I beleve in naming my car after women.
1: ya gotta listen to them or they stop working
2: they cost a lot of money
3:It feel good to have your friends say "wow she loooks great"

My wife calls our '74 "Lady". I call 'er "Red", unless I'm working on 'er. I won't repeat what I call 'er then.

Funny, we've never named any of our other cars...

No names yet, but maybe something even more strange.

She's definitely a female... and she gets a quick rub on the dash and a 'Good Girl' when she does what I ask her to, or has been made to sit in the rain all day.

Does that make me crazy? :conehead

I've not got a name for mine, but my wife calls it the B_tch. Seems like everything she drives it, something unexpected happens. :D

I don't name non-living things. BUT I have called it a few unmentionable names!

My wife calls it the "Money Pit" which is about right!
