I went to South Bay Mini to get some work done on my car. I pulled up into the service area, and this earnest young woman bustled over, "Hi, welcome to South Bay Mini... What's your car's name?"
"Uhhh... It doesn't have one", I replied.
"Oh... we have these name tags.", She showed me an oversized magnetized version of the standard "My name is _______" badge, "Most Mini owners name their cars."
"well, I haven't."
"That's cool. Maybe When you come in next time.", with not a trace of irony in her voice.

I think I stumbled on a cult.

They do an excellent work, though.

Here is what you should name your car (and insist the put the whole name on the badge):

Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

My first wife named her car. I divorced her.

I leave it to others to posit a causal relationship.

OK, I really need to put away the oriental wasabi snack mix.

The first car I named was my Honda, dubbed Babette.

The big ol Chrysler New Yorker I first drove in VA was named Reggie, for no good reason I can remember because the previous owner had named it so. The name stuck.

Other than that, all my cars have been no-named.

I think I named my Volvo Gudren, but I never call it anything other than "the Volvo".

I've never named a car.

Err, I don't have to marry Alex do I?
