A girl I was recently seeing from a foreign country couldn't pronounce the S-H
sound and would refer to my "fancy" car as the Porch.
I had to tell her I couldn't see her anymore.

I don't think thats abnormal for someone to name their car if they are attached to it. I say, naming a car is not as bad as when people named "pet rocks"

My first car, a Rambler, was named "Ernie" by my friends and it just stuck. The license plate ended -ERN . The name seemed to just fit the car... and no car with the same tags on it have held the name since.

The Boxster has a vanity plate and some people refer to it by the name on the plate, but not me. It is always just "the Boxster" or "the fun car".
