[What's Burning?]

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.

Shrek because of the colour green it is.

"You piece of ****"

"Plastic-lined, beige-colored bloatmobile"

"Exploder"

Never named any of mine past or present but if I did they would have been called Mr.Reliable #1-#2 etc etc. Guess what brand??

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

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 ).

So is that short for "hate it ORLOVe it"?

Actually, it was meant to be Ovlov (Volvo backwards)

You could call the new one OBMAL then
