Introducing Sophia!
 

She's gorgeous, congratulations!

Pretty Woman! Congratulations!

That car would look fabulous in my driveway.:D

Thanks! She is so sexy and fun to drive! ZOOM, ZOOM!

Is that Sophia in the hat?

Nice ride!

Beautiful!

Mazda's are so fun to drive. Zoom Zoom Zoom.


Congratulations!

Nice!! Can I have it?

Woo... that's worthy of the Tawny Kitane treatment

SWEET ride!

Congrats! I like the color! Hope Sophia does not attract any flyby birds while it's still shiny and new.

drooool.

Very nice.

Pretty! Shiny!

Gorgeous!

We need to post a picture with the hardtop up.

Not Sophia, but how she looks with the top up:



I also found this one; showing how the top works:

???

I hope you don't mean getting hammered with Tawny's stiletto heel!

I hope she doesn't mean getting loaded with sleeping pills and alcohol, either.

Awesome!
:)

Now that's a beautiful ride!

Well, while she is beautiful, Tawny can be a bit unpredictable.

nice!

I have to say, I love the lighter shades of leather upholstery.

Ah.....no. I don't think so. There will be NO Tawny Kitaen splaying herself across the hood of MY car!

Now Grant Bowler or Gerard Butler.....that would be a MUCH better story!

This is closer to what I had in mind:

Ooooo...shiny!

(I just meant it as a compliment to the car)

And you're welcome to have Gerard Butler splay himself across the car... as long as I get to watch :)

It looks like Gerard Butler is splattering blood all over your new car. I'm not cleaning that up.

Yes, last night right after I posted my bad Photoshop, I realized it looked like I was gleefully running over poor Gerard's toes, but hey, I was tired at the time and ready for bed.

No worries about cleaning it up. I'd gladly lick all that up off Gerard's Spartan body. :)

You're weird.

Now if anybody asks what color your car is, you can say "Gerard Butler's Spartan Blood Red" :D

Oh, BTW, you are REQUIRED to bring your car to the cocktail party so we can all test drive it. ;)

Good luck with that one... He won't even let me drive it!

Love the new shiny! Congrats! :)

Miatas are great cars. That one looks terrific!

You haven't asked.

They truly are and that's the reason the Miata has been the best selling roadster for the past 20 years. It's the best car I've driven in my life. (Sorry if I sound like a saleman, but I'm just being honest).

The car's center of gravity is where the driver sits which gives it 50/50 weight distribution. This gives them superior handling abiltiy and stability. The engineers weigh every internal part, then shave off grams of material in order to make it super lightweight.

Simply put, they are a joy to drive.

Best.Midlife.Crisis.Car.Ever! :p

I thought naming machinery after women was the pastime of lonely straight men...

I did... Not that you pay any attention to what I saw anyway. :rolleyes:

Oh, trust me... Gay men do it to!

So - riddle me this. Why do cars get girl names?

If straight men name their cars after women - I would have supposed that gay men would name their car after some hunky guy. or does it have more to do with the curves reflecting a woman's curves?

I guess it has something to do with ships being "she"s. It carries over to other forms of transportation too.

Traditionally, straight men, alone at sea, or on tractors all day, or sweating under cars, name their machinery after women. They carve mermaids on the bow and paint bombshells on their planes. They say "c'mon baby" while trying to get the machinery to purr. It makes sense.

I've never felt that machines were females to me. To me, cars don't purr, they growl, they roar. The smells of grease and exhaust, and the power and muscle concepts evoke masculinity in my mind. It's sexy, but for different reasons. I translate it into something sexy for me - which again, makes sense.

I'm surprised to hear of gay men that see their sexy cars as female. Interesting.

My first car, Bwanna Devil, was a boy

I work alone. My computers and various legal databases typically bear the gender neutral name "You f*cking piece of sh*t!"

I have a pretty white Mixmaster that will take your arm off. Boy or girl?

I called my Subaru Justy "Justine." It could not have been otherwise. Same with a Miata. The Dukes of Hazzard called their Dodge Charger "The General Lee." That, too, fits.

"Mangler" is a unisex name...



Dig. I'm sure if I owned slinky Corvette or a Viper I'd be thinking of female names to match the curves.
