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)

My first car was named "Safely". Regardless of the quality of my driving, I was driving Safely.

My current car is Carefully.

I guess they were driving Safely, but not carefully

Got a little too safe - transmission started going out, so it became tough to even reach freeway speed.
