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

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...
