I don't know about all y'all but the names of my cars change...depending
upon circumstances.
The "lovely example of a 123, best model Mercedes ever made" can change to
"POS" in the turn of a wrench...and you all know what I mean.

We just refer to our fleet as "the blue car", "your/my car", "the grey
car", or "the van"

cars , e.g. "gertrude", "Brunhilde", Otto, "Hammer", etc. Dogs yes, cars
no.
