Default Is This A "Guy Thing"?

My wife and my friend's wife say it is, but I'll take this "to the panel".
I've tried to explain to my wife (and my friend's wife - as he tried too) that a "car guy" (or car gal) has a "relationship" with our cars.... well at least the ones we're most proud of owning.
Guys tend to "name" their cars, and they're usually women's names. I'm honestly not sure about the female rebuttal to this since I've only known a few women who "knew their way around a car" well enough to service, repair and modify them without assistance.

My friend named his '05 GT Mustang "Lucille" the day he picked her up from the dealership. I've named a handful of my cars in the past as well. Another friend named his BMW motorcycle "Emma". He rode her everyday, everywhere, regardless of the weather.

Are we crazy? Is anyone else here suffering from the same affliction?

Along the same lines: When you take delivery,
"What will you name your Challenger?"
