Being a bit strange, most of our vehicles have always had both names and gender. We presently have 3 guys and 3 girls in the family. Christine, Tina, and
Vibora are girls.
- Christine: a Dakota Sport 4x4 named after the obsessive, murdering lead character (a 1958 Plymouth Fury) in a Stephen King story and movie of the same name.
- The Jeep: my wife's vehicle, a Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland [My wife's name is also Christine, so she should probably be driving the truck. Perhaps she's reluctant to do so because in the story the car Christine tried to kill the owner's girl friend out of jealousy]
- Tina: a Prius named after the psychotic doll "Talky Tina" in the 1963 Twilight Zone episode "Living Doll" [Yes, Tina has a voice command system and like the doll defies my every command but responds to my wife just fine.]
- The Blue Thing (as sarcastically named by my wife when I brought him home) or Sidewinder (as named by my son after a couple of spectacular on-track spin-outs): a Dodge Viper GTS race car
- Vibora: a Dodge Viper SRT10 (the name is Spanish for Viper.)
- Little Cobra: our baby boy, unimaginatively named after the Rip Chords' 1964 song, "Hey Little Cobra"
