One thing that has always really bugged me is the expression "my baby". Makes my skin crawl every time I hear people referring to their car as that. Anyone else feel that way?
...gulp...I call mine "White Baby", just like my previous car, Acura RSX. It gets confusing which one I am referring to...lol.

Hehe, that's why you add "II" to the end, so it's "White Baby Mark II"

Yes, but I hesitate because my new White Baby is a much better car (don't let my old White Baby hear that...she will always be my first LOL).
