My car was unsexed until today. It told me it would make it thru the 2foot of water in the streets as long as i cruised fast enough to wake the water away from the doors. I told the car I was afraid of getting water in it's intakes. It called me a pussy and told me to floor it. It's got balls. It's a boy, perhaps even a manchild. We made it thru without gaining water.

Bodhi is a boy ... I am a chick. Cars often have a masculine or feminine look to them, and mine just seemed like a dude. Same with the Lib, although some Liberty's really look feminine ... Bronson looked like a "he" to me. It's funny though, in cars years, Bodhi would be an old man, or oldish, but I think of him as a feisty young guy ... weird how cars take on personality. Of course if you're a bit deranged like me, it gets particularly complex ...

My wagon's name was "My Bit*h", just because she was always causing trouble and I had to show her who's the man.

I've never really thought of a name for my 240.

my 300d is definately a guy, named Otto. If he were a she, she would be a very masculine female. She stinks (not to me of course), is loud, and not very streamlined

My car never really has had a name, but I've always referred to her as a girl... "The Benz", etc..... "The Old Girl..."

I've never given names, but I am pretty sure all of mines were/are females.

My wife thinks that the current W124 300D turbo is a man, though...

PS.: I also very much like POS's Damien

Its tentative name is Chuck, short for Chuck Taylor, because I think its the Chuck Taylor of cars. That makes it unisex

I never met a girl named "Chuck" who actually was a girl.

Tonight, you men will sleep with your cars. You will give your car a girl's name because this is the only ******* you people are going to get. Your days of finger-banging ol' Mary J. Rottencrotch through her pertty pink panties are over! You're married to this piece. This vehicle of iron and wood. And you will be faithful.

Two girls

Yup, two girls, Sadie and Goldie. Everybody thinks they are twins because they do look so much alike, tho Goldie is very blond and Sadie is a fair but darker Saxson. Actually tho, Goldie is a year older - really 14 months, just like my sister and I.

I don't really know... Their names are Fib (190 2.0) and Pippin (190E 2.5-16). Purely based on their registrations, but both names are fairly feminine, yet could be masculine too.

Al of mine have been girls until I met Hermann... The 300SD just did not seem like a girl to me... Now Fritzie on the other hand, 100% Bee-atch

Maybe someday they will make me a lil' VW
