No. Car ownership is seriously overrated, and economically not worth the hassle unless my job required me to do a lot of travelling, in which case I'd have to make sure that my vehicle had better pay for itself within six months of purchase.
What the car looks like, colour, leg room, top speed, acceleration, BHP and what kind of satnav it has are irrelevant. It's just a fucking car. Not a wife or daughter, or a pet that will trust you and return your affections.
Even if I had a car, I'd refuse to name the flaming thing. It's just a tool. A conveyance. No more.
