dont refer to it as 'her'

[Rick]

people should not be referring to their cars as her/girl/she

 

not only does it make you sound like an old codger,

it sounds gay when its powered by a cossy turbo

 

a bubble arched monster is in no way alike to a beautiful doris,

more a pitbull on wheels

 

dont do it

 

lol

[Pipster007]

When it breaks down, my cars are generally referred to as "the F*$%&^g C$%t" of a car

Mine's an 'it' at the best of times

Washing a car, is very much like making love to a beautiful doris. You've got to caress the bodywork. Breathe softly and gently. And give every inch of it your loving attention. And make sure you've got a nice wet sponge.

 

Going to the brink of death and back, in a nine car pile-up on a dual carriage-way, is ... very much like making love to a beautiful doris. First of all, brace yourself, hold on tight - particularly if it's a rear-ender. And pray you make contact with her twin airbags as soon as possible.

Remember the Lord Flasheart quote from Blackadder?

 

"treat your women like your kite, get inside her twice a day and take her to heaven and back"

 

As to the he / she / it debate

 

I work as a sea going Marine engineer and traditionally all ships are a she...............that often carries over to my cars through force of habit.

[retro_car_man]

[aux]

Spent years around old trucks (ex-traveller), and 'old codgers' with old engines, its traditional to give them female names and all that.. kind of picked the habit up with the 'she' thing, dont go as far to name them though... not yet, ill give it a few more years
