I don't name my cars, so I've always wondered: When do you use these names you've given your cars?
When you go out to lunch with co-workers, do you say "Let's go for pizza. I'll drive. We can take Gretchen."
Or do you say to your wife "I'm going to the hardware store. I'll take Helga."
I can't think of a situation where I wouldn't feel silly using a name for a car in conversation.
