GREAT thread! I have named vehicles since my first bicycle!

My 2009 Land Cruiser is named Scout; our 2011 Sequoia is named Pearl.

Honorable mentions to a few of my/our past vehicles:
2002 F-250 was Hagrid (huge black truck)
1994 Ford Explorer 4-door was T2
2004 Ford Expedition was Magellan
1972 GMC pick-up (step side with the wooden bed) was Precious

You always see the Jeep folks with their vehicles named on their hoods...names like "Dominator" or "Slayer"....and it got me wondering if other people, jeep or otherwise, have named their rigs. So....

...Whats your rig's name and why did you name it that?

Mine is Caird, named after the small boat James Caird. The James Caird was a 22.5ft life boat that arguably saved the lives of Ernest Shackleton and the crew of the Endurance in 1916. The Endurance was trapped in the ice in the Weddell Sea of Antarctica and eventually sank. While the overall story of the Endurance is quite a good one, the Caird is known for the open ocean journey from Elephant Island to South Georgia, 800 miles in rough seas (at times 100ft swells) and no navigation except stars and luck. When you consider the size of the ocean, the size of South Georgia, and the fact that past that is just the open Atlantic, it was a miracle they landed on South Georgia.

In the spirit of overlanding, and the fact that my rig is my life boat, I named my 4Runner Caird.

I call my '14 Land Cruiser Hotel California because I removed the second and third row seats to allow sleeping inside.
