Yes, every one of them.
I had a van that leaked fluids all over the place. I called it "Leakin Lena". My truck used to belong to Al's Awning Service, so I call it "Al". My wife calls her Grand Cherokee "Yumpin Yeep".

Yes, but only my first car ever. It was a...
1969 Ford Pinto, and I nicknamed as "Pintro?n".

Of course, a 1962 white Dodge Custom 880 4 door sedan; ARKEE.
Because it drove and smelled like it had 2 of every animal in it. What a boat to drive and ride in. 16 to 18 year old bomb at the time. Yes a couple of friends called me Noah a few times.
A white Scion XB 2006 was named the "Kelvenator" because it looked like an appliance.

Ha!

Only one. In 1980 I had a '67 Mercury Park Lane that I always thought was a big boat. So...
... I called her "The Queen" as in Queen Mary.

Just one. My 1972 Chevy Kingswood wagon was "The Titanic"
