Why are cars refered as "she's"

[Drache]

I finally figured out why cars are referred to in the female form. Cars and women are alike. On a cold morning it's really hard to get either of them to turn over

Yeah you're better off staring at them after they're put up for the night and imagining what a perfect scenario would be like with them.  Because the second you wake them up, things will go well for a while, but then there's always some little thing coming up that keeps you from fully enjoying them.

Sometimes though, you get tired of it and just do a quick 30 second burnout.   You grin stupidly afterwards, not realizing that, without a lot of maintenance in between, the next time you try to do that they're not going to be nearly as cooperative, and may not start at all.  Do it three times in a row and you might as well start shopping for a new one.

Like leaving in another car?
