Inspiration comes when...You pinch your hand in between the bellhousing and the transmission flange trying to get the damn thing stabbed at 10:30 PM on a 40-degree night.

I use female pronouns for guns, too, but I don't talk to them or name them.

"Don't do this to me baby!"

"There it is!  That's the spot!"

Hmmm... I thought you might have called it the Steelermobile.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

This reminds me of how some people name their genitals.  That is just a bit too too cutesy.  It probably is an attempt to distract participants from the seriousness of joining forces.  

Besides, I consider my genitals an integral part of me and do not look favorably on any body part toying with separate identity.  

Come to think of it, not even sure whether genitals are singular or plural.  Don't much care long as he/she/it/they function as expected.  

Can we spell  thread    h i j a c k   ?     :lol    

Oh all right, the topic:  Although I haven't previously bestowed names on things on me or around the house or area, one exception has emerged in recent years:  the Garvin Nuvi 350, Jill, for our favorite voice on the GPS navigator.

Rip, how is that thing? I was thinking about getting one, I see them all the time. My wife is a die hard Toyota fan (that is all she has ever owned). It took a lot to get her into a Pontiac.

 I see you doing some off roading there, but how does it handle the off road stuff? I have heard mixed reviews. I have been interested in getting one for sometime now. It is a good looking truck.

I've always felt a little strange towards people who give proper names to  their cars.  It's ... awkward to me.   weird

That said, we sometimes refer to the family van as the mommy mobile since it's out only kid hauler.

My work vans I call.... vans.

my pickup is the Dakota.

The vette is.... the vette.  Although Stacy sometimes calls it:  That squealing moneypit.

I always thought naming cars was a chick thing or rather gay.
