It's very good to talk to your cars.  It most definitely has an affect of
making them feel appreciated and cared about, and they will return more
'faith' from just talking to them.
Perfect name too, for 'a large German girl.'

oh yeah.........one friend - his 83 Adventurewagon .......is named Hula
Girl.  And there's a wiggly grass-skirted hula thing on the dash too.
His other , very brown, 'homeless' ( it's for sale too, cheap ) 84 GL is
named Bruinhilda.
  I might call it Brownhilda though.
all fun !
