I call mine just "The Old Lady"..it's a 1988. Sometimes we cruise the mall after the Old Lady takes off her top. When I want to go drive I have a day with the Old Lady, etc.. etc..

I can't decide which is more incredibly mind-numbingly ghey, immature and stupid, naming it a girl's name or naming it some clever snappy title.

Hmmm.

I guess they are tied for first.

Oh, and referring to it as "she" is every bit as sad.

If you really want your car to be a dude nobody is going to strip you of such pleasures.

Just plain ole "VERT" and other times when he/she is acting up, a few choice 4 letter ones.
When I called her "GIRL", the real ones didn't want to ride her.

I call mine Christine. Remember the movie Christine based on the novel that was about that old 58 plymouth fury that was possessed? I remember the exhaust note that car had in the movie and my corsa sounds just like it hence the name.... that and they are both red. People make fun of me all the time for naming my vette........ i dont care, at least ive got a corvette hehe.
