    Please, please, please tell me I'm not the only one that absolutely cringes and hates when people give cars genders. I don't get it. Why is it so popular for people to refer to cars as "he" or "she"? It's downright creepy if you ask me. I get it if you named your car midnight or something like that because it's a deep blue, purple or black, but why go as far as referring to it with a specific gender.

    a man's car is a female, a woman's car is a man

    i don't find it weird, i'll refer to my car with a gender as second nature

    womans car is a man... I haven't noticed that, but it's refreshing to hear.
    Guys like cars more overall, but there are some cars that I would probably refer to as he and not she

    I find it cringy too but I don't judge people for it ahah. And in french almost all objects have genders but I still call a car "a car" :p

    Cars are female in french if y'all wondering .-.
