Naming ones vehicle - boys names vs girls names

[brotherharry]

Prompted by this getting christened 'Jenson', wondered what the PH collective has to say on the topic of naming your pride and joy 'appropriately'.

I've never named a car until my Eunos.

She's called Venus, because the front is always covered in dead flies.

Love that. Layers of meaning and suitability.

My wife is of the opinion that male names for cars are bad luck. I am of the opinion it is a stupid idea. She called the Monaro Sheila. Say no more.

Bruce, the Monaro couldn't be any name other than Sheila.

Where's the option for 'naming cars is just fking stupid'?

Some hybrid of the final two options possibly?

Is that because like raising sheep/chickens/cows you shouldn't name them because at some point you're going to eat it?

I've never named any of my cars, although the wife does call mine "Lizzy".

What about the car?

That would have worked much better if you'd cut out the first half of my post.

Because yours is Thin?
