I called my first car Hayley only because it was covered in hail damage. But for some reason I'm in the habit of calling my new ute hayley as well so I guess I'm in the same boat as you. The previous owner told me that she called the car princess
 but i can't bring myself to call it that.

* My XA is called Sherman as in Sherman tank.
* The Mini is called Borris the Morris. * The Pulsar is called the ATM machine because it has ATM on the number plates and is costing me and arm and a leg. |

The utes usually "You ********** piece of ******" or "The big blue *****".
Or just "The Ute". Not too imaginative ay but they work. Just dont call it a guys name whatever you do. Was watching Dukes of Hazard last weekend and it sounds rather strange when they start calling a car he/him/whatever.

Well the XR8 was frist called Silver Bullet when i brought it, but than the g/f renamed to Xtra Rare & she named the Lazer, Larry. Larry can be a grils name so i let it go & toll her that all my cars are girls.
