Why do women name cars?

Just reading the post with Maria naming her car and my missus does the same.

My last Audi was called Alfie and she calls the new one Archie, she's even named the Golf we haven't got yet George

Desert storm etc, what WERE you thinking?

Weird thing was, it generally did kind of seem to make sense back in the day when I heard them referred to in that way

dunketh

All my cars have been called 'The Shitter'

I dont even suffix them with Roman Numerals... they're all just called the same thing.
My wife named the Moggy 'Wilbur' because the M logos on the hubcaps were upside down one day so she thought they were Ws.
How do they get through each day...

naming cars really winds me up, the manufacturer did it when they made it!

I got a mini aswell, and it seems ALL (except me) mini drivers name the bloody things, AND wave and flash at each other!?????

Wierd!

I don't understand it either. My mate has named his car for some reason. I think it's totally gay and stupid the whole naming thing. Is it cool to give cars names? I don't get it

I've always named my cars..... my Punto was called the hedgehog, my cavalier was the Cavalier of Doom or Chavvy for short and my Fiesta is called Fanita but Fanny for short.
It's not just cars though, I name lots of stuff!

wackie1

my MG Maestro was called Moggy
and my Peugeot Boxer motorhome was called Polly
my Freelander was called 'fuck me - er how much depreciation in 2 years??'
and my current car doesn't have a name after 5 years!

Yeah it's a girl thing i think to personalise things and make them all fluffy and cwute! And they cost as much as bloody children so why not do the whole christening thing too!

cheeky dog

might be all the males from their past!!!!

Dangerous Malcolm..

Maybe by personalising them they think they'll listen to what they say and be more reliable?


My first car was affectionately known as 'Blue Ice', and my second was 'White Lightning'. Then I grew up.

wackie1

I haven't had that many cars

cheeky dog

hmmmm duno....

your damn strght tho with the saying in your sig... i do agree

Nath

Wouldn't seem right naming a period or mood swing

wackie1

aah but do you agree with the obvious meaning or the more ambiguous one??! I'll go with both being so right!

and ur sig needs to be changed to 'car alarm' not burglar alarm (luvvin' it!!!!)

cheeky dog

the obvious one!!!!! but then my obvious might not be the same obvious as yours...im a 22 yr old male!!!!!

what obviouos you talking about? lol

could change the sig but it applies to the house too

COCHYN

Its sweet when they name motors like Metro's that are on they're last leg...like Rambo!

My missus named hers vicky as the last 3 letters of the numberplate are VEK, although it 'wobbles' round corners - can't work that one out.

XRdodgybird

CRAIG HAYTER
