This is my first non-tech non-geek post ever. I'm far more comfortable with being a gear head. But I'm about to get my car back after 5.5 weeks, and I really miss driving her (yes, I anthropomorphise my vehicle - don't you?).

So... have you assigned your car a gender? A name?

I thought about gender briefly, but it didn't take long at all to figure that out. She is definitely female with those curves. The name was a bit tougher, though. I finally named her "Diva" because she "sings" that unique Porsche song, she's powerful, not a garage queen (70k miles and counting), and she really wants to be heard. The name immediately stuck. She's been Diva ever since.

My car's name is "car".

I used to call it "the Porsche" at first, as in "we'll be taking the Porsche tonight (pronounced Porsh)."

But now I just call it "the 911" as it's easier to say and, besides, it's more specific.

Sometimes Sally, sometimes, Christine- "she is very possessive-wait is that me?"

997 variants have just been "Porsche", and 987S is simply "Boxster".

"the Diva" - name by my fiance (who is low maintenance) as she finds my behavior regarding my car to be high maintenance

I love that one! ALL fiances are low maintenance,--and when they become married, revert to high maintenance.

"Silver Bullet". Definitely a she. And, she's got more back than J Lo!
