Why is it that when most men talk about their cars they always refer to them as a SHE, what's up with that, I could never understand that.

Guys who use the word "she" when talking about their cars are usually mullets anyway, so I wouldn't wonder about it too much. They're a whole different breed of
human . They come from the planet Acidwashjeans, and only here to observe our way of life.

This is actually one of my pet hates.

It's a piece of machinery for goodness sakes! It has no gender.

Mind you, these guys probably refer to their wives/girlfriends as 'it'.

I would seriously doubt it...

People have referred to boats as "she" forever and the car being referred to as "she" has been going on for a long time as well.

There is no strange misogynistic conspiracy here.

Do I call a car "she?" No.

Dude, you are a fucking idiot. You don't even know his name.

BattierBeMyDaddy said:

Fuck you.

IceNine said:

That's not very nice at all.

Tell the engine guy about it, pickle nose!

IceNine said:

Fuck you in the ear. Phaser set to stun.

Icenine, that would be Montgomery Scott, or "Scotty", who was "that engine guy"

As for the whole thing of calling cars, boats, planes etc by a feminine pronoun, it is a long-standing tradition, dating to ancient navel customs. It is actually supposed to be a form of respect for the vehicle, thet you treat it with the love and care that you would a woman. You can take that as you will.

In a related note, the Russian navy always used the male pronoun for their vessels!

Alright, break it up! Break it up!

Mine is called, Black Arracnia(black widow). Black accord on motegi mr8 rims. The spelling of the arracnia comes from two people close to me.

The dissapointing thing for me was that this thread wasn't about that really cool Gary Nueman song!

I don't call her "she", I call her "bitch" for all the money she's taken from me.

M5, huh? Nice car... too bad the sticker price is $70K+. Oh, better put aside some additional money for speeding tickets... the husband of one of my colleagues has an M3, and he's accumulated a nice collection of tickets.

LMFAO.

Thats gotta be the funniest thing I've read on here in ages.

My cars (Mazda MX-5 Miata LS and BMW 325) are special to me. I don't have any children, and in some way, they're kind of like my "kids."

But I never refer to either of them as "she."

The cars are inanimate objects. Each of them is an "it," not a "she." I have also resisted the urge to name my cars... that practice seems especially popular in the Miata enthusiast community.

For me, I find some sort of "beauty" in the interaction between human and machine... a feeling of "oneness." Of all the cars I've ever driven, the Miata has been the best at this. The BMW isn't too bad either, although there are some compromises involved due to the sedan design. (I've never driven one of BMW's Z-series roadsters.)

Oh, I don't call boats "she" either. I also try not to refer to the family boat as "Bessy," the name that somebody slapped upon it many years ago, probably before I was born.

I call my car "she". Or BITCH when something's going wrong. Then "Little Girl" when she's acting nice.

Oh dear.

I've always called my cars "she"

They are sexy and have curves just like a woman!!! To me it's a compliment for the woman to be compared to a sexy car.

Much Love,
