I always name my car. My current one is Bambi. The name always has to begin with the first letter of the brand and it has to be female, because I'm doing the riding. 
I used to drive Brandi (E36), and I still have Barbie (E46).
Does anybody else name their car and do you have a naming process, or am I the only nut on this board?

My friend who had a black E36 M3 called his car "The BatMobile"...

I'm very happy to report that today Bambi was able to keep up with a late model Carrera and drew a thumbs up from the other driver (at least I think it was his thumb
). Sweeet!!!! Does anybody know at what speed the limiter kicks in on a 2006, 525XI?

If I had a 545, I would probably call it Bertha. Sounds pretty aggressive and big to me.

My sister named her 530 Birgitta but I just call mine "The 5". As in (to my husband) "If you think you're taking The 5 today you're delusional, honey. Touch the key to my jewel again and you will lose yours."
