car naming

(Not a name as that's just silly but...

Mrs FA's got one & there's a design fault that ended up costing us shitloads. When you open the boot, there's a cable (or wrapped bunch of cables) that powers rear lights/washer/other stuff; I'm not a mechanic. Due to its position (at the top of the boot - upper left as you're looking at it), it gets worn when you do something ridiculous like opening the fucking boot. It then means you can't open the boot & the dash illuminates with an array of warning lights. Ultimately it can fuck something else electric (body control unit? loom?) which main dealers then try and get £1200 out of you for. I ended up taking it to a more friendly local bloke who fixed it for half that (ie he used a lot of tape)).

I'd suggest Thatfuckingmoneypit or Justfuckingsellit as apposite names. It's how Mrs FA's is generally referred to.

It's partly his fault we have got it. I'm told he has had one for years and loves it.
 
The Teal Mobile…? I'm shite at naming things. I don't understand why people need to name cars/other inanimate objects (boats aside). I do like the colour, and those new Fiats are cute (fuck I'm anthropomorphising a car…:rolleyes: but they are).
Our convention is the use the letters to suggest a name. Current car is called Geno cos there is DXM in the reg.

I read something somewhere the other day about a guy who got a new Merc van for work and immediately returned it because the first part of the reg was BJ69… (and here was I thinking the DVLA was a bit hot on naughty regs).
