My blue civic back in 2005 was nicknamed cobalt. "You can take cobalt to pick dad up at the airport". Something I had picked up from Gone in 60 seconds that I found cool (naming cars, not cobalt)

First car was a pre-owned white '91 Ford Escort GT that I named Gypsy Jo. She was my traveling companion and served me well until some uninsured bitch rear-ended me.

Second car was Moonshadow, a brand-new blue '99 Honda Civic Si. He saw me through a bad breakup and we had many adventures together. I sold him to a car enthusiast in 2016 for $6500.

Current car is a pre-owned black 2011 Subaru Impreza Outback named Ira. He saw me safely on a long 14-hour drive when I recently moved.
