Just reading some threads in several of the forums and a common thread is Just washed the old girl, going to yank the engine out of her and rebuild it. Took her for a spin today, washed her this morning. This goes on and on so I was wondering do we call them girls because:

1. They are beautiful
2. Cause us endless trouble
3. We love them
4. Always spending money on them
5. leave us stranded one day save us the next

add your comments to the list

 

They like attention
They have attitudes sometimes
They respond well to body rubs, waxes, and oils... (Interiors also!)
They like being photographed
Many flaunt attractive bodylines
Some like wearing their skirts...
And most love to be driven!

 

Well, yeah........

 

For all those reasons and [at the risk of being politically incorrect]...'cause to this red-blooded Canadian, the thought of " boring out getting under,washing up,working on,rubbing down or sitting in" a MALE car just ain't gonna happen!!

 

Real rib used in construction ...

 

LOL! I love you guys!!

 

x2 Just the thought of thinking of it makes me shudder.

Gentleman72nRob71 would sound pretty weird too.

Cars aren't always "she", if they're mean and ugly enough or trucks they're "bad boys".

I don't understand any "she's" and I'm surrounded by them, including three dogs and the cars.
It just lonely old me and the two stinkin' cats, and they're neutered.

I just know not to make a list or I'll be living in the barn, or end up like the cats.

 

You're funny!

 

very good....but i have to say that there has to be more reason out there some where!

 

My car is a female because if it was a male it would make me into something I am not. I love my car and it loves me back by being dependable enough to be a daily driver.

 

my car is a male his name is just because right now he is a pain in my A$$...

 

Aw come on all of us guys are just a loveable as can be right? Well sounded good anyway.

 

Meowwwww.....

 

All my cars are male.

IMO a car is a girl if it's a manual tranny, because they are more diffcult to handle, except in the story of big rig trucks.

IDK, something that's been past down in my family i guess

 

My car is a female. 71 conv. She is always dropping her top. Just wouldn't be as nice if it was a male.
Larry

 

The "headlights" just don't look the same on a male car either!!

 

Because they (THE CAR) can be Hot and Nasty.

 

Yeah.... what he said! LOL

 

Mine is named Ida....She was the original owner..

 

Ole blue is a she...........She has treated me pretty good over the years........

 

The same reason we call ships she, beautiful, graceful and get the job done.

 

yeah it sounds good until you get a month or two into and then things start to break and then the next thing you no, the guys gone and your still stuck with the bill....lol

 

You mean the missing one????

Ralph

 

So I always hear you refer to your car as the prettiest one , would that be a pretty male or female?

 

A "pretty" boy (or guy) is what????!!!!

Ralph

 

LOL!! I dunno - a parrot??? Or, Boy George?? Anyhow, the prettiest one is all female. Kind of reminds me of myself See citcapps first post, and the next one from Rob... we do enjoy being spoiled! And when we're not happy, we're not afraid to let it be known! You'll have to ask Bluevista... he got to meet both of us!! Meeoowww... We love you guys!!

 

Muhammad Ali is male and pretty, he said so.

Does the pretty-bird wants a cracker? I think Boy George does too.

No joke about not being happy, I witnessed it in person.
The rumor is that "The Prettiest One" ran over the last guy that said something, where do you think the former bonk in the bumper and the messed up grills and stone guard came from?
Those aren't old parts, they're evidence.


Ask Bluevista?, now I know why I go about a hundred PM's in my inbox.

You guys.

 

Yeah, what he said! LOL xoxoxo!!

 

Let me rephrase ... is the pretty one a boy or girl car.

 

The prettiest one is a girl car - with a bright yellow hat in her back window that says it all: "REAL WOMEN DRIVE OLDSMOBILES"

 

Yes to all of the above and then some.....Normal heterosexual behavior dictates people are attracted to the opposite sex under most circumstances... Thats why guys refer to to their cars as my girl, baby, she, old girl etc.....

 

This color would never be what you call a "guy" car. oldsdroptop...

 

LOL!! Looks like a she to me!! Very pretty!

 

My Delta 88's name is Olivia cuz she's a big body with curves..maybe i should name her madea.

 

that said it all!!!

 

My wife has named the 48 Olds Annie Oaky because she is from Oklahoma. She tells me the name will be on the trunk of the car. I have no say in this I am told

 

Well I still have not named mine officially yet but the girlfriend calls it tweety bird for obvious reasons. The mats came with the car and she won't let me change them so someone is going to steal them

 

OMG - my oldest sister would love those mats!!! She's like in her 70's and has a tweety bird towel over the tops of her back seats, a tweety steering wheel cover, tweety's with suction cup things stuck in her back side windows - and this is in an 84 or 85 ( I can't remember) Delta 88!! She loves her tweety's!! He is cute...

 

My girlfriends daughter calls the car "big bird", I really need to come up with an official name for her , yes her.

 

You NEED to get a picture of that (car included) and put it in your signature!

BTW, Lady bit me the other day when fastening my seat belt - I think she was jealous that another lady was with me also...
