The guys in Queen City Corvair Corvair Club, in Charlotte, are well- 
known for naming their Corvairs. Many knew Richard Jenkins' Greenbrier  
as "PAPAJ", I think it was, until he sold it to Billy Bruce. Richard's  
"new" sedan is "SALLY".

I've never named mine, except for putting it's vanity plate on it,  
"67AC140".

The only other times I call "her" by name, might be during an  
autocross, when there's just a couple more cones, or when coming home  
from a long drive, probably late at night, hoping she'll get me home  
one more time. At those times I might think out loud something like,  
"Come on baby...". She always comes through.
