Good morning. It's Haystack. And if you've got a nickname for your car, don't feel odd. That's not odd at all. Says the guy who's never nicknamed my car. Yeah, I'm, I'm in the two thirds. I'm sorry, but a third of Americans say their car has a nickname. A third? Now they generally. According to this new survey, they generally fit into one of three categories for the name. They're either a pop culture name, like, you know, Batmobile, the Love Bug, the Millennium Falcon, or they're a strong name.
Think about the Beast or the Silver Bullet or Old Yeller. My best friend used to call his truck Old Yeller. You know, stuff like that. So you're, in this case, you're either proud of your car or you're being sarcastic. And then there are of course, self deprecating names. Names like turtle or slug or puddle jumper. One person in the survey said their car's name is Rolling Turd. Reminds me of my favorite Adam Sandler song.
A. A separate poll last year found that the top things that we consider when naming our car are its personality. Making model personality. One in eight Americans say their car has feelings. Wow, that's. That's sad. I'm gonna be honest. I think that's sad. But that being said, maybe you, maybe you've thought about giving your car a name. You haven't. You kind of struggle to come up with one. Well, your buddy Haystack is here to help you out.
Our morning six pack are the top six nicknames for a vehicle based on the model coming in at number six. For Buicks, a four wheeled coffin. Number five. If you have a windowless white van, Stranger danger. Number four, Nissan Sentra is of course the melatonin machine. Number three. Oh, this is gonna get me in so much trouble. No, school's out. It's okay. White Jeep Wrangler with sorority letters in the window. Obviously Mean girl. Number two. If you drive a Subaru, it's clearly Ellen.
And the number one nickname based on your car model. If you've got a Corvette, you gotta call it Little Willie. It's small.
