No they use, not the name that he factory has been given, but a name that you give your car!

I tend to be everywhere names. My computer, for example, is called Egbert (is an iMac, the “I” sounds like “ei”, in English it’s “egg” and Egbert, then, is the logical consequence. My cars have, therefore, also names. My old Saab 900 cabrio is called Jaap. Jaap de Saab, that’s logical. The XJ-S from 1985 is called Jaques. Also quite logical. Jaques the Jag, nice and classy. And then I move me in a BMW 330d from 2005. That is called Arnold, to Arnold Schwarzenegger. That was in the past a powerhouse, but now the years start to count do for him all not necessary any more. But if it must, then can he still use it. Just like the Bimmer. My wife once had a black Audi A1. That thing looked like a transistor, so that quickly got the name “Tokkie”. Her Ford Focus was called Jodocus. Explanation is superfluous, I think!

Therefore, the question, am I the only one with this tap, or are there more people who have their cars antropomorfiseren and the beast have a name? Or who gave him his name may be ascribed to the rise of a certain property, such as the Opel at the top of this article. And tell especially why your car is called as he is called, we like that!
