My car's names tend to be The, followed by a brief, often abbreviated, description of what it is by badge.
So currently, my car's name is "The RSC."

Show name is 'Gator'......cause the colour is 'Everglade'.
Generally though it's either 'the Ghia', or "You piece of......" when things aren't going right

The GT gets called Minty (Rego is Mint GT)
The XR gets called.... The XR or The Green one (doesn't work well when both cars are green). The F-100 gets called loads of names - The Tank, F-1, The Effie, Thirsty #$%@, Gutless wonder (when it had the 302) Shag'n Wag'n..... list goes on.

I call my car sinister, since I have custom plates which are an abbreviation of the same.
