You're right about her. However the story is poster size with picture of car and goes on the windshield at shows. More pictures of the poster than the car!!!

Default She term

The she term is derived from the Military. When a jet is delivered the aircraft is referred to as “She” until it fires a weapon or drops a bomb then it’s referred to as “he’s a bad mother”. If the jet remains in the hanger it referred to as a “hanger queen”. If your Vette is clean and shiny and strikes a pose when parked then “she” is a beauty but if he’s race proven and has the scars to prove it, then”he’s a bad mother”. Get the idea?
