'My car', 'the E30', 'the BMW'
...or variations on the above! Give a car a name, and you are a girl.
(& yes both my cars have names, according to / thanks to the girlfriend. Damnit!)

Nothing wrong with calling a car she/her, kind of a given...ive always been told cars are feminine, as are ships and planes.

Just because they go wrong monthly and require constant maintenance and money throwing at them doesn't make them female

If you've given your car a name, odds are you also use the ashtray to put your testicles in when you drive it. No man gives his car a name.
I can understand refering to machines as she, because they're all attention-seeking tempremental high-maintenance objects, and I wouldn't want to tempt fate by disrespecting a 25-year-old one tonne German. But giving it a personal name, and then telling the whole damn internet, that's for eunuchs.

ha ha dead funny this post

my cars have names not because i want to humanise them, make them soft and cuddly or give them a gender, just as a term of reference. and if i can make that term mildly amuzing by making the name a bit daft then all the better.
despite having 'names' my cars are most definatly still 'its'
