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)

    Huh. Naming a car, the model name of a completely different brand of car, a model which was contemporary with your car, would be very confusing to me.

    You can take cobalt

    “But you don’t have a cobalt.”

      I do this on purpose, to annoy any friend who catches a ride with me.

      Walking up to my Ford Tempo, “I thought you drive a Cadillac?!”

      “That’s a nickname.”

      The Cobalt doesn’t really sell where I live, at least I have never seen one. I had to duckduckgo it
