In honor of SennaVille's Betsy... it got me thinking, I've known quite a few women that have stated they've named their cars. Is this a woman thing? I've never named a car I've owned. I do think of the cars I've owned in the male gender. Well I had a minivan that I thought of as a eunuch but all of the others have been boys... but never a name.

Have you ever named your car?

Nope, a friend (male) does though and someone years ago had a car called sh!t though it was everyone else that called it that but not for the reason you'd think.

To use my phone in the car I deleted all my German contacts, it's now Hans free.

Naming cars is geeky, so is referring to them as 'she'.

Came out fighting indeed.

Our Volvo is The Orlov - a friend of ours kept calling it that, despite the fact it's not what they meant, and the name has stuck.

My previous car was called Kuryakyn; the current one has no name (yet

).
