Subject:Vehicle Names

As I read the posts on this list, I'm more than a little surprised how many
people have names for their vehicles.  Do people really refer to your
vehicles by name?  For instance, do you say things like: "Let's take Pinky
to the hardware store"?

It just seems kind of odd to me.  I've been in the VW scene since the 70's
and I can't remember anyone referring to the vehicle by name, unless it was
a derogatory name, like:  "We can take my POS".

I have to admit that I've named a few vehicles... there's the Red Turd, and
the Blue Turd (see derogatory comment above), but that's about it.  Hell...
I had a cat for 12 years that I only called Cat.

Just curious...

Cheers,

Jeff
