My daughter was 4 when she named my 93 GT "Max"

I like it, she is 9 now and the name has stuck

She also named my 97 z24 "Maggie", my older daughter has that car currently and that name has also stuck.

Blue Mustang and Red Mustang. I might call the blue one "The GT." I was never big on giving them human names.

I might call the 4-cylinder Bessie going uphill, though. Like "C'mon Bessie!"

My '87 I call "Red Stripe" - She looks like the beer bottle.
My old '91 2.3 I called "The Mootang" - Was so slow I had to make a cow reference.
My friend's '01 F-350, he calls it "Trigger" - Not really sure why.

Is it a manual tranny Mustang? If so, it may have to do with your driving.

Now it may be from the bucks spent on upkeep.

I've never really understood the whole naming a car thing, with that I refer to mine mostly as "the stang".

"The Pork Chop Express" is what my car is named, because Big Trouble in Little China is a man's movie. P.S. Lo Pan rules.

I have never named my car, or even referred to it as a he/she lol. Its just, the "stang" or "Mustang", or when things don't go my way, its "You F**K**G Thing" or "Damn POS" lol

A personified vehicle is harder to sell or push off a cliff. Any horse name, like Old Paint, seems appropriate. Its also better than calling it swear words when there is a problem.
