WHY CALL A CAR A SHE?

[phill]

YOUR CAR IS NOT A GIRL, ITS A CAR...WHY WOULD YOU CALL A CAR A SHE?

[SwirlyE30]

lol, think its to do with such things as boats, planes getting the title she for being 'beautifull' things, or at least when they were first out. So its stuck with cars as well i imagen.


Planes alwayshave women on them, espeically later ones, so theirs always been that element of having a womens name on mechanical things lol.


Car, women.....i know what id rather have.......




























Car

[Simon13]

taking "him" out for a good thrash / hiding sounds a bit gay innit? but if u take her out for one u are a hero!

fair play si that statement is pure quality

[johnono]

call it a she if u want,

i suppose the same can be said for a ship or a plane or a train (apart from the flying scotsman )

dont know why they do it, but they do

i do it coz i have a sense of affection for it/her/the car...

if u dont then fair enuff

[craigieeb]

If you call your car a "He" the following terms become homosexual....

"I'm off to fiddle with the car"

"I love getting the backend out"

"I want mine with leather"

"My car needs some new rubbers"

"She's a stunner" would have to change too,"Doesn't he look butch?"

"The nuts are stiff on my car"

It would be embarrasing talking about "nipples"

Polishing the knob will take on a different meaning!

Perhaps I shouldn't mention " I put my finger through rusty brown holes" or for those unfortunate owners "I put my fist through a rusty brown hole on my car"

I rest my case.........

Keep 'em female

[nav786]

jesus speaks!!! Amen

Cars/boats/planes are all "shes" cos they carry people, women carry babys when there pregnant and it stems from that.
I do remember sopmething from history class

[Wyldie]

It's all to do with the carrying, expecting mothers carry the baby, cars carry passengers, hence she.

Yep! Rog strikes again. Nice to have him back, innit??

Cool! I always thought cars were called "she" because the can be so tempramental/menstrual/awkward/bloody-minded......... Need I continue?? I.e - just like women.

[Geeman]

All my cars have been female... apart from one. My Mk2 Golf. He was called Rolf. He was ace. He was a little black 1.3 4-speed motor with a character all of his own. My girlfriend at the time loved him. Obviously not more than me. He then turned into a left-hand drive 320iS which she wasn't happy about.

[psychochild187]

so if they made f1 cars into men then they would go even faster and last longer and stop faster and just BE BETTER!

[phill]

I agree and understand with you all. cars are girls !!

[Zayyan]

I don't know how you can give an E30 a girl's name?

Just look at the front of it, it looks like it's ready to rip out your internal organs with its bare hands

You won't find a woman as mean as that!

Which is why mine has a bloke's name

Pretty much any other car would have a girl's name though, exceptions being other aggresive looking motors like the E28 5-series.....

[johnono]

dude, u should meet my missus

[Zayyan]

Maybe there are a couple of exceptions then

[Dominitry]

I always thought cars were female because they cost a fooking fortune!

[Zayyan]

That's a good one

[Davenotouring]

That sounds about right.

mate calls his 5 shark

[Zayyan]

How original

At least it's an "aggresive" name rather than calling it Sophie or something though

[StuBeeDoo]

You've never met my ex-wife then!!

[hogweed]

...just as somebody once said about wimmin, the pleasure is momentary, the position ridiculous, and the expense damnable...

I read the comments about not giving your car a male name because of homosexual connotations with great amusement. I am homosexual and my car (325i touring) has a female name (Marlene).

[Geeman]

Any reason why you called it Marlene...?

[rmt]

I wanted a female name with germanic conotations. The car is both glamorous and dangerous, brilliant red reminds me of lipstick and the big six could get me in big trouble. Marlene Dietrich was glamorous and had a hint of danger about her so I hought it fitted.

Well matey,if you are then all my above mentioned comments become null and void
I forgot we may have gay owners,oh well,even the Lords not perfect all the time
