Chip was so dirty! Now he's clean!

Chip is cool...
First of all, let me say Chip looks good - that's pretty much the same set-up I've ordered - so it's like previewing how good my IS will look like
And, name wise, I think a car being named a girl has never made sense to me - I have room for real girls to love - my wife and my newborn girl (1 month old)...
According to that survey AP/AOL Autos did (http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/...se-cars_x.htm), cars receive a female name by a ratio of 3 to 1...so it's tilted in favor of female names...
Me, it's almost like my car is my trusty horse, my buddy that won't let me down, so I give it a masculine name so that when we ride into battle (freeways in Los Angeles or some hard curves in the canyons)...I know it's not going to let me down or lose grip cause it's a badass. My IS300 right now is "Romulus"...my IS350 I haven't decided yet, but I'm thinking Leonidas (kick-*** Spartan warrior), or "the edge" as "bono" just didn't sound right (I like U2)...heck, I even thought about calling him "ringo" because of that dopey happy face the IS has when looked at head on....

Okay I guess I should clarify.
I am a girl. And because I know it annoys men, well.. haha I did it anyway. All my friend guys say they feel *gay* riding in Chip. LOL, and I'm sorry if that offended..!
There is a reason why I named my car Chip. The first week I got the car, I got behind a semi, it kicked up a rock and knicked my hood. At least my name has roots! :P

Very thorough cleaning - lots of attention to detail. You even seemed to clean around your emblems. It's the little things that make a car stand out, and yours looks amazing.

Thanks for all the nice comments guys! Unfortunately the car's name will remain Chip. Or if it makes you guys feel better you can call him Chipina? But not in front of him, might hurt his feelings.. don't need him breaking down on me.
And very funny Javy!!!!!
