Maybe I am just bored... but I thought this might be interesting.

A lot of people refer to there cars as a "her" or a "him". A lot of people even have names for there cars. (I know of a blue EDXR6 called Henrietta)

Some people call there car a "her" when its not working, and a "him" when its going great (or vice versa)

What is your car????

Hmmm good thread i reckon, i generally refer to my car as my baby but when someone say askes me how it goes etc, i generally say something on the lines of she's blah blah blah.....

So yeah i guess i refer to my car as a she being a girl.

Hmmmm, can it be a fruit?? I think mine is a LEMON!!!

no gender, really... it's called Baby, but that's about it. it's slowly morphing from Baby to Violator though. that's what it's gonna be called when i finish with the mods + i'm getting custom plates VIOL8R if they are not taken. i guess when the morphing process is over, it will be a guy car.

Well the Diff is noisy, need a new transmission, water pump, steering rack, front struts, it went to the dealer yesterday to get fixed, told me leave it with them 7:30 in the morning, call em up at 3 to check how things are going and they said "well we just started on it now come get it at 4:30". There was like 8 things needed to be fixed, in the end they only done one thing, the steering!! Hey and not to mention the rust bubbles coming up below the door in an 18 month old car!!!

oh man, that's not good... you need a whole new transmission?! bloody hell! plus, your cars younger than mine - mine's just over 2 years old now.

did you buy the car brand new? i think you told me but i can't remember.

AU_guy · 01-16-2002, 16:29

Mines referred to as the "Brute" by both myself and the Financial Controller, not sure whether this would be classified as M or F, another good desc. would be the Money Pit.

Well surely the ute could only be male.
Very blokey, you know.

( hadn't seen Jesmol's post, I was talking about mine.)
