I just spoke to Elliott about this and he thinks that guy is TA..

Don't worry Pandas on wheels, Vincent/Vince and I had a pretty fast discussion as well and decided OP isn't an A-hole, but an imbecilic dingbucket that doesn't deserve his ex or Angie. We read that he got dumped and that he thanked us for the judgments. Well, on behalf of Vince and I, YOU ARE WELCOME!!! -_-"

“Thanks for the judgement” No problem loser!!

Millie agrees, this dude is a douchewagon

I bought the Minnow in 2012 after my divorce and for a few months I stayed with a friend in a rural area. If I needed to go into town for errands, I generally did them all at once so my friend said I should call her that because every trip was a 'three hour tour.' The Minnow turned 21 this year! If we can name boats, why not cars?!

My first car was called Floozy cos the 1st 3 letters were FLZ. My current car is the Beast cos it could seriously survive an apocalypse...or me as the driver/owner, same diff.

That guy sounds super boring.

Matilda wants to hang out with Angie and talk about how her person did the right thing in dumping this fun sucker.

I am going with NTA, although it might have been in the way he said it. But this sort of cutesy talk would absolutely drive me crazy, I could never be with a person who is like that.

Definitely the AH for bringing it up with others present. If it bothered him that much he should have just broken up with her. I share the same opinion about naming vehicles but to each there own.

Unless the car is called Christine, don’t worry about it.

Otis would be furious with OP if it wasn't because I had to take him to the scrapyard 25 years ago. He died of old age, as one can only aspire to.

Object personification is an interesting thing, isn’t it? I haven’t bought my own car and never thought about naming cars (though as a kid I did pretend all cars were Transformers), but I guess that if/when I buy one, I’ll name it Ratchet (after my favourite Transformer).

My sister had a friend growing up who named her cars Yolanda the Honda and Gretta the Jetta. I had an old Acura Integra in college and slapped an Autobot sticker on the hood, started calling it Integrabot :D

Its just fun

We name household appliances. Our bug electrocuter is called Frank Zapper, our grill pan handle is called Dave and our vacuum is called Jaws because it's from the brand 'Shark'.

I purchased my lovely “Apocalypta” right as the pandemic lockdown hit.

My first car's name was Whipped Cream. Second car was Strawberry. Third car was Sexy. My fourth, and current car, is called Blueberry. Now, guess the cars! Lol

Our old Toyota got nicknamed Rattleclank, because it was old and we put a transformers logo on the front. Our new one doesn't have a name.

Who doesn't give their car a name?

My Jeeps name is Sebastian Bach...and he thinks this dude is a douche!

Azerel agrees the guys a jerk and so does Grandpa Alfie

My car was Jezebel. She had an emergency vet fund for when she got sick amongst other typical anthropomorphisms. Not only is this just a quirk I have, it has a function - it was much easier (and less painful) for me to budget for my car's expenses if I thought of her as a creature (after years of horse care this came naturally, but I was used to free public transport as I'm disabled).

naming cars is one thing, but OP shouldve told her in private if he was uncomfortable with her "humanizing" it my driving instructor named his car and said things like getting the car a drink instead of getting it refueled its not a big deal

The floater in my right eye is named Stewart. Both our vehicles were vehemently against being named, and I had to respect that.

My wife taught me that we name cars, I've never heard it. If you have an issue with this you'll have more issues with a person who does that so ... good riddance

Car naming sounds embarrassing to me as well, but it is still extremely rude to say that to someone especially if they're helping you. It's like if someone enjoys wearing a specific shirt that you think is extremely ugly- you still don't comment on it. F*****g rude. If he disliked it so much, he could have just broken up with her instead of insulting her like that.

Derek and I think the same! Dude's an AH! Our previous little car Dante also says so! And so do my rice cooker Ranma, my fan Alexis, my air frier Blythe, and all my other appliances that also have names! It's funny, nonsensical and just a harmless quirk for someone to have. Why would someone be so irked by it, I don't understand.

I got angry reading that it is anthropomorphizing to give a cat and dog a name, but it is necessary to be able to call them. Apart from that I have always tried to talk about or to computers politely, and as a result I almost never have trouble with them while colleagues who didn't or even bad mouthed theirs had their computers acting out all the time. When I was asked to swap computer with a colleague whose computer gave trouble I had no trouble with his but my old one broke down after one day in his company.

It does sound really annoying tbf, I obviously wouldn't call it out in front of people but still ick

Not a car but people Name their roombas. My parents called their Czesław. My ex has one named Sztywny. The guy in the post is no fun

Eccentric? Yes. Symptom of mental health issue? Most likely no. Harming anyone? Definite no here. She needs to find someone with a sense of humor and enough respect for her to not publicly shame her for something so trivial and harmless.

I had an old skool Fiat Panda. After almost 20 years she broke down on the highway and I had to leave it there to be picked up by a tow truck the next day. I could not sleep that night. I kept thinking of my Panda all alone on the side of the highway...

tbh, I never took the car thing as far as OP's ex gf. But I did name my previous car, a Nissan juke, "junebug" just because I thought it was cute and it reminded my of the OG VW beetle. Wasn't so happy when the transmission broke and left me stranded on the roadside though! It took months and thousands of $ to get a replacement gearbox. I just got it back fixed after a very long wait, and only 3 weeks after I gave up and bought a second hand Toyota Vitz. So now I'm selling Junebug, our relationship failed, but I've got Vitz to get me around in economical style. ;-) All three of us, Vitz, Junebug and I, think OP is TA for not appreciating the service Angie and her owner did him, transporting him and his drunk friends to and from the bar.

This makes me miss my car Rumple a gold...ish Ford Taurus

I think he’s an 🫏🕳️ because poor Angie is walking (driving) around being called “Angie” when her name is actually “Heather.”

Trevor disapproves of the BF's judgmental behavior ... I disapprove of him being judgmental and complaining about the judgments he got ...
