According to a survey by the GM Buy Power Card, 42 percent of Americans name their vehicles. That's not surprising considering that the car you drive is a reflection of your personality.

Naming a vehicle takes a little time behind the wheel though, and 43 percent of drivers said they wait at least a month before choosing a name for their car. Once a name is chosen, nearly three-quarters (73 percent) of respondents said that naming the car made the bond they felt with their vehicle stronger.

Other factoids from the survey include:

• Women were 7 percent more likely than men to name their cars

• About 55 percent of cars identify as female according to owners

• That makes Betsy and Betty the most popular car names

• 82 percent of those drivers said they share that name freely with family and friends

• 56 percent said car personality, make and model, and color influence a vehicle’s name

• 78 percent of drivers say they know someone else who has named their car

• Silver is the most popular car color
