I was on cruising my way to a mates house tonight. My girlfriend turns around and said to me. Huni, do you think in a stupid sense cars are like people. Now what she meant was something along the lines of. The motor is the heart. Windscreen wipers are eye lids. Sun visors are eye lases. The siren/horn is its voice etc. etc. I think everyone gets my point.
So then she asks me, "what would you consider a car to be. Male or female?"
I reply, female... My only reason is silly aswell but hey... I told her its because of the fact that, the fuel pump nozzles are the males in the car business. The fuel tank is what makes the car female...
Going on we were into the conversation, like full on.. She goes to me. "You see, i always told you girls are better and guys cant be without us." All i could think of in reply was something we also mentioned in the conversation. Where as the gearbox is the male part of the car. :P sounds stupid, i know, i know! But since the car is nothing without a gearbox. Same goes for the gearbox is nothing without a car.
Enough about my conversations when I am stoned, how about someone elses opinion wether a car is male or female.. It is doing my head in and got me thinking hard!
What do you think :?:
Well female is the obvious answer for me: in Italian the car is "female".. in english it is IT, but in italian we only have male or female connotation.. and the car is the latter :D
And its kinda obvious :D

it depends on the car's personality. My Datsun was a female since she never wanted to start on cold mornings and had a tendency to not listen to me when i tried to tune her carbs (i got a call from the car's new owner yesterday [female who also owns a 280Z, i'll try and direct her here :mrgreen: ] saying that they were having issues with the carbs) to this day the rear carb (cyl, 4-6) STILL runs lean. This is partially the reason i named her Jezebelle :roll:
the van i drive now is male, just because i don't want to drive it (i prefer riding in a female thank you very much :P ) but the majority of cars i come across are female, i think.

i think pretty much everything with an engine is a 'she' its just one of those things. Its accepted that that is what it is - boats are always she or her, and even something like a Lamborghini LM002 will still probably be referred to as a female. Odd, but i think thats just the way it always has been

now wait a second, what do you think the General Lee is then? As pissed off as that engine is, there is no way the General can be female. WWWWWAAAAAAAYYYYYY too much testosterone under that hood :D
come to think of it, any engine with more that 400 cubic inches is male. Maybe there should be a horsepower limit too on which engines get labeled male and which ones get labled female, because the 3 litre V10s in F1 can't be female either...

Not sure I would be that happy to keep using the "stick" of a Diablo if it really is a "male" :P

So judging by what i've just read. Im not a tripper. Thx guys!
If we were to generalize and not take personality (like zfrks mentioned) into consideration. It would make cars female, just because!
I really like that idea of power rating to be the key in determining the difference.
Im looking forward in reading what a female member has to say :P

As for cars, I'd say they're females. Some are hot, others are fugly. :fadein:

Like I mentioned it was doing my head in. I thought I was going stupid and wasn't sure if i should have shared this information. I had to really think a while before I posted. I was scared of the initial reaction of members thinking im loony! O well! lol :P
O and we did mention one other similarity in cars and people. Which is looks, being ugly or hot etc. etc. :)

i say all BMW's are female. the Ms happen to be a little dykish though. The M5 is female but has alot balls. The M roadster does look a bit feminine until you drive it. sure she has a big ass, but once you take her through some turns, you would swear it was a bit too macho for its own good :shock:

i think men generally will refer to their cars as female..though i don't think i've ever heard of a truck get called female, strange huh?
but anyway, even my girlfriend thinks her car was female (it just got totalled after some dumbass plowed into it after going to fast around a corner and blew out a tire :roll: ) i only have one female friend that thinks her car is male..but i think it's a wussy male since its a Geo Metro :lol:

so, everyone here has a different opinion with this. So how about a little poll? as the way I see it:
is the 360 modena a girl or boy?
the db9? is a girl or just a pretty boy?
a diablo is a bloke that stinks and sweats oil?
little cars like the corsa, and the clio are kids?
could a MB S500 be a bald old male?with eyeglasses, and a checkered tie?
a cadillac is a fat guy living in florida?
or I'm just saying stupid things because it's very late here in mexico?

Porsches, Aston Martins, new Lambos, and Ferraris are beautiful, lean, athletic women (man, this making me feel all warm inside). And also the cars have been described as 'wide hipped,' also a feminine trait. The new Beemers to me seem to be a girl that at first you were disgusted to see, and then the more you look at her the more you want to tap dat ass. Also cars, planes, trains, and boats are all women because they are all very complex, and to get her to move the way you want her to, you've got to do everything in correct sequence, right pressure (wink wink), for the right amount of time, and also you gotta know what you're doin. This is making me want to drive with a very hot woman, so I can have double the pleasure, if ya know what I mean.

In spanish its EL (male) auto, but you can also say LA (female) movilidad. In german its DAS (neutral) so well as TT said, in italian its female, so lets not base ourselves on this. As to the part about the male part being the gear knob... what about cars with Flappy pedals? They would have NO male parts.
Instead of looking at the car part by part, I can say if a car is male or female by the looks of it. For example, the NEW mustang entirely looks like an angry man. While the Infiniti G35 looks like a girl. The shape of the headlights are shaped like girl eyes. So IMO it depends on the car in question. (You cant say a Ford F150 is female now can you?)

No way you can judge from that. You can say that if its manual, the driver is a MAN and if its auto, a WOMAN or kind of Queer lol!
But as far as tha car goes... it all depends on how it looks like.
Pretty = female
Mean = male

Well that was the easyest way. If not then they are all female, becuase after its guys that give names to every thing, from ships and plans to cars, and they all end up being female names. And when your swearing at your car/truck, your usaly saying some thing like " come on you bitch!' or "damn bitch blow a seal"

it depends on how you look at it. my friend thinks trunks are pretty does that mean a big F350 Super Duty is a female?!!? usually trucks and suv = men and normal and sports cars are female EX. Eleanor and the other cars in Gone in 60 Seconds. but then the Hummer was a female too

American hot rods are defo males and some are very hairy chested ones in fact!
Almost all European passenger cars are broads, even the most exotic ones (even the likes of Ferrari and Lambo would be very sexy supermodels) The Merc SLR would be a trans perhaps ;)
All the asian cars and even their most agressive ones are chicks IMO
Now an interesting question comes to my mind: What car part best represents the genitals? That may help us with our little categorization problem ;)

Thats precisely what I meant. When I mentioned that the only thing male is the fuel pumps. I must have explained it really poorly. :P Glad some one has corrected me :) oh! and then the topic with the gf moved over to the gearbox. Thats when I lost the plot and couldn't think straight hehe.
Thanks chief hehehe

Well since Austin Martins are sexy cars, that would make them sexy females.
Lutus are like Sporty Spice, cute and athlatic.
Lamborghini's are like that sexy x-wife that cheated on you.
Bentlys are that rich guy from down the street.
M3's are the young teenage males that always try and race every body.
M5 is the older slighter more mature bigger brother of the M3 from college
Ford GT40 is that old guy that sits at the bar by him self drinking wisky, that no body wants to fuck with.
Mercedes benz lives next to that bently guy, but his daughter the SL500, keeps sneaking out to go play with the M3 boys.
The Enzo is that realy rich guy that has a stick lodged up his ass!

Porsche Carrera GT is the Rich cousin with Cayenne Turbo as his wife and Boxter for there spoiled ass child.
