Cool My Wife asked me why we call our cars female

My Wife asked me today why we call are cars female . I responed slighly, "because we are in control of them hehehee". She thought that was a hoot. All you gals out there KNOW I am joking around. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

On a good note I was driving slowly thru the strip mall parking lot getting tons of looks from all these people, and I am thinking I da man . Only to realize I had hit the hatch button on my alarm keypad. I know this as I saw my hatch open in the reflection of the phamasave window. GOD I FELT SO FOOLISH. You think I would have felt a breeze or something. <img border="0" alt="[ouch]" title="" src="graemlins/c.gif" />

Actually these cars remind me of Boyee's crazy girlfriends.

When everythings good and they are doing what they do best you can't keep your eyes off of them and the world is a beautiful place.

But in the back of your mind you know that in an instant they can turn your world into absolute hell. <img border="0" alt="[icon107]" title="" src="graemlins/icon107.gif" />

My cars are male. There isn't one specific thing, they just seem male, especially the '84.

Well personally I don't give my cars, boats, bikes, guns, etc. human attributes. But here's a shot at an answer she might like:

Tell her some men feel more comfortable with "things" if they anthropomorphize them. Makes them feel more in touch with what is going on, how the machine is performing, etc. Tell her since the car is nice to look at you figured it would feel more "right" if it was a woman than a man, and how would she feel if you kept referring to your beautiful man car instead of your beautiful female car.

Does that sound like a load of s--t or will she buy it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

My dad told me, when I first started assisting him at the tender age of nine; he said that all machines were female, and we all better treat them with respect in how we use them. He included the Apollos, Shuttles, 747s, cars, etc.

He said if you talked nice to them and treated them well, they would always pull through for you, like a buddy.

But all bets were off if you abused them, and they could be an absolute Bitch, ie, you are landing a plane, you didn't take care of it, and it decided not to put down the landing gear! Hell of a landing then...

And cars are special, since it's a privelege to own them, so you should always take care of them like a babee.

So, that's my answer, from my dad.

And by the way - my boyfriend named his car Minos, definitely a male name! I told him that's why his car hates behaving, since she wants my attention all the time, since I treat her right.

Kijo likes to pull the "hood trick" like I call it; if I pull the hood release, she doesn't want to open for me; she wants someone pulling the hood release, then the other person lifting the hood. I have to pull it several times some days, heh. She seems to just glow with all the attention she gets from all the old gents driving their Mercedes and Minivans.

And the young guys, she just looooves to show off for the guys...just purring away, and leaving them in the dust on the on ramps...oh, that's not her, that's me! But Kijo seems to purr best when she does that.

My car wants to race! I think I will have to learn about running her stock.

Porsches are the sexiest cars out there, just like females are the sexiest creatures alive... they have this way that tempts and teases you, and when you treat them good, they will rock your world like it has never been rocked before.

they will let you ride them through all the twists, turns, chacains, up and down through out the gears, over and over again, making you scream more, harder, FASTER! and just when you think they cant take anymore, they will give you more than you can handle, and push you past limits you thought were possible.

there is something about the curves of these vehicles that screams out sex. the way their bodies curve, they way they feel in the seat, the way they purr. touching a Porsche is like touching a beautiful woman.. when you do, you can almost feel the same magical force inside of you longing, wanting, craving for more.

take a 930 for example, one of the sexiest cars ever produced. it has those sexy hips, and *** that just drive you wild, wanting to hop in and give it a ride. it has more power than most people can handle. you push too hard, and you'll find yourself hanging on for dear life. youve gotta hit her sweet spot, and know how to push her buttons to have your way with her. a 930 will make you wet just looking at it, and every drive is another orgasm, as you scream out of pure porsche driven pleasure with each rev of its engine. she is the girl of our dreams.. the one we always see, but cant touch.. you know what i mean.. the forbidden fruit, and only a few of us can attain her, and the exstacy she brings.

a Porsche is straight pure unadulterated sex. there is no real substitute for sex, and there are no substitutes for a Porsche.

btw.. is it me, or did it just get really hot in here? <img border="0" alt="[icon107]" title="" src="graemlins/icon107.gif" />

1 When you get her hot she blows a gasket

2 When you hammer her she seizes

3 When you neglect her she whines

4 She costs lots of money to get

5 She costs lots of money to keep

6 She costs lots of money to maintain

7 The more money you put into her the better she looks

8 The more you drive her the more she purrs

9 The more you want her the less you can attain her

10 Like a Honda she gets the job done

11 Like a Porsche she gives you performance

12 Like a Cadillac she gives you comfort

Finally, she'll give you more push the more you stroke her.

The same reson boats have female names.

Women, boats, and cars are like big holes that you just keep pouring money into.

The best two days are the day you buy/meet and the day you sell/get dumped.
