It’s National Name Your Car Day
Do you remember your first car? It probably gave you your first sweet taste of teenage freedom. And what about your favorite car – you know, the one with the sunroof? How about the clunker with the duct-taped bumper you drove back and forth to college? Maybe you just upgraded the family Truckster to a new sporty model perfect for an empty nest!
Regardless of the reasons, most of us have fond memories attached to our vehicles. And on National Name Your Car Day, we honor our beloved roadsters by proudly christening them with their own quirky personalities.
Whether it’s the Beige Bomb, Ms. Chumpy, or your own creative creation, give your car a little love AND a name today!
