Bear in mind that there are distinct personalities among vehicles - male or female.
My 87 I called "Clyde" - originally after the camel in Ray Stevens' "Ahab the Arab." After all, "there wasn't nuthin' that could keep up with Clyde once he got started."
My 88 is "Beck" - after COL Charles A. Beckwith, USA (ret) (dec), founder of SFOD-DELTA ("Delta Force.") Beck was one of those guys that could have anything tossed his way, and he'd take it and keep going. Even after the Desert One fiasco (where the Pentagod hung him out to dry,) Beckwith came back stronger and finished his career.
My wife calls her 89 "Bonnie" - but I've never been sure why. I think it goes nicely with "Clyde," and she keeps blaming this on me. Why, I don't know, I didn't do it.
My XJ's didn't get names until I'd driven them about for a while, and they told me themselves. Pretty much everything major has a name now (my computer is Lareth, we each have a GPS in the XJ - hers is "George" and mine is "Otto," you start to get the idea...)
