Default What's your car's nickname...and why?

Mine is "The Gray Lady"
Two reasons
  • The car is Magnetic Gray and the Camry, IMHO, is not a hot young kids car, but one that has a mature, sophisticated look.
  • A friend (who at 49 decided to stop coloring her hair) suggested I get the car, so I thought I'd honor her.

I've always name my cars using real people names. My old 4runner was helga because its so butch looking. My murano was Nona. I thought the name is sexy and its suitable for the car. My TCH however was different. It looks like a male but very gentle and caring like a female. So, with its androgenous traits, I had to pick a name that can be both male or female .... Cameron is born.

I name mine after that NAV voice - sounds like an Alice to me. And now that I'm in a HiHy instead of the TCH, I call her Big Alice.

My car is named CAMRHEE. My last name is Rhee, so the name was a no-brainer...

NAV is named Dianne. Why? My friend came up with it on a road trip every time she told us some direction..... Thanks Dianne!

The name stuck.

Is the NAV lady (I don't have it) the same lady as the phone lady?
Or are they two different people?
