Default What do you call your car?

I know many people name their cars for various reasons and though I'm not one of those who do usually name inanimate objects I've decided to call my Felly "Gnome" because it appears to be a large garden ornament at the moment
So what do you call your car - and maybe why?

All my cars are getting on a bit, so their names depend a lot on wether they start or not!

I guess swearing isn't allowed on here!
