'Pru' (short for Prudence). I couldn't personify something I love with anything other than a girlie name :D
'89 325i - was an SE but not anymore, was bronze-beige metallic (yeuch!) but now techno-violet (thankfully)
'89 Toyota Corolla GTi-16 - track, hillclimb & sprint car (yeeha!)
'08 Buell XB12Ss - American engineering at it's 'best'... good fun though

Sorry, but it's gay to name your car if you are a bloke :gay:

Swearing at it is fine and a non-gay activity :)

Cars arent girls or boys, they are objects. Lumps of metal.

'It' is the only name a car should ever have. Either that or a string of swearwords.

'The Hooligan' is its name - my other car is a rather genteel and laid back cruiser so the hooligan allows me to be exactly that when I need a break from being laid back :wink:

Driving an E30 is very much like making love to a beautiful woman, You have to warm her up, make sure the fluids are up to tempreture, before you ram your gear home and shift regually.
