Sorry but I think it is a silly thing to do, after all it is just an inanimate object. I often wonder if those who name their car also name other objects, like their kitchen table or lawn mower etc. I always thought it was a girlie thing to do as they were the only ones known to me to do such a thing.

So having probably upset half the membership of LOC, I would point out that it is my personal opinion to which I am entitled.

Another pet hate of mine is people who refer to their car as 'SHE'. It is a thing for goodness sake, a sexless object which is neither male or female so what is wrong with refering to it as 'IT' the car won't mind at all.

It gives a temperamental object a bit of personality. And you end up bankrupting yourself on accessories and maintenance after you make a commitment. :)

lmao great stuff.

:offtopic:

I offered up a rear spoiler to mine and I swear I heard my car say

....

wait for it...

almost there...

"Does my b#m look big in this ?" :rolleyes:

PS mine is a Female :flowers: and she is un-originally called 'Lexy' :wub:

The lex is called lexee (yep original I know :whistling: )

The starlet is 'the tart' although I named it 'Tommy' when we first saw it but Barrie banned me from ever calling it that :tomato:

The 306 is called Poggy as Puggy is just way too common :lol:

The Zafira is known as the van as thats what its used as

My Roadster was called Mabel as I thought she (yes she was a she :P ) looked like a little old lady

& the kids named our old Escargo van Timmy which I think even the new owners still call it by

Personally I think its better to shout & scream at & be able to kick something with a name when it goes wrong or praise it when its going right B)

Same reason we name ships and refer to them as females. It gives a temperamental object a bit of personality. And you end up bankrupting yourself on accessories and maintenance after you make a commitment. :)

No it is not. Ships are given names in order to identify them to others. Cars are given number plates to identify them.
