If they made it illegal to name your car after a girl, no one would name their car again.

It's not about the car. It's about you.

Who names their car Burt or George or Ralph? That may tell you something about why men feel compelled to name their cars after women.

without trying to sound sexist here.. it would be my opinion that men name their car after women as cars and women share a lot in common from the perspective of a man, both good and bad. These functions can include but are not limited to:

costly repairs
temperament from mistreatment
high maintenance costs

but at the same time the positive functions they share in common can include but are not limited to:

somewhere to blow all your money and feel good about it
acquisition of sexual arousal
companionship
ability to show off what hotness you're sportin

once again.. just an opinion!

I don't own that babe.

I own a car, just like I own a computer and a TV and a dishwasher. I don't name them either.

I have one question for guys here...if you name your car, and you are sitting around the local bar watching football and having one one with your drinking buddies, do you really tell the name of your car?


I just don't see a guy saying, "well, it's time I and (insert name here) get going "

That's because it's rude to say "I and my friend." It should be "My friend and I are "

Default OPTIMA Presents Corvette of the Week: Red Hot



This week, forum member “FYREANT” posted the topic “What did you nickname your new C7 Stingray?” A lot of folks posted great replies in the thread, but the response that really caught my eye was this one from “Whataguy“.

More on the blog.

Well since I am an AUBURN fan, my NRB is nicknamed the WAR EAGLE. It will be sporting orange vinyl for a 3500 mile road rally I will be running this summer.

a guy at a gas station asked me if I had spent the day chasing the Joker--I thought maybe he was crazy, then I figured it out so we've named it the Batmobile.

Black Z51, dark tint, lowered and it looks like the Batmobile...
