I was at my car dealership explaining to the female info taker and as my iPhone was listening it recorded my conversation. Seems every time I referred to my car “IT” was a “She”. As in the car info screen said the power assist is off grab the wheel sign came up wit hands at the 10 and 2 position. Then “She” said service the parking brake which is never used in the vast flat lands where I live. The “She” said to roll down my window, then roll up your window??? And on and on. None of the messages could be dismissed by “Her” controls! I believe it’s probably the 4 yr old battery dying and creating the fun information. But I was struck by my car always referred to as a “She” or “Her” never a it and certainly never a “He”. Guess my early training stuck in unexpected ways. Ladies and Gents are your vehicles a it ? Or a ? Ps the Lady at the counter didn’t seem to notice or expected the reference of a it being a she. | ||

I thought everyone knew all cars are female. "The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people." "Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy." "I did," said Ford, "it is." "So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?" "It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want." "You mean they actually vote for the lizards." "Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course." "But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?" "Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in." | |||

This one is called occasionally Son of a Bitch ! Never Daughter of a Bitch ! Guess I do refer occasionally to it in the male vernacular !! Now I’m conflicted. | |||

Slight thread drift. I have a client who is "in transition." He/She was in the other day with his dog. He will quickly correct you if you call him the dog's DAD, and tell you he's MOM. Okay, whatever. So the other day in referring to his dog (a neutered male), he looked up at the tech and said (with a straight face) "She. She identifies as female." What. The. #$*&...? I don't even know how to respond to that if he/she/they bring it up to me. ________________________________________________ "You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.

It's been common practice/tradition for many generations to refer to all vehicles (boats/planes/cars/etc.) with female pronouns. Likely a carryover from the superstitious days of sailing ships. | |||

My car identifies as a plane.  Most of my cars have always had names. -Mazda Fukiro (symbol looked like an owl/Japanese for owl. -Ridgeline Raba (mule in Japanese because it’s a basic pack mule do all vehicle) -Porsche’s Sabine and Nina -Honda Pilots. Grant and Lee (we owned a blue and a gray one -Honda S2000 Myamoto (because it would “carve” corners Those are a few examples. Ohh there was also Toyota Highlander named…..”YOU FRIGGIN PIECE OF SHIT BUILT ON A MONDAY BY A GUY HUNGOVER ON SAKE AND GOING THROUGH A DIVORCE, I WISH YOU WOULD BURST INTO FLAMES, BURN TO THE GROUND AND DRIVE RIGHT INTO HELL!!!!” That one is kinda self explanatory.

Ever wonder why we carry that forward? I blame early toilet training practices. (-; | |||

Years back while at a garage sale and met Hal. Hal had a dozen very nice riding lawn mowers that he up keeps and maintains. All of the had names on them , All were female names. Except one. The one he spent the most time repairing and replacing parts on was 25 years old. It was simply called "The Bitch" Every year people would stop by and sign up to drive them in the tiny town parade.

I don't understand the original post.  Is this an ironic play on modern pronoun usage, or just ambiguous pronouns? Is the service station employee "she"? Is Siri "she"? Is the car "she"? But the car is supposed to be "it"? Did the OP actually call the car a "she"? Or did a machine turn "it" into "she"? I'm befuddled. ---------------------------- Chuck Norris put the laughter in "manslaughter" Educating the youth of America, one declension at a time. | |||

About the dog identifying as a "she". Nope, to me it's still a neutered male, but I might call it an "it". flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||
