No, those are the people that talk to their cars.

Who are "they"? I am one of your "they" and I don't.

We have never before named a car until we owned a Matador Red Hybrid Lexus. Because of the
extremely quiet operation while manuvering, my wife adopted "Red October" because Sean Connery's
character Capt. Ramius intones..."Engage the Silent Drive!"

Hey, another Red October fan! I love Connery's Scottish Russian in the movie, that line is more like "The order ish, engage the shilent drive"

Continuing the nautical theme, I call my ES300h "Moby" - it's big like a whale, yet sleek and fast, especially when I turn on the caterpillar...
