I think it is sort of standard to refer to cars as she, no? Same with boats? Wonder why that is.......

Yup.

Know the phrase "steady as SHE goes"? lol

Not that I'm agreeing with it, but I found this on yahoo.com:

Cause cars and boats, etc, are as alluring to a man as a beautiful, sensuous woman. They can also be as aggravating and temperamental as a woman, as well, so it's just natural to identify them as female.

It's like, also, bad storms are called "Her"icanes, and some medical problems are called, "Her"nias, and the only thing a man ends up being is a "HIM"roid, which always is just a pain in the butt, or one of a woman's worst affictions, which always leads to a "HIS"terectomy.

Sorry.

I realized later it had the wrong name and for the exact reason you just now stated.

And I was pleasantly surprised to find it was not about heavy metal music!

I came into the thread thinking it was about heavy metal music too but think that the title is kinda catchy.

I like it!

My absolutely favorite car I've owned, (so far) was a Black on black 2008 Saab turbo. Fast as hell...sometimes she would fishtail right out of a full stop...she could dust most motorcycles....A real rocket..damn, I miss that car!

Hold your head high soldier! But no need to apologize for the derail, it is not a heavy chat, just a little fun.

I loved this car. 1968 Kharman-Ghia. The only problem was the engine was in the trunk and one day, I got rear-ended and they totaled the car. I was heartbroken.

I bought a 1974 MGB Roadster after the loss of the Kharman-Ghia. I guess I had a thing for small, sporty, convertibles way back when.
