Name your Porsche?
How many people have a name for their Porsche and do they call it a girl?
I don't, just asking. |

Our Son asked me once why I refer to Targa as a "she". I told him that like a girl, it has smooth lines, makes your heart pound, needs to be treated just right, can confuse you with various problems that you can never truly understand and should always be respected and never abused.
He thinks I should call her "Mom" then...

My 84 was the red car, 73 was the track car, 69 is the E.
Only car I ever named was a 63 VW crewcab pick-up, Beasley. I don't get the whole "working on my baby" thing. that's just weird.

My wife calls the 911 Charlene - watch the Simpsons episode where Bart plays Todd Flanders in the mini golf competition and you'll get it. I do refer to her sometimes as "the old girl".

Even though mine says "ruby" in my sig, I never really call her that. It's usually either just "the Porsche," "the turbo", or "the porker". Sometimes, for understandable reasons, she's known as "that f@cking car".
Girls that I work with like to name the car, though. One calls it the "Jolly Rancher" and another calls it "Craisin", after similar-colored foodstuffs.

Uh............no. I do NOT "name" my cars.
Neither do I write in purple or pink ink I don't sign my name with a little smiley face as the dot over the "i" I don't describe things as "cute", "precious" or "adorable" and... I don't paint my toenails.

No names... the 930 tag says "Rakete" but I don't call it that. It's "the Porsche" or "the 930". JP

No names for my cars or bikes. I guess if I had to, it would probably be a masculine name, though. Same with the current moto. They're both hairy-beast types. But, FWIW, my son has named the 911 the "Smiley Car."
Very funny, Lubey. Don't know if I should share that one with my wife.
