the same name.

The top 10 car names are: Betty, Betsy, Bess, Bertie, Daisy, Bertha, Meg, Charlie, Herbie, and Bob.

Ako hindi nagpapangalan ng kotse. Kung ano brand at variant ng kotse yun ang name. Example honda jazz bakit ko pa babaguhin. Pag baliw na ako pangalanan ko ng mumay, chona , bongbong yung jazz.

Usually mga tao nagpapangalan sa kotse nila yung sobrang passionate na buhay na nila yung kotse. Napansin ko din sa mga sobrang passionate sa kotse eh mas pinapamper pa nila yung kotse kaysa sarili nila. Example: expensive fully syn engine oil ng engine pero pag kakain nagtitipid eh sa tabi-tabi lang kaya sa katagalan nagmukha fejodap driver

ha ha ha!!! That made me LOL!

My brother lived and breathed cars. He even made a living out of cars. He never named any of his cars though. But yeah, he spent more for his car than himself (instead of buying clothes or shoes). Pero never siya nagtipid sa pagkain.

I don't see anything wrong with spending a lot on your car and less on other things, as long as you can afford it.

Hindi ako magastos sa pagkain, I have no interest for fancy restos, and don't mind fast food (Jollibee Chickenjoy is the best). I also don't spend too much on clothes, I don't buy ridiculously expensive Calvin Klein briefs or Cole Haan shoes, maliit lang clothing allowance ko for myself.

But I did change my car's rims which cost my entire year's clothing allowance. Masama ba yun? Masaya naman ako, nakakakain naman ako ng tama, hindi naman ako mukhang yagit.
