My wife named my car. Im not into the whole naming thing, ive never called my car anything but the festiva but she still has her name for it- it was just kinda funny how it happened.*
We were dating at the time and i was driving with her in the car doing about 110km/hr down a wet gravel road. She insisted on naming my car and was coming up with all different names to see if i would like one-with me saying no to each one. Then I hit a really long puddle that was deeper than i expected and got these huge walls of brown water on each side of the car. Sounded like it was going to come through the floorboards too. She said 'im naming it Moses because it, like, just parted a sea and made a wall of water on each side.'
So thats what she calls it.*
I was just happy i kept the car mostly in a straight line... :p
My car's name is L. It already had the name when I got it. I actually talk to it sometimes, things like: L, let's get going; L, I'm not going to put up with that; L, I hope we make it; L, that was close - lots of things really.
When I'm good I'm very, very good and when I'm bad I'm HORRID.

Mine was dubbed "Mistress" ..... By my Wife... I think it fits pretty well actually. She has never named any of my other projects,and there have been quite a few, other than my Festiva. It's actually the only one she has suggested that I keep.
