Anthropomorphizing Your Vehicle?

[By Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA CMP™]

Unfortunately, many people do not think about naming their cars. Name Your Car Day has been set aside especially for those of you who may have forgotten this little ritual.

It’s very common for people to name their boats so why is it that some people forget to name their car?

Let’s face it, our cars do a lot for us and many of us would be lost without them so why not take the time to think of a good name for your daily companion. If it weren’t for him/her how would you get to work? How would you go shopping? How would you take the kids to soccer practice? How would you get to the office, clinic or hospital?

Back in the Day

When I was a kid, we were poor and had seven vehicles, or “beaters”, parked on the public inner-city side streets.  Our hope was that on any given day – two would start-up and be drivable.  There were six of us in the family, although only two had valid driver licenses for our little car pool

Obviously, we never named any of em’.

Today, my wife, daughter and I have four very serviceable cars; three are daily drivers, and one, our Jaguar 2000  sedan [XJ-V8-L], is special – used occasionally or only on the weekends. All have names; a tradition started by my daughter when she was a kid. There is Snow Rachel,  Mr. Ed, Blackie and Ellie [short for elegant]

At the Ready

Yes, we are blessed today. All four automobiles are always there for us whenever we need them; unlike when I was a kid. Who could ask for more dependability than that?

So, on “Name Your Car Day”, take the time to choose a name that your car, and you, will be proud to call your own.
