    I don't.

    I don't have a name for it either, other than 'the truck'.

    I mean the truck doesn't call me by name. Yet.

    I don't give names to any inanimate objects, nor do I bestow a name to any body parts. Maybe there's a connection there though

    Did you just assume my truck's gender? :angrygirl:








    Seriously though, I'm going with a white and ice blue color theme so my truck is the "Ice Truck".

    My wife refers to both of our vehicles has 'she', but I don't think I have ever used a pronoun other than 'it' for them. She dislikes my motorcycle, so she doesn't talk about it at all...

    Names are for boats. "SS Destroyer of worlds" doesn't sound good on a truck.

    3 Toyota trucks at my house currently. All different colors. When Im reffering to one its by color.
