On this week's Car Talk, we share some of the hundreds of car names we received, following our recent call from Robert.

Robert just bought a used pickup, and was concerned about the possible deleterious effects of changing its name, from Mark to Marcie. That's right... Robert's pickup's got a name.

We told Robert that the whole idea of naming vehicles is foreign to us — neither of us has ever named a car. Cars don't have souls, they're just inanimate boxes designed to move us from one place to another.

But, many of you said, "Au contraire, Piston Pusses!" Many, many hundreds, actually.

One listener went so far as to suggest we let you name our cars for us.

So, now's your chance. Got a name for one of our cars? Take a look, see what name strikes you, and share it with us.

Yours in calling our vehicles something other than &*$#-box,

Tom and Ray
Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers
