What is it with people who name their cars?
Mine only got a name as white was a novelty colour on the S and so many people asked "What are you going to call it?"

I'm wonder if others name the car from the tradition of naming ships.

The new one won't have a name.

To be fair, the Landcruiser has a rarely used nickname of Oppenheimer. It even has his infamous quote on the back of the ipod in the glove box

Because it's an SUV or because you have a suitcase nuke in the back (apparently they're both as damaging to the environment)?

My Mrs had an orginal mini when I met her.

She called it Roary because it used to roar. It was her first car and she loved it and I was happy with her having a name for it...

... but it is most definitely a girl/gay thing to do.

Actually, some naming convention related to whore is OK.
I think whore would be entirely appropriate.
Given that I am now whoring myself for sponsorship I'm not sure who the whore is....
Bitch is probably more accurate.
