My problem with that is remembering and generating it. First problem is easy to solve with password managers but you still have to generate an ideally long car name with no bias. If you put some bias, then it might be backtracked. You can have a dictionary of possible car names but then you're open to attack if that dictionary is found or predictable enough that someone else can compile that list. It just doesn't feel secure enough to me.
