Your car a he or she?

Post by bra1nDeaD »

How do you refer to your car? He? She? Or some pet name?

I myself would like to call her a she, but somehow it doesn't really fit with her style. I also don't want to call her a he so at the moment it's still 'the car'.

So, My D9 V6 saloon = car :?: :?: :?: :?: :?:

What's yours?

Mine's an "it" just like my computers etc; I don't anthropomorphise at all :)

Hmm spelling checker's saying that's not a word, but I don't believe it

You silly boy Swissy :lol:

I have never done the he/she thing :?

I refer to it as 'the peugeot' normally.

More recently refered to as 'dead money' or 'why's that car still on the drive' or 'why haven't you advertised it yet' :|

Of course if I fell out of the bed on the wrong side, it's referred to as the horrible rattly old bastard :)

I love it though. 'Tis a fighter, refusing to die despite the lack of maintenance :)

Mine's called "daddy's car", as opposed to the wife's fucus which is "mammy's car" :cheesy:



I never refer to it as a she, but she clearly is one! Unpredictable and tempremental, stroppy even, but once you get inside it's such a nice place to be! :o :supafrisk: :lol:
