I called my first car (a 1970's Fiat) Valdez as I bought it around 1990 and it left a trail of oil everywhere
.
Since then, none of my cars have had enough personality (faults?) to warrant a name.
Resident grumpy old fart VW - Metallic Paint, Radial Tyres, Laminated Windscreen, Electric Windows, VW Alloy Wheels, Variable Geometry Exhaust Driven Supercharger, Direct Unit Fuel Injection, Adiabatic Ignition, MacPherson Struts front, Torsion Beam rear, Coil Springs, Hydraulic Dampers, Front Anti-Roll Bar, Disc Brakes, Bosch ECU, ABS
My Pulsar is called Gary. He got this name for 2 reasons. Remember the Nicorette ads where there was a cheerleading team singing "No Gary no!", we modified that and sang "Go Gary go!" whenever faced with a steep hill.
My Polo GTi is Wolfgang.
Thought a German name would be fitting
Indeed, I've been trying to teach my wife how to correctly pronounce Volks Wagen: Follks Varrgen. She struggles with that a bit, but it's better than Vowks Waggin as most English-speaking people pronounce it.
Incidentally, the letters VW in German are pronounced Fau Vet.

Yeah, not too sure how to pronounce it to be honest.
Not sure whether to just say it the Aussie/English way, or the proper way.
Either way, I'm going to sound like an idiot to someone.. :|
