Default When I become the Supreme Ruler.....

..... My Corvette will no longer be referred to as a 'She'. After my appointment as the SR (which now is only 2 days away from never), only 'It' and 'He' will be allowed. 'She' is reserved for boats and English cars. So, if you ever see this 'Him' on the street, please refrain from asking questions like, "What year is she?" or "What's in her?"



There is nothing feminine about this car other than it's kinda yellow and smell's like gasoline and oil. No offense ladies.



p.s. GELB is German for yellow.

This has come up before and turned into quite the fiasco.



p.s. I prefer "The Vette" when referencing my car.

That's a sexist remark. I hope she doesn't hear you. Personally, I think she's pretty in yellow.

In this household the Vette is called "Daddy's red car."

I don't wanna get in trouble here, but I can point out these cars always want you to buy them stuff, and they get mad if you ignore them. Having said that, I will let you draw your own conclusions.

I beg to differ. I think the C3 body style could be the most feminine looking car ever made.

When I seize power and become Supreme Ruler, the very first thing I am going to do is issue a proclamation, whereby the OP of this thread is not allowed, under any and all circumstances, to ever, ever, become Supreme Ruler, in perpetuity, throughout the Universe. So there!

Scott, I am in total agreement with you. There used to be a poster of a woman lying on her side right above an outline of a C3 side view. Curves (as you all know) matched perfectly! Wish I would have saved it as I could never find it again.

Tempur-Pedic ads will work for that.

I've learned two things from my post. First is, I can't rely on you guys to support my quest for SR. The second and most important lesson is, C3 pilots have a great sense of humor.

Methinks I'm liking this forum better everyday.

Someone posted not long ago the c3 shape is kinda phallic ....LOL ...long ...I'm going with that. Either way, they are the sexiest car ever made! Who wants to drive a box on wheels anyway?

The Beast or the Vette suffices around this house.

I refer to the 'Vette as the "the project." My 16 y.o. son refers to it as his car.

My 06 black ultra classic is the "Forsworn."

I think the dog is the SR of my house.

The last time a certain "Supreme Ruler" decided to go against convention and call his favorite vehicle a "He", it didn't go so well for that vehicle. Stick with "she", your car will be happier in the long run......

Does "he" have any *****? Or a women's fury?
