Default Has anyone named their car?

I've never named a car in my life, until I got my S2000. My (awesome) girlfriend bought me the car after 10 years of pining for one, so when she suggested naming it, I had to get on board (or risk having to pay for it myself).

We ended up naming her Steffi, after the tennis player because she's fast, not the youngest in the game, still looks amazing next to some of the younger models, and she' got a pretty big nose.

Now, if we see another S2000, she is ID'd as 'another Steffi'

Anyone else?

I know several friends who name their cars but i've never felt compelled to do so.

I do get very attached to my cars and end up spending far too much time and money on them but it's never got as far as naming.... yet

I'd give mine a name if it was the only condition of my wife getting me (another) one.

Yes; I refer to it as the Honda S2000.

This was my post from another thread:

While lots of guys like to call their cars "her" I have never really found anything effeminate regarding my S. My S is too fast, too powerful, too awesome to call it a bitch's name. Conversely I do not call it a dude either. It is just my S and that says enough for me. Good luck with calling your S some girly name. Or you could just call it Brad....

I know lots of guys like to name their cars, good for them. I know battle ships and aircraft carriers and just about any boat is a her and has a name. I have nothing against it, go for it my friends, but I never will. If I named my car, I would have to name my riding lawn mower, my weed wacker, the toaster, where would it end, would I have to name my phone(it is the one device that when I talk to it, it talks back).

However if I had a five year old daughter and she named it Twinkles or anything else then that would be its name forever!

Don't do naming, but calling a car 'she' makes me cringe.
