Not all vehicles can be female...I mean an Excursion would be one fat ugly female if you ask me....it has to be a man.
 
My WRX is defenitely female. Of course, I seem to prefer cars that seem female, having also owned an S14 and a Miata.
 
Funny. Related thread popped up on MTBR...


I would never sex my bike though... Oh yeah, right in the 68mm shell. Uhh NO.

Depends on the car.
 
My understanding was that all cars are female. Only car I had name for was my first car, 1985 Nissan Maxima. It was a he, and his name was Max. I miss you, Max! :(

Delphic Reason
My car is definitely a girl... A right sexy girl...

Her name is "Silvia"...

If I wasn't such a gentleman, I would stick it right up her tail...

:lol: I wanted make a joke here so bad, but in respect to Duke, I'm gonna hold off. :D
 
I hate the type of old-guy thinking that says every mechanical vehicle (boats/car/planes etc) that a man owns/controls has to be referred to as a female. Its like the MAN controls the car and is its master and the car always obeys (and the man can hit the car if it EVER does something wrong). That aspect of it seems a bit wierd to me, but I don't care that much - depends how much you want to read into it! I'm surprised the feminist nazis haven't gotten onto this yet and attacked it!!

I don't care if you call your car female or male, just don't expect me to think of any non-biological object as having gender. A car is a car. A lump of steel and plastic that is engineered to look appealing aesthetically and perform a certain task.

Many cars may inadvertently seem female, simply because they are mostly designed by men - who may have certain subconscious ideas about what looks appealing... just a thought!

Depends on the owner

So what happened in the 80's then? There was some massive subconcious robot-lust going on?

I think its more prevalent in sportscars, ones that are supposed to be sexy and appealing... that the MAN enjoys controlling and driving really hard! :scared:

Dunno about the 80s, maybe thats why there are considerably less cars from the 80s (compared to other decades) that we still like the looks of?
It may be important to note that dancing like a "robot" in the discos of the 80s was quite popular amongst attractive women of that era, and men may have simply gone too far with the car designs, trying to "replicate" the sexy moves of women.
Men of the 80s also looked up to incredibly square jawed robot-like blokes also, Arnie being the prime example.

Some of the most classic car shapes mimic appealing qualities of both sexes, usually the macho boldness of a man (either worryingly phallic, or simply 'hard edged and tough'), and the generally more rounded, smooth flowing lines of a woman. For example the AC Cobra: womanly wider hips, rounded flowing lines combined with a worryingly phallic name and questionably long bonnet - big donk in front of you... (Jag E-type anyone?! :scared: )

Because it may not be appropriate if I keep going down this track with my car design theory... I think I'll call it a day. :sly:
 
personaly i think this thread should work like the 'rate a car' thread where basically ,start by saying a car name e.g:jaguar xk8 then in the reply the next user says male or female, and puts another car name at the bottom of the post
like this:

-------------------------------
male



ferrari f430
--------------------------------


but that's just an idea

WHAT?! You take that back - Only crappy cars are lumps of steel and plastic.

My car is a beautiful machine. When you hear the motor roar up from idle to 5,000rpm at wide open throttle and the abrupt, hard shift of the transmission from first to second at 48mph as the process starts all over again another three times, with the exhaust bellowing a smooth, deep note, you wouldn't dare say it's a lump of steel and plastic. My car is my friend, we work together. Therefore, it has to be, at some level, animate, and judging by how studly my car looks, sounds, and performs, it has to be a man.

I bet you drive a Honda.
 
It is still steel and plastic, and may be very aesthetically appealing, especially to you. I didn't say anything negative about cars really, with the exception of the word "lump", which was only done to contrast to counter the notion that cars are in fact, alive.

If I wanted white goods on wheels I'd get a Toyota Avalon. :yuck:

Don't worry, I would still orgasm over a beautiful car like a DB9, I just wouldn't expect it to orgasm back.* :lol:

*Apologies for bad taste.
 
Cars are lifeless mechanical objects.

To specify a gender is insane.

My hyundai is definately a chick. She's such a b!tch at times...
 
So you guys don't love automobiles enough to give them names? To talk to them? Stuff like that? True car guy do that kinda stuff, you have a bond between you and your automobile. My truck is named Shelia and we have a bond, I guess because I've owned her longer then any other car and we've been through so much togheter.

Plus my fiancee gets worried from time to time because I spend so much time with the truck :lol:.
 
Anyway, my dad calls the car Nelly when it's struggling to pull something.

Originally I thought it was some ripoff of a horse in a movie, but perhaps he likes Nelly the 'singer'
 
I've always imagined Elise from the SSX series to be like the Lotus Elise.

Rather ironically, she isn't the fastest, but she turns and edges well.

Uhh... didn't you just say "to specify a gender is insane"? No offense, but you sorta contradicted yourself there...

And I agree with you, BlazinXtreme, about car guys loving their cars that much.

He didn't say he wasn't insane, ergo, no contradiction. :p

And good cars are what then, lumps of aluminum and carbon fiber?
No biology= no gender.
 
So, is George the Avanti?




My Lexus was a deceased Female Goth depressive teenager. It nagged and yelled and threw tantrums, and when it thought life sucked(a day after an oil change) it up and died at a 4 way stop, in the snow. I tried to bring it back to life.... But I guess it was born with a crappy alternator. :dopey:


The Chevy is much like a girl who I've known very well since 7th grade. She knows the precise moment when national torment Chris day begins, and when she feels as though she's had enough fun at my expense she ceases the torment and returns to being normal.

When the "Biscuit" decided that waking up in 30 degree weather at 7 am wasn't on her list of priorities, she decided that she would take 10 minutes to start. But, she got to get my hopes up a little with a few starts and sputters. After 10 minutes, I yelled, "Darnit Katherine, it's not National torment Chris day!!" ...And it started. :dunce:

My car is a Female. My deceased car was a female. I personally think it depends. My Dad's truck is definitely a guy. It's old, fat ugly, has poor hygeine and drinks and smokes too much.
 
dont name your car after a girlfriend... cause when you break up, your car WILL take a crap... and die! this has happened to me and other people I know... just some friendly advice for the insane
 
My car is like one of those girlfriends that aren't particularly pretty. Your friends all tease you and call her ugly, yet you think she's just fine the way she is. Just replace ugly/beautiful with slow/fast. :lol:

She goes wherever I go, and I can always count on her (moreso than most of my friends can count on their cars)...however, she can overreact to small problems and throw brief tantrums, and she complains about the cold (though she'll still put up with it).

Blasphemy...
 
I think of my 69 Camaro as a girl because it sure is one sexy B@#$# and im always saying "its ok baby" if something goes wrong with it. I also try to take care of it and keep it maintained like a girl.
Now on the other hand my big 4x4 truck is a man. Its dirty, strong and wants to be treated rough and hard. :lol:

My GF calls her 67 mustang a girl.
