Charlie is a girl. Even though I picked a name that is both.

My wife keeps pointing out that all forms of transportation are female.

This will seem childish

But we have always decided that a stick is a boy and an automatic is a girl. The hybrid like CVT was a challange though. Hence my wife went with Demi which in french means half. I tend to think of our car as a girl but It seems I just explained it to be a gender illusionist.

I'm slightly embarassed to say I've actually considered this question. (...not for long though.) I don't feel right considering my MINI a guy because I love it WAY too much (...straight guy here). On the other hand it can't be a girl, because I make it sleep outside all the time (...which just isn't very gentlemanly). So for me, in the end, its "just" a car. I'm happy with this answer and, frankly, my considering the question further would be just too weird!

My Wicked Wanda is definitely a vixen of the female persuasion (sorry for the redundancy, tee hee!)

She's a VERY hot mama!

gender

Madeline, (Indi Blue/White MCS) is very definately a girl....

For those of you that remember.... She is the Eartha Kit type.... Slinky and sensuous.... likely to get me in trouble.

She now has a new little sister. A Scion xB box less than 24 hours old and already receiving mods! LOL

My Mini, Mrs. Peel, is a kick *** sexy woman. for those not old enough to remember, Mrs Peel was also a British secret agent who could karate chop as well as James Bond, on a TV series called "The Avengers". Funny how she looks a bit like the young Diana Rigg, especially with those big eyes atop that nice bonnet.:smile:

Mr.Motor2 is obviously a dude. Son-of the late Mr.Motor. He used to be a bit preoccupied that he was a replacement, but now that he's stronger and more refined, he's in his own right. He's short because his suspension is hunkered down, but that doesn't mean he has to compensate for anything, his aesthetic is subdued, not screaming for attention. Tinted side markers keep the profile discreet and smooth. Good looking, but not vain. Clean shaven (Zaino or NXT), but sometimes just a bit of 5-o'clock shadow (brake dust, hee hee)


--->jds; it's ok to admit your MINI is a guy; just because you love another guy doesn't mean your in-love with another guy! :smile:

Motor-On!
Ryan

I thought a male or female car depends on which side the fuel port is on?!?!

OK, silly question: What's with the hatred of BRG? I'd originally thought its sarcastic, but I'm not really sure anymore.

Blubelle (IB/W MCS) is a southern gentlewoman, with one hell of a mean streak! Funny how my wife tolerates my four wheeled mistresses, yet looks unkindly upon those of the two legged variety.

Padre is definitely a guy. He is also a manual shift so I guess that confirms it. He is also fast, but I gues that's because he is NOT british racing green.

Cheers,

I think I've seen this type of comment before from pocketrocketowner, and I have to agree that BRG is not the nicest MINI color in the bunch. My question would be --- why did you choose it?

Yomiko is a girl. I've always considered it bad luck to name a car a male name. Heard that somewhere, but not sure where.
