My dad and I have named a couple of our cars, not many of them though...
'05 Mercedes E320 CDI - "The Bus" because its a diesel and its the car we use mainly to go to California and back.
'06 Dodge Ram 2500 CTD - "The Rig" also because its diesel and the bus was taken.
'06 Jeep Liberty Diesel - "The Short Bus" because the rig and the bus were already taken and it is WAY smaller than the Ram 2500.
'03 Nissan 350Z Twin Turbo Track Car - "Double-Down" because thats the name Modified Magazine gave it when they featured it. Probably because I live in Vegas.
The rest of the cars don't have names, we just call them by their model...
'04 Infiniti G35 - "The G"
'05 Corvette - "The Vette"
'05 Benz SL500 - "The SL"
'06 Audi A4 - "The Audi"
'92 Lexus LS400 - "The Lex"
'70 Chevelle - "The Chevelle"
'65 Shelby Cobra (Superformance Replica) - "The Cobra"
'69 Camaro RS Z-28 - "The Z/28"1970 Chevrolet Chevelle

Mine was named because of a discussion with my older brother about my plans for the engine being a 632 big block, I said "it should be quite a ground shaker" and he looked at me with a grin on his face and just said "EARTHQUAKE".
72 Nova SS, on the back burner for now.
current cruiser: "The green machine"
'70 Impala 4drht, 26K original miles, 2" drop springs and large swaybars, drives pretty good for a land yahct
in the middle of an ls1 swap, but thinking about changing directions to a duramax diesel swap.

I don't think I can print the names my wife comes up with for it. And that's when she's in a good mood.
(This is her when she gets my credit card bill for the car)
