Default He or She

Is your car a He or a She... and what car is it?

In car terms, what would be the difference?

When she's doing the right thing, the XB's my baby. Gets the sweet talk and everything.

When it's playing up, it's so many things I could never call a lady.

But still, I think it's a she.

...

Even if she is packing a mighty set of balls.

I always refer to mine as a she.

Although it's no chick car. :nutsycuck

For some reason people like associating their cars with women. Probably they're like a woman and cost alot of money. :

A nurse at work says that cars should be named after men, because both are unreliable.

Mines a she, named Imogen by one of the other nurses and her husband at work. Darn name has stuck now. :

Mine is a car too, I've never quite got into that whole French thing of calling an object she or he but some of my friends call my car Tes or Tessa which is a girls name I guess & my last car was Mr Juicy so I guess it was it was male. It certainly had balls but it could be a real b&%$# too. :P

I say a 'he' because I can tell it what to do and there is no chance in hell he would dare question it!

My Fiancee says it is a 'he' because blokes work well together, a female would just want to cause problems.

(I SHOULD kick his a$$ for that comment!)

Also, its a ute, and its exhaust can be as loud as a male rear end.

My cars a 'she', I don't know how I feel getting into a 'he'.
No name for the LTD, the obvious is 'Black Betty' but radio killed that name. 'Black Pearl' is my preferred name. Reference to the movie (Pirates of the Caribean) and the Ford colour she is.

Mine's definately a she. A few years ago, I named her Kylie. She's getting old but she still looks good! Maybe it's just coincidence then that Kylie Minogue got cancer, while my Kylie, did the head gasket, steering rack, suspension bushes, ....

Hey, do you know that Kylie is Aboriginal for Bent Stick or Boomerang. It freaks Kylies out when you let them know, because most parents don't know this either.
It's great fun letting them know.......
