Anyone superstitious?

So I was just wondering if anyone was superstitious when it came to their car? Stuff like carrying good luck charms when you drive, naming your car, or anything else whether you are serious about it or just for fun?

Here is my constant co-pilot, his name is Fast and in addition to being a very menacing looking bunny, he is the god of speed and agility. I originally got him for my old GTI years ago but I keep him front and center in every car I've had from Audi A4, Toyota Matrix, and now FR-S.



Am I the only crazy one or does anyone else name their car for good luck, or have charms to keep them safe?

I really hope that thing is bolted down. It would be pretty ironic to be injured by the improperly secured good luck charm.

I bought it along when I first got mine as well, but it really didn't work without it rolling around everywhere in the interior. The Fast is heavy!

Yep isn't that the creepy looking VW talisman thing from the ad campaign? Hmm don't know the year but probably 2000ish?

The autograph looks great. I'd just be concerned if it will hold up on a well used daily driver. Oh we'll a plastic pry tool and another panel and it stays new.

My dad gave me a good luck charm that his mother sent him from Japan when he started driving in the U.S. Really needed it, had a lot of bad luck with my car. Never had a problem with the FRS since I stuck it in.

I am a little superstiatious when it comes to my car actually but that's not why I named her. Her name is Blow, cause she's addicting and white.
