Hello giselle17, welcome to Psych Central!

I don't think it is that unusual to name and get attached to a car (especially if it is your first car,) it gave you independence and a means to freedom and you found comfort in being able to take solace and time alone away from all the worries, right.

Personally, I am attached to a lot of inanimate objects and for me it started in childhood, unable to find comfort in humans, I found objects that gave me comfort. I remember being quite young and I found a stone which to me looked like a magical diamond, something good happened after finding that stone so I believed that the stone had given me good luck.

It could be that it is related to your childhood like me or it could be you have found comfort in your car when human beings can't give you what you are looking for right now. It would be good to talk about this with your therapist if you have one, it sounds like you feel you are needing comfort for something. Hugs
