jhv · 07-17-2007, 04:26 PM

referred to as female?
for example 'man look at that e39 m5, yeah shes a beauty'
someone please explain the reason / origin of this im really curious

jj thumper · 07-17-2007, 04:29 PM

Cause when Im "in" something i would want it to be a female. My cars name is Jessica

TheAcAvenger · 07-17-2007, 05:01 PM

Why on earth would I want to spend my time carressing, talking to, beating on, washing a guy?

My car's name is Carmen (and no, i didn't intend for the "car" or the "men" puns)

UncleWede · 07-17-2007, 05:17 PM

Even sailing ships were/are female, something about the male subjugation of the female?

DasBlitz · 07-17-2007, 05:33 PM

Women are sexy.(some) And cars are sexy.(some) so there is the correlation.

E90330iS · 07-17-2007, 05:33 PM

Cuz men usually want what belongs to them to be female...

BMW F22 · 07-17-2007, 06:02 PM

OC Guy · 07-17-2007, 09:14 PM

I don't call my car a "her." If you want to that's cool though.

Ok...the metaphor doesn't always work...

If you want...you can call your car a beastly guy instead. We won't judge.
