Red face Pet name for the navigation voice?

I use the female voice and refer to her as "Jane" or "Suzy".

Anyone else do this?

My car's name is Persephone (pronounced purr-sai-fo-knee), so it's her voice.

hehe.

So far no kids. The first one will be "Spoon". No no, just kidding.

So far, my cars have had a Matrix-themed names:

Prelude 2000 - Trinity
RAV4 2001 - Tank
TL 2005 - Persephone

When (not if -- hehe) I get an NSX, it'll be Neo.

And if/when I get an MDX (or RDX) it'll be Morpheus.

Isn't life fun?

I use the lady voice and since she followed me from my 04 Accord...her official name is: "My Bitch" [in an endearing way...]

...it's nice having another "bitch" in the car with me! LOL.

Funny, I call the HFL lady "You fucking bitch" whenever she misunderstands me (sometimes I throw in a certain word that starts with "c" and rhymes with "unt" if she misunderstands me more than once).

Are you saying you can use the female voice for the navi and the male voice for the HFL?

I agree with those above. She tells me what to do, when to do it, and even how to do it = BITCH. Not that I am jaded or anything...

I said this before in another thread but I'll say it again, how could you call 'her' a bitch?

One of the nice things about the TL's navi is that even if you ignore her, make a mistake, or try a different route, it will never get angry, say I told you so, or complain. She will simply continue to offer helpful suggestions...which you can continue to ignore because you know better and never get lost...after awhile though you can decide to quit being so selfish and let her have a turn as well.

LMAO!

I really do try to be as "lady-like" as possible, but I have a few other words for "My Bitch" as well. I use her while in morning or evening traffic while dealing with ALL of the idiots I deal with each day, who apparently received their license off the street corner, because truly - drivers around here suck!

So, say I encounter one of these idiots on the wrong day...and rather that I make an ass out of myself, I just hit the voice activation button and say, "stupid f***ing bitch" or my favorite and simple, "F***ING idiot!!!!" and "My Bitch" will reply, "I'm sorry...I don't understand your command". Then I chuckle. But, damn it felt good to bitch to my bitch and she didn't bitch back! AMEN!

Mine is a form of endearment; I love My Bitch.

Heck, I call my hair stylist my "Hair Bitch" and she loves it! LOL.

My HFL hoe is named "Rhonda".

Funny - whenever I speak sexually explicit, she ends up raising the heat, or changing the radio station.... bitch!

Mine sets the temp to 15, plays Prodigy - Smack that bitch up, and/or places random calls to my ex's whenever I bring 'Another woman' into the car.

This could apply to my post as well—according to the president of the University of Colorado (who is female, BTW), the word "cunt" can be a term of endearment.

A friend of mine who posts on the UVA fans' message boards agrees and said, "Of course it is, just ask my ex-wife."




Besides, even when the HFL misunderstands what I say, I'd still rather be using that than be one of those idiots who drives around with a hand-held cell phone, especially since I have the 6MT.

Betsy, but my wife picked it. I probably would have named her after Marie, my first girlfriend - Oh Marie, where have you been since 1956??

Cell phones - that could be an entirely new post! Every time I'm driving and there is an idiot "not driving the speed limit" in the passing lane - it's inevitable that they're on their cell phone! I used to get road rage on a daily basis so much that my nerves would be a mess by the time I got home (7-mile drive, 1/2 hr ride easily). At one point when I had my Accord it got SO bad, I ended up getting Ativan from my doctor to take before I left work for my ride home! I didn't want to end up a statistic and have some weirdo follow me home to shoot or stab me or something because I got pissy... that situation has often occurred where I live.

My favorite saying (although not ladylike)...
"Get the f***off the phone bitch and find the f***ing gas pedal!!!!!"


...glad I got that out my system!

Vicki.

My wife thinks I am nuts...she loves it when "Vicki" drives me down a road that has been recently updated and I end up a dead end. But then I tell her until she can answer to: "FIND NEARBY FAST FOOD" in the middle of no where "Vicki" is sticking around.

i named my car suzie. i actually took the name from my tsx bc the voice on the navi was the same.

i kind of think the voice is sleezy/sexy and suzie was the first name that popped into mind...sorry if that offends anyone.

i've called her a couple of other things went my clutch went (both times!) ...dumb f***in c**t.

So far it's been "Wench" but it's only been a week and a half - gonna have to come up with a real name soon. FWIW first thing the G/F said when she heard the voice "Of COURSE it's a woman". The G/F will NEVER find out you can switch it to make and the male voice will NEVER be heard in my car lol!

Many of the names are fun, but I think miss the essential nature of the voice and its purpose. We call our female voice Lt. Uhura. She was the communications expert on the original Star Trek and was constantly repeating things over and over and over and over.......
