I always named my cars, and considered them part of the family...kind of like a motorized pet or something.
With that, I present a brief family history:
Snowball / Bessie ~ 1999 - 2002
This was such a cool car to have as a teenager - I loved it like a precious little baby... until it died a horrible death by throwing a rod through it's own engine (no one told me I had to get the oil changed on a regular basis???)
Zippy ~ 2002 - 2005
Zippy was sweet little car... but I had a bit more need for speed :) At one point, Jen, Steph, Tshirts & Tiara's and I all had the same car - just in different colors!
Zippy is now living a gentle life of retirement with my Dad, who washes her regularly and never exceeds 40 mph :)
late 2005 - 2006 ~ Brief Interlude in Vehicle Ownership
I sold cars for Infiniti for about a year, and drove a company demo...the red sedan had a permanent rattle, the white sedan that I hated, the silver coupe that was super-dangerous because I exceeded the speed limit on a regular basis... you get the point :)
The Silver Bullet / Speedy ~ 2006 - 2009
Leased when I left Infiniti, this was definitely the nicest car I'd ever owned... and I loved the heck out of it!
However... SB/Speedy is being turned in this morning to make room for the newest member of our family...
Introducing..... the car that doesn't have a name yet :)
Yay, thanks Newlywed Husband, for getting me a car with navigation (for the new j-o-b)!!! And in black - so chic!
I need your help in deciding a name - and keep in mind that all my cars are girls - I've never had a boy car and don't intend to :)

The Sex Machine? Haha. It's a nice car. :) Congrats!
I love it!! I have named all of my cars too! *They were all girls with the exception of the one "gay" car named Melvin - yep my sorority sister came up with that one!*
I will put my thinking cap on and let you know what I come up with! And congrats - she is gorgeous!
So is this the new family memeber?
Love the car! But I am not very good at thinking of names...in my family the names are always based off of the colors...i.e. my car is little red
I was going to say Valentino but you said it had to be a girl, so Valentina!!!
Or Tina for short! I like Tina! :)
Ohh, loves it. All my cars (not my truck) have been girls. How about Gina? That was the name I intended for my new car--but, since it's been over a year since the "new car discussion" and I still don't have one, the name has yet to be used...
SEXY! LOVES IT!
I've had two of your same vehicles!! The Infiniti being my most recent prior to the purchase of our Yukon :)
Glad we share car tendencies, ha!
I love your blog and love seeing other women in the automotive industry (even if it is a big shaky right now). It is a great industry for women! Keep up the great blogging.
I am horrible at coming up with car names, but since it is super stylish, perhaps Stylista!
It's so funny that all your cars are girls and mine have all been boys. Except the one I drive now. I really do miss Bessy, pretty sure I drove it almost as often as you did. :) I vote for Black Beauty. :) unless that's too "country" for ya. Ohh.. I just read Jen's and I like her idea!
