I haven't given my car a name, but like Beppe, I do talk to it. Especially praise when it has done more than could have been expected of it (such as our trip this summer, it never complained once during the ascent and descent of those mountain peaks, while (as I found out back home) the radiator was apparently leaking). I also give it the best care I can give, going to a quality workshop for its regular maintenance and always checking if something broke down (it's past its 10th birthday, so getting middle-aged).
It's my first car and I still feel proud when I see it standing on a parkinglot...
