I wonder if this is a generational thing. I've never named my cars.
I was wondering the same thing, but didn't know how to properly do a poll that would reflect that. Also, there's already a couple polls on age of MME owners.

My Fusion Hybrid was "The White Shadow", while the Fusion Energi's name in MyFord Mobile was "Bordeaux Brrr". The Mach-E is "Red Ryder" in FordPass.

In all three cases, it's related to the car's color.

My Mustang GT was sometimes "The White Shadow" but I wasn't too hung up on it.

My Focus was the first car I officially named, it was "Hocus Pocus Focus" mainly because of the magical twin plate clutch "auto" transmission. Traded that in for my StormTrooper, my current White Escape that my daughter renamed the "S-CAP-A" she wanted to give it a French flair. My MME was to be StormTrooper II but when my order was converted to a 22' I switched the color to Grabber Blue and she will aptly be named "lil Blue Meanie"
For those of you unaware or not old enough to remember, a rock and roll group did a movie and this was one of the characters.

Wife named the clunker she drove when I met her. I advised her to stop that nonsense and she came to her senses. ?

No, I personally find it really cringey. But people should do what they like, it’s their car (and their car payment)!

When it arrives I'm naming it car. Then I will affectionately say "This is my car." ?

So if you got a Cyber Orange MME would it be the Yellow Submarine?

I bet those guys regret that; they obviously never made it from obscurity to making it onto "american top 40".

Its a shame when entertainers commit career suicide so early and never get a chance to showcase their talent.

I don't do yellow! Have had bad luck with yellow all my life, last time was flying a 1956 Piper Cub with a friend and the motor quit at 1500' and the only clear place to set it down was in a vineyard, destroyed the plane, broke my right metacarpal, and did 300k worth of damage to the vineyard. Never again will I own anything Yellow!
