October 2nd is 'National Name Your Car Day'. There is no real
origin or reason why October 2nd was chosen, but it's the perfect day to give
your favorite car a name if it doesn't already have one. We spend a lot
of time in our cars, and caring for them, so they deserve a name.
Just remember, cars have feelings – so don't give your 'ride' an embarrassing
name!
Guys with 'muscle cars' or sports cars should go with strong names that
reflect the car and the owner. “Chick” cars need sweet names.
Luxury cars probably need a formal or regal-sounding name.

Our Cars

We have had a lot of different cars over the years, but our favorite were the
Volkswagen Beetles. We had a succession of Bugs, one after another,
ranging from Bugs to Campers to Vans. The last ones we had included a
Super-Beetle (the blue one in the picture) and our son had the Orange
one. The Orange VW was the only car with a real name. We called it
~ appropriately ~ 'The Pumpkin'.
Do you have a name for your car(s)? Come tell me what kind of car and
what you call it.
Happy 'National Name-Your-Car Day'
