I've never been to Brokeback Mountain and I know for a fact that I am not gay (not that there's anything wrong with that) but I know this for sure about my corvette: "she" is a "beauty" and I love "her"!

This whole thread is unbelieveable. Not gay but must admit she gives me
a ha*d on when I get behind the wheel. I love the car. Hope this is not offensive to anyone

And you think this thread deserves one? It should be moved to OT so the animals can attack the original poster.

YES you are alone! who hell cares how someone refers to their Vette, it's obvious that you have issues with this by the fact that you asked the question. Its pritty shallow of you to assume that someone is "gay" if they refer to their vette as her or she.

Referring to a mucle car as a she doesn't quite have a nice ring to it. Think about it.

Correction- Probably the only two here worried about it.

Better yet, why do you think someone who refers to their car as a "she" is gay, and why do you even care?

I pretty much thought it was a "he" this time, but my wife keeps refering to it as my other woman...

...so keeping inline with my strict policy of only being with women, I'm now sure it is a woman...

This does not mean they are then considered as truly feminine but more like a TRANS-VETTE-ITE, sometimes called a "shim" in N. American anglo culture; unless surgery has been performed to the central organ [engine]; if successful = feminine/if not = eunuch > no *****.

I always thought if you Didn't call your vette a 'she' you were gay. Not that there's any wrong with that...I just choose not to be gay and hold back my true feelings towards men
