All of us 928 owners must be beta males, we give so much and they just give us more crap.

I don't look upon my cars as mistresses to be pampered or children to be babied. They're tools to be used and partners for adventures. As such, they're given good treatment, but they're expected to pull their weight and perform as needed.

All my P-Cars have (or had) male names: Moby, Jake, Finn, and Stitch.

They both leak after you ride them. Thank you--thank you. Tip your waiters and try the veil. I'm here 'til Thursday...

LMAO!!!
My wife started refering to my car as "the lady in red". Since then I've started refering to "her" as Princess. It's said sarcastically with a loving under tone:/

Aww, eww...

That's true. And the key word you said was "grammatical." In fact, one should not mix grammatical gender and species gender. They have not much to do with one another. Let's take the following examples:

1.) "car" can be masculine or neuter in German (not feminine like in French)
2.) "girl" is grammatically speaking neuter in German (i.e. "it" and not he or she.)

As a (native) English speaker, I actually find it strange to refere to cars as "she." For boats though, strangely enough, it sounds normal to me.

I recently spent almost $1500 in parts from Roger and others to keep her going the way I want to. As someone has as their signature (don't remember who), 'she's like an expensive ***** and hopefully will give him the ride of his life one day...." Ditto!

My mother named it, Stephanie the other woman. Because my dad pays more attention to it than her sometimes.

Every car I've owned had it's own personality, some where more reliable than others and required very little attention - these cars did not have female names. The 928 S4 on the other hand seems to be more like a high maintenance supermodel, I love her but she craves attention and care but gives me great pleasure when I take her on epic drives. I also own a 911 3.2 Carrera which I call "the mistress" dressed in Glacier Blue.............Ok, I need help. LOL

The car, the Porsche, the 928, the GTS, and sometimes the Piece of Junk.

It's true "car" is feminine in French, it's "une voiture", but the nickname of my 928 is male.

It's Yeti, because:
- It's white and dark red inside (white\burgundy)
- It has bad mood
- It has spend most of its life so far into the Alps
- and it screams loud when you don't expect it, thanks to the f.... original alarm.


The previous one was simply: the CS.

It was a Piece of Junk when the cam broke off at the cam gear and crashed all sixteen valves on the drivers side head.
