What do you call your Fit?
#10
men typically do not name their cars. unless it's a particularly laughable and descriptive name like "old smokey" or something like that. women give their cars names like "janice" and "harvey" and stuff. as if it were a person rather than a sophisticated, dependable tool.
On this topic, sometimes my wife will mention that the car is doing something as if controlled by some internal motivation. "She's really bouncing around on the highway today!" Ummmm ... you're the one giving it commands through the steering wheel, hon. Or (in a previous car), "I don't feel confident that the car is going to do what I want." ... It does exactly what you tell it to do!
Interesting gender difference, there. n=1

It's been christened "Spaceship" by wife and friends. Alternatively "mini-spaceship" since the origin of the name came from my Element and carried on to the Fit.
i.e
Wife: "Are we taking my car or the spaceship?"
I accept that.
I do not call it anything when I walk up to it, like "good morning Jimbo".

I wish I had the orange revolution metallic fit.
But there's always been a running joke with me and my friends.
Since I'm asian I always (jokingly) called all my cars General Li for the fun of it.
then one of my favorite asian skaters released this graphic for his skate deck. Quite offensive but I'm proud enough of my culture to poke fun at it from time to time.
