Is there a name for your car? Do you frequently converse with it or even feel bad about operating a different car? If so, you’re not by yourself.
For Americans, an automobile is much more than just a means of transportation. According to a recent survey, 60% of drivers view their vehicles as complete family members, and almost as many owners formally name their four-wheeled companions.
How does the naming procedure work? According to the results, 42% of them derive their names from a distinguishing characteristic, such as the color or sound they produce. Other sources of name inspiration include renowned automobiles and celebrities (17 percent) or films, TV series, and songs (20 percent).
OnePoll conducted the poll of 2,000 drivers in the United States on behalf of Toco Warranty, a firm that aims to maintain the relationship between drivers and their vehicles for as long as possible.
It should come as no surprise that 40% of us converse with our cars on a regular basis. For 63% of automobile owners, the main topic of conversation is how to get the car to drive quicker or climb a hill.
More than one-third of automobile owners believe their vehicle is “fun,” and half say their vehicle has a “trustworthy” attitude. According to 22% of respondents, their car is “charming.”
But more than anything else, the vehicle’s dependability—along with the enduring memories—solidified its bonds with a family’s heart.
The average automobile owner claims to have had three amorous encounters and spends more than two nights in their vehicle outside of vacations.
