I have usually called most everything I've owned a bitch, if that counts

CB750F is Courtney Love. VR-4 is The Jade Grenade
Most of my vehicle names are non-gender specific. The 4x4 Dakota (which was, in fact, red) was "Big Red", The Prelude was "The 'Lude", the Celica is "The 'Celi" and the Astro Van is "The Disastro". We just call the Mazda 3 "The 3". All of them get called "Baby" or "Bitch" depending on what they are or are not doing at that particular juncture.
I love how we have taken over this particular canoe and turned it into a legitimate thread. 
Serenity, she is just like the ship, parts randomly fall off, she is often one step away from complete. failure, but I wouldn't trade her for the world. And she often has me reciting the serenity prayer.
The Jensen is Casper because he was a ghost when I first got him. Yes, even my ex agreed he's a he. The race car is the Jensenator or %#(&^$#@!)(&^%*$#%$ depending on what non sorted thing I need to fool with. The Trooper is named Tucker, my daughter hung that one on him. The tracker doesn't have a name yet, but one will come to me eventually. The WR400 was called the Roaring Blueberry at times. I had a purple and white XR600 called the Grape Ape.
I had a car get named "Devilbunny" for a long and convoluted reason.
The song of the same name figured in for about half of it, though.
My red car is called "the red car". My Camaro is called "the Camaro". My stock car is called "the stock car."
I've been accused of lacking imagination....

Okay, first of all, I love the MG. But while taking in all the details, something in the background caught my eye: Is that an early RX-7 painted up to look like Eddie Van Halen's guitar?

yes...but what you are missing in that shot is the hood. It is decorated with scantily clad women holding swords while battling giant snakes (hence the snake skin side mirrors). I almost expected to see it parked next to a cartoon astronaught driving a corvette...

I have called my Yamaha R5, "Stiflers Mom" since I first spotted it.
My tow van is called the Big White Beast courtesy of the kids. The Trazda Abomination was named when I bought it from Curmudgeon. It fits, it stays. The Roadmaster and the RX-7 don't have names, but I was considering calling them Pinky and The Brain. The Roadmaster is big and a little goofy, the RX-7 is small and has an evil streak.
As far as the grown a$$ed men comment, I hope I never feel that old. 
44 is coming up Monday. 
44 is not old. Just sayin...

Just on some mornings. 
Age is a state of mind. So far, I don't mind.

Phew! I thought I was old there for a minute...
Cars are female, trucks are male, SUV's are like a girly man, CUV's are like a manly woman, and things like the honda ridgeline are transvestites.
Boats are ALWAYS women, and there are rules about naming boats!
We have 5 P71s so naming them is important. 3 came prenamed by the police department, Patches (peeling paint), Gladys..not sure why, and Pig Car due to a brave tagger one night.
Brother had a truck named Old Yeller...irony sucks!
Bruce
Victor.
Victor Yugo.
AKA "The Yugo from Hell". I tried to rename this car to "The Yugo from Beyond" (seemed more family friendly), but couldn't. The name was too well affixed by the previous owner.
For some reason, the PO named the Civic Fred.
My Spitfire is that rusty old b!$ch.
I call the RX-8, "my car" or "the RX-8." I can't say the RC51's name; I can only go "unf unf."
Most of my VWs that I've used competitively have had names using "Clyde" in there somewhere. There's been Clyde, Bionic Clyde, Millennium Clyde, Darth Clyde, Obi-Clyde-Kenobi, and currently RaceClyde. The Clyde part the result of a little stuffed bunny my ex-wife gave me and always gets strapped into the car at the track. It's Bugs Bunny's nephew from the cartoon.
We also have in the driveway Sasha the Stingray, Maxwell the smart, and Moby2 the greyt white Greyhound bus (Jetta wagon).
I call my Rabbit "Roger". I'm gonna put the name "Jessica" on the passenger door.
In reply to SVreX:
The last time I referenced that movie, I was informed I was "dating" myself. Funny though.
I'm not cheap enough to date myself!
