"This is my Vibe, her name is..."

Post by VforVIBE »

Has anyone named their Vibe, and actually call it by that name? Or has anyone else given your Vibe a nick name?

A friend nicknamed my Vibe the Vibe-rator (except of course he left off the - ) I prefer the hyphen, he doesn't, oh well it's my car. I've only had mine about 3 weeks, so still haven't come up with a pet name for it.

My Vibe's name is Vibe. Said "Vee-Bay."When I bought the car and showed it to my Puerto Rican Grandfather in law, he opened his hands wide, got a big smile on his face and exclaimed "VEE-BAY!!!!"The name stuck.

i'll throw down a woot for the moonstone vibe crowd!i don't name my cars, but i have friends who do - the problem is, you always end up with a name that's either an inside thing with a few of your friends, or something so glaringly obvious/overused that you might as well not have named the vehicle.of course, it's always great to know someone cares enough about their car to name it. 8^)

HA...Moonstone wasn't even an option in 2002 when I got mine so Nice driveway btw...that Bonnie is pretty sharp looking. Bonnie is mom's, GTO is brother's, Vibe is obviously yours and the Vette is dad's??? Probably wrong but I wanted to try to gues anyways I unofficially call mine "Rush" but almost allways call her "baby" just becasue it's rolls off a little easier... e.i. when I wake up in the morning I'll go into the garage and I'll say "wussup baby". lol, j/k.

I call my Vibe "some other unlucky SOB's problem." Before that, when I still owned the car, the name was Sir Knocksalot since the engine was pretty much a piece of crap and knocked like hell all the time. hehBTW, Neptune is the best color, youse guys are mistaken. Didn't you get the memo?

Been working two jobs sometimes three to make ends meet so my wife doesn't have to work. Have my new baby son at home so I spend every moment I can holding either him or my beautiful wife or both. I've just had too much living, loving and working to do. Never lost interest in my Vibe though. Almost 3 years of ownership now and I def think it was the best purchase decision I've ever made.

Thanks man. He's a fine boy. It's very hard to make ends meet but I'm very proud that my wife is home tending to him. We can't afford a house but at least I don't have to worry about someone else I don't trust taking care of him.

Decided to name mine "Recon".....Kinda fits with the Stealth color and me being prior military.And yea, I've only given 2 car's names in my 43 years but thought it sounded "right"...
2006 Stealth ...Drove off the lot on 7-17-06..Only add ons are the pinstriping, perddy dark tinted windows (20 on the back and 30 on the front I think), and now the Weathertech bug deflector....Thanx for an awesome site and fantastic folks !

I'd have to go with Lava on the best color option......nothing sexier than a Lava GT...The GF named me car "Speedy McSpeedWagon" because she thinks it should have an irish name. My volvo S80 was called "Sadie" and my Subaru DL was "Susie"...oh yeah, my ex-gf named my VW Passat "Ralph" and not because she was nauseated...
