Default Did you name your tC?

I've always named all my cars. My tC is 'Charlotte'. Don't tell me I'm the only one....

:-p Great. I'm the only one. My first car was Katie. My second was Amie. My third was Ashleigh. And now my tC is Charlotte. Am I THAT much of a car nerd? I guess it shows you just how much my car is my baby.

Theirs no problem in liking/caring for your car a lot....but actually giving it a name.....thats just going overboard , don't you think so?

Statistics have shown that vehicles referred to as females or given female names generally last longer than cars referred to as "him" or with a guy name.

On the other hand, my tC is just "baby", or "girl", as is my truck. The truck is running strong after 6 model years and 104,500 on the engine...

The tC doesn't have a name.

My Dodge, however, was Juliette.

Long story.

naming cars is, in no way, weird.

My cars name is Tina....Tina the tC
My sisters...Eduardo the Eclipse
Other sisters...Eddie the Eagle Talon
My friends...Maggie the Mustang
Other Friend's...Rebecca the Ranger

I even name my radar...her name is Betty, she warns me if Po Po's or emergency vehicles are nearby

Betty "KA ALERT"
Me: "Thanks Betty"
Betty: "EMERGENCY VEHICLE APPROACHING"
Me: "Yes Betty, i see it...thanks though"

(ok, as far as the radar thing....dont ask)

2TONES STOLLEN tC~

Its actually my husbands car, his nick name in the military was 2Tone... Anyways, I take the tC often and bring it back modified one way or another! 1st time it was stollen, it came back with window tint, 2nd - fender flares, 3rd - clear bra, 4th - TRD lowering springs, 5th TYC tail lights . hmm thinking of what i can do next time ????

But then I am always taking it to shows and meets all over FL.. I get grounded from it often, so I then have to take "Ready", the Red Tacoma....

I see nothing wrong in naming your car. These are my cars and their names. (as for johnny_boy and the whole radar thing that might be a little excessive. lol j/k)
My 1996 Grand Prix is 'Lola'
MY 2001 Ranger is 'Cassandra'
My 2006 tC is 'Ericka'

I always think of that rifle speech that the drill sargeant from Full Metal Jacket gave to his troops.

Something along the lines of "you will give your rifle a woman's name. BECAUSE THIS IS THE ONLY PU**Y YOU WILL BE GETTING FOR THE DURATION OF CAMP. YOUR DAYS OF FINGER BA**GING MARYJANE ROTTENCROTCH, THROUGH HER PRETTY PINK PANTIES ARE OVER!"

I guess that's true. Since the demise of my last relationship last month, the only women in my life are my cat and my car. :-p
As for the avatar, I also have green 1-Up fuzzy dice hanging from my rearview. w00t!
