Okay Gavin, you bring up a good point; What we CALL
our cars versus giving them NAMES.  Neither Nancy or I
name our cars.  Here's what we call them.  (Remember,
I'm the guy who calls the family cat "cat" and the dog
"dog".)

The '08 M-B C300 is called, "my car" by me, "your car"
by Nancy, my wife.  Some times I call it "my daily
driver" when talking to others.

The '03 L-R DII is called, "the truck" or "the Rover"
by me, "the truck" by my wife.

The '96 BMW 740iL is called, "Allen's car" by Nancy
and me.

The '79 Ferrari 308GTB is called, "the Ferrari", "the
308", "the GTB" or "the silver car" by me, "the
Ferrari" by my wife.

The '70 MGB Tourer is called, "the MGB" by me, "the
MG" by Nancy.

Yea, we're pretty boring...
