My wife started naming our cars randomly. I suprised her when I thought of one for the Z. It's named "Louise" after the Bob' Burgers character. She has the same sort of attitude.

I refer to mine as "Sir", and never make direct eye contact.

I named her Scarlet. I have no fear of her cheating on me (As with the Scarlet Letter). However, I went with Scarlet because of the shade of red she wears. And frankly, when I drive her...I just don't give a damn!
