Simply the Por-shuh! We are pretty unimaginative here - The FJ, The CR-V and the Por-shuh!

Although we did name our Nav systems (Christine - aka female saint christopher, Rhonda - aka help, help me Rhonda).

My wife has named her Mercedes - "Hilda". I've named my motorcycles - Sophia (Ducati) and Hieke (BMW). My Cayman is simple "the Cayman".

Kinda catchy, huh?

Dad burn it. You made me spit coffee all over my keyboard.

Just a reminder. When your wife says, "Do what ever the f#ck you want." She is not giving you permission to go out and buy a new car.

didnt find a good NN for her yet, but noticed that most of you refer to the Cayman as "him" while I had always regarded a car as "her"

I like to call it "little sports car" when talking to people who are not into cars. Kind of keeps people away from knowing that is a Porsche and passing any judgments. Even if I say "Cayman", most don't know what it is and don't ask any more questions.

There was a thread a while back and that was discussed. I refer to mine as a "her" as well, but I remember the majority of members here either thinking names were silly and referring to the car as a him. It had to do with it being a sports car. In the same thread, folks discussed Boxsters being referred to as a "her" because it was a convertible. I have not acquired all of my search skills from master Santa Fe, but I'll post a link to the ol thread if I can find it.
