my EB referred to as the "EBEAST" is a he-she... it sometimes works, it sometimes doesn't, sometimes it has balls, most of the time it doesn't.

i'd say mine's female as its the closest thing to a girlfriend i have right now. and this is why...

she costs me a lot of money.
she makes a lot of noise, all the time, no matter what the situation.
whenever i abuse her she does something to scare me back.
other men want her.
lots of buttons to push but only half work/do something worthwhile.
it's hard to stop her sometimes.
and the best one ... whenever i slide something into her and release the fluid she gets heavier till i kick her in the guts :

But on that line of reasoning, you'd also have to say that you pay other men to service and dress her...

Red face Mr Walker

My Missus named our car Mr Walker after the "Ghost who walks" The Phantom.

It just seemed the right thing to do at the time. Most of my cars have been female, but this bloke seemed to be more manly. Big burly purple beasty.

My Ef Fairmont is a she.

Has a sticker "Mummy's Car" on the rear window, and somehow got the nickname Miss MC.

I love her more than my girlfriend....

My Wasp GT is a 'She' without question. Oddly enough I refer to my other car (Titanium LS Focus Zetec) as a he. Must be the colour, and the fact that it's more handsome than hot.

Mines an BA XR8 ute and is a 'she'. Not sure why, shes blueprint, and such a pretty colour she looks too girly to be a boy.

My last ute was also a girl and called Vixen. The XR doesnt really have a name though.

Before that I had an old EA fairmont I called Monty.

I've actually thought about this before, but couldn't come up with anything to really convince me either way.

Mine is just referred to as sinister.

I suppose I'm leaning more towards male. It's not really a girly car. Not compared to what some of my friends drive...
