    How about "Bella Rossa"

    With lots of exaggerated emphasis on the double l's and s'. :). Also, make sure you use hand gestures while saying it.

    How about "the knock a few back mobile"? Translated it means, A vehicle in where one knocks a few back.
    Totally different meaning than "the knock a few up mobile"

    Wife calls my 328 'the Toyota'. Mostly in reference to it as a 'toy'.
    I recommend you select any alterative to this!

    Hey Chris,

    I have already named my daughter Alexandra Sophia and that picture of Sophia Loren is so sweet I will also call my 308 Sophia. Thanks for the inspiration! She was beautiful, wow!

    She is called Isabella, in my view it is a long and hard decision and takes a while to realise what sort of lady she is from living and driving her. Next question is do you write her name on her body and where?

    Owning a GT4 makes life so simple. The car is simply called Dino... :)

    (My plane - a French-designed Jodel is called Josephine though, but she's got a soul, where Dino is just a very nice car)

    :) in this scene, La Lupa's son takes her for a spin on the new Gilera she bought him. She berates him for exhibiting communist sympathies and then gives the classic Italian rude gesture to a Fiat 500 they pass. I am sure her dream would be to have him buy a 308 when he's made a success of his life.

    I stumbled on this & thought it appropriate
    Women more likely to nickname cars

    Women and younger car owners are the most likely to give a nickname and associate a gender to their vehicles', according to a new report from DMEautomotive.

    In fact, the younger the car owner, the more likely they are to give their vehicle a nickname. Forty percent of car owners 18-24 years old give their cars a name; that drops to 30 percent for the 25-34 year-old age group.

    "While these findings, on the surface, are just plain fun...they also offer an interesting, even counter-intuitive perspective on the relationships car owners, especially women and the young generation, develop with their vehicles," said Doug Van Sach, DMEautomotive's vice president for strategy and analytics.

    Perhaps even more surprising is that women are more likely than men to name their vehicles: 23 percent to 18 percent.

    "The accepted cliché is that men have a more passionate, personal relationship with their beloved cars, while women view them as utilitarian machines that get you from Point A to B," Van Sach said.

    "But this research provides a different insight: Women are significantly more likely to christen their vehicles, and also associate a female gender with them, while more men perceive their vehicles as male."

    The big question that remains: What are people naming their cars? The most common names are Baby and Betsy, which account for 4 percent of all the names. Bessie was next at 3 percent, with Black Beauty (2 percent) and Betty (1 percent) rounding out the top five.

    @ClydeM sounds about right. My mental age is about 18 when behind the wheel.
