My car needs a name, and I've only been able to come up with a few names stolen from TV and movies so far. The list of choices currently consists of:
Dead Reckoning
Serenity
Innocent Fishing Boat
Slave I
None of them seem particularly suitable. The number plate provides very little guidance, too - JBR. I am hesitant to just pronounce it as is, calling the car "Jabber", because that makes no sense.
Mokalus of Borg
PS - I suppose it could be John's Big Rig.
PPS - That's in the same category as Dead Reckoning, though: too much for a small car.

I for one, am a firm supporter of the ridiculous overstatment when discussing vehicles.
Something clearly not applicable would most be much better.
Something as simple as
1. The Rig
2. Beast
Or if all else fails
3. Shirley
You have to be careful with the name you choose because I found it often sticks - even if you write the car off or move out of the country.
My first ever car (the white 1984 corolla), had the name 'Betsy'. I wrote her off in 1999. My replacement car, the yellow 1984 corolla (yellow as it could be seen from further away) got the same name. The third car I bought (in the UK), a 1994 Blue Ford Escort, creatively got the name 'Betsy the Second'.
This is either unearthing something amazing about car names or is showing that I don’t have a creative or imaginative bone in my body. I'll go with the later.
