Unfortunately I don't think this forum is a suitable place to mention it!
Have you named your car?

Please help me understand why people call inanimate objects personal names as I really do not understand! A car is a car it will be the "the car" or the "effin car" if it is not working! I can understand puggy as that is shorter and easier to say peugeot (partner has a puggy)

Our current car is "That Rattly Creaky Piece of S**t, I Told You We Shouldn't Buy It". I'm not sure if that's anthropomorphised, or simply proving your point

I don't understand why people would give affectionate names to their car either. Did you ever see the Louis Theroux program about "car lovers" in America? There were people literally having a fluid exchanging relationship with theirs and other people's cars.

A friend of my daughter (9) went into the ID.3 for the first time last week and saw the blue light doing its thing, came out amazed saying "This car has a blue light that flashes when you open the door - it is literally from the future."
Our ID.3 is now referred to as 'The car from the future'
All the best
