Don't kink shame.

I hardly think there's sufficient evidence to support that allegation😅

;Let's not get crazy, now 💅

Lots of tightwad-ass responses in here. What a bummer. Its a silly question that should have silly responses, folks. Lighten up.

For some reason, all my cars have received female gendered references. I think its that way for a lot of folks. I have a feeling some movie or show popularized the concept at some point and it just took off from there. Maybe it was westerns with how riders talk to their horses and stuff? I don't know. Sounds like an interesting rabbit hole though.

I have never gotten the point or the fun in naming or gendering inanimate objects.

Chip (my car) is a boy, but he is not a "dude".

Her name is Pellefant.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

I use the inanimate verb for being, so I'm going to go with neither

[–] clockwork_octopus 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Boy, his name is Fynn. Last one was a girl (Ingrid), the one before that was non-binary, before that was a girl (Stella), before that was non-binary, before that was a boy. I’m probably missing a few though.

[–] cheese_greater 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

How have you had so many cars lmao

[–] clockwork_octopus 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I’m old, I guess. And these are just the cars that I’ve considered as mine. I’ve owned more, lol

[–] cheese_greater 2 points 2 days ago

[–] slazer2au 4 points 3 days ago

Non existent.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

it's 2024, chicks can also be dudes

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Some have been simply awesome cars, some girls, some boys.

[–] P1nkman 2 points 2 days ago

Does it have a hook? Then it's a boy, else, it's a girl. My current cars are Embla and Herman. Previous ones were Bob, Betty and Alfred.

[–] jordanlund 2 points 3 days ago

Two cars ago, clearly a dude. Petey.

Not sure on the last one or my current one.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

I don't have a car, but my bike uses she/her pronouns.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

My segway ninebot scooter was a man (may he rest in peace), my niu kqi3 max is a woman. I miss my ninebot, he was so portable and lightweight for carrying up train station stairs. Also nobody wanted him since he was outdated and an unpopular model (e22) and was safe from being stolen. While my niu is much more powerful, faster, and lasts longer, she's like 2x heavier and attracts would-be thieves if I didn't app lock AND use a chain lock. I was able to secure the ninebot with a cheap amazon basics lock, nobody wanted him but me!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I call mine “baby girl” because I know it’s fucking corny. I’ve never been into referring to cars as people, but I guess I’m a hypocrite now.

[–] cheese_greater 1 points 2 days ago

I really struggled with the ultimate phrasing and baby girl my preliminary second choice for the female side. I feel like gendering their car is more a guy thing but I could be wrong and women personify their cars sometimes too
