What's your Mazda 5 nicknamed?

Phantom, because we bought the Phantom Blue Mica. We're no-brainer kind of people. We "named" our Toyota Echo "Echo." But it's kind of neat to have a Phantom and an Echo in the garage (wink)
 
The White Buddha, I have a little Buddha amulet handing from the rear view mirror. I also call it "The 5" but I try to use The White Buddha.
 
Right now the wife and I call it filthy, but when it has it's bath it will go back to "Zoom" :D
 
Ours is "The Blue Ghost" or "The Blue Ghost Car." It's Phantom Blue and when we explained to our then-3-year-old that a phantom was a ghost, it became the Blue Ghost.
 
I guess I'm in the minority here, having actually given my 5 a "real" name. She is Felicity, as it means "bringer of happiness," because this vehicle met so many of the criteria I needed/wanted in a car!
 
"Midori-san" - for the birght green of the center stack lighting. This came about because the other mazda (my wife's MZ3) has bright orange lighting which prompted us to name him "Masago" (like the sushi fish eggs of the same color). Interesting though that we refer to Masago as a 'him', but Midori as a 'her'

"Kampai" for those names :p
 
I call my Silver 5 "Hi-Ho", those of you over 50 should figure out why. Those of you under 50, use Google to look up The Lone Ranger.
