Cars don't need names.

It's OK, right?

Anybody else out there that feels as I do?

Names are for animate objects and until my car becomes sentient, all it needs is a VIN.

Adjectives are good enough with an occasional adverb thrown in. Some not so nice.

Anyway that's how I feel.

No name here either. My car is simply referred to as the MG or "The B". And occasionally it is referred as F'ing POS! angry smiley

x3 "the B". For 30 years it was "the A". Don't understand the need to name the car. Haven't given a name to my car since high school.

We call mine "the yellow car" or "the green car", although the green one has almost as much primer as green.

Mine will be the "B" , when I have the option to "take the B"

Until then and it's completion it will always be the MoneyPit.

1968 MGB Purchased already dis-assembled but which is largely back together so I'm a lot less ignorant.

I have returned to the no-name club and redacted my GT's name from this forum. We never used it anyhow. Now it's "The MG" since I only have one.


1974 MGB-GT: black-label overdrive, essentially stock detoxed engine, Schlemmerized distributor.

Always a good laugh found on this forum! Perhaps the reason I find this amusing is due to the fact I have said (or yelled) the same or even worse at any given time.

BTW, no name here either. Just referred to as the MG.

Same here, never understood people who named their cars. The car came with a name from the factory and that's what I use.

The only reason my car has a name on here is because that's what my dad calls it, "the Midge". But I call it the B or the MG.
