Is it a she?
Don't know about anyone else but l've never called my a car a she a nick name or anything like that, to me it's a car, l've called all sorts of 4 letter words from time to time but that's about it.
So time to confess do you have a nickname for your car or give it a gender???? |

Not sure, but Roger Taylor once wrote a song about being in love with a car, much to the other band members derision!

I generally call the 200 'the old bus', my dad refers to it as 'the hearse' and some of my friends back home refer to it as 'the beast'. I will sometimes refer to the old bus as 'she' but I think I do this purely because it's a general thing people say and have always said. It's funny how people refer to cars as 'she', is it because the older they get the more they break our balls?!

I don't understand calling a car "the old bus", ok if it's a pile for sure, otherwise it's whatever it is.
I guess,.....it becomes a she if you've lavished loads of time and money on it and done the work yourself when your in front of it and talking to an enthusiast at a show. |
