We all do it so.... What's the name you have given your Jeep?

I call mine Martha. Traditional, but there's a reason.

What about the rest of you?

I can honestly says I have never 'named' a vehicle.

Lol.... I've never quite gotten the "naming" of one's vehicle. It just feels contrived.

Now, lots of guys I've wheeled with over the years have nicknamed their rigs, but usually it's more a description of the actual vehicle. I.e. - "the beater,"mall-crawler," "McNuts (due to the color scheme), etc.

Only women call their vehicle a name like it's a person, in my experience.

the jeep is called Sno_Blynd. mainly because when i stumbled across it, it was in the snow and i literally walked into it because i was snow blind.
the truck is called the jakyl because ive got it black a purple like the bird the grackle
and my escort is known as betsy. named by my mom because it looks like a cow.
