hahah, names...
my first car: 1984 Chevy Caprice Classic... He instantly inherited the name "Rusty" after his cat rusted and fell off on the way home from buying him...
my jeep: 1995 Jeep Wrangler, Sahara edition... after my first time off road in him on a new, unfamiliar trail he earned the nick name "Little Boy Blue"... he was green and tan by the way..
my truck: 1990 Dodge Dakota: Dad bought this truck when i was born...yeah i know im young... but after about 24 hours after i bought it from him it got the name "old red" for obvious reasons.
my third gen: 1987 Chevy Camaro: Bought him 3 days ago... after getting him home i noticed a deathly radiator leak... and he got the name "Squirt"...
Haven't got a name for mine, but I agree with what some have been saying on the male/female issue. There are a lot of cars that strike me as feminine, the Pontiac Solstice among them (not sure why, nice car, just comes off that way), but the Camaro has always seemed more masculine to me.
Reasons:
Deep, throaty "Voice" (V8)
Strong, muscular lines
Highly competitive -- if not a little over-ambitious at times
Agressive styling and attitude
I agree, my car is currently uni-sex, it goes from her to him intermittantly. I think the reason we tend to give our cars girl names is that we devote so much time to them that it becomes almost a relationship. Or, it could be that we love them way more than we (and im sorry, when im saying we, i mean we guys, im not being sexist in the least bit, and if youre a woman with a 3rd gen, you get that much more respect from me for not driving some stupid VW cockroach.) would ever love a man.
You bring up an interesting point with the female drivers, though... do women perceive their cars as male? Any women on the boards who could give a response? Now I'm interested to know...
I've always thought of my baby as male, from the day I got him. He doesn't specifically have a name, but I refer to him as my "black stallion" or the beast, though I have called him POS for a while until recent problems were fixed.

Lmao I'm sorry....so right now your car is a hermaphrodite??? I'm sorry that just poped into my head. Well I said maunals to me were males and automatics females...so I guess if you had a semi-auto it would be a hermaphrodite.
