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)

we named our first electric car "White Fire" as an hommage to the launch roller coaster "Blue Fire" in the theme park Europa Park (Germany) near where we live.

In January we gave back the white car to the leasing company and got a gray one, which is now named "Greyfire".
