Do you refer to your E as a female? or a Male?

I don't get the whole personification/naming thing. IT is a car. IT is neither male nor female, nor is it animal or vegetable.

I don't mean to come off as hostile or anything, but it's akin to calling a desk lamp a boy (or girl).


"Hi, I'm the proud new owner of a Details 120V, 60 Hz fluorescent lamp! I call him Harry. I'm sure he's going to be much more reliable than that bitchy incandescent he's replacing. She was the worst lamp ever. She must have blew a bulb at least once a month! All of my friends think Harry is the cutest lamp they've seen, and now everyone wants to borrow him when they've got reports to read."

Am I the only one who finds that a bit silly, to say the least??

:?:

Silly yes, do I take everything here on site serious, no. The eoc has a certain entertainment aspect, which is why I think things like this poll are funny.

:wink:

..hehe
people prescibe personalities to inanimate objects all the time. for instance. boats. (although i never understood why when women were supposedly bad luck at sea. they would grant a boat a feminine personality) silly perhaps but its a human trait. so dont get all logical on me dagnabbit.

so your E is named harry eh? *snikker*

i named mine maggie. for short and inspired by the Dead's "Sugar Magnolia" dunno why. just happened, could be because the E just brought back lots of microbus memories and well dead was the first or second disc into the cd player..


:D

If I decided to call my EBP the Blue Pearl would that be feminine or masculine?

:roll:

would be inanimate, since a pearl is an object. or perhaps female. (i know a couple of elderly ladies named Pearl) so in the end. it might be your inspiration that brings it gender?

Sorry, but our E is an "it". The only vehicle I have owned that had enough of a personality for a designated gender was an Italian exotic. I won't elaborate any further out of fear of drawing the rage and wrath of certain forum regulars.

:lol: :wink:

Where is BigFoot on this one???

might be just north of you...lurking in the redwoods.


hehe

Well slap my A$$ and call me silly!

I always have named my cars, and always will.....after all I keep them for 10+ years and they become part of me in a way....my last car was Casper the friendly POS White Chevy Cavalier, and my E has become Baby Blue, because my E was my first brand new car ever and he is my baby!

Perhaps I am a bit insane, but then again I have been called worse. To each his own....did I mention I also have over 100 stuffed penguins and they each have a name having to do something with Beer??

*giggles* Everyone has to have their hobbies!

Well my E WAS a male till some idiot left a 4x4 in the road! :shock: Now the parts guy at the loacal Honda dealer thinks I'm nuts!!! :(

Gotta be male. Too ug- I mean, unique, to be a girl...

Look at that studly face - it's like when you look at a baby and can tell whether it's a boy or girl without asking. This one is a boy.

Bill

:D My E is a girl. Well, actually, all my automobiles have been female. I don't know if that has something to do with the fact that I'm a female or what... :wink:

Oh, by the way, her name is Babygirl... :lol: I guess with all the original names out there, I could come up with something more original..

E ON!!!

Mine is obviously male...look below for proof!

Anyway, BlackDog, not only was the first disc in the player a Dead show from '77...my company name is Terrapin Technologies :D :D

Jesse

what does terrapin tech do? seems like a very familiar name to me, (and i grew up in the pacific northwest) just curious!

btw recently bought greatful dawg, one of the garcia grisman collaborations. love it!

d.

a home computer consultant and freelance tech instructor :D
sounds great huh?? made that up all by myself...anyway, I've only been in business for a couple of years, but there are companies with the same name all over the country, so who knows what you saw and where you saw it :lol:

I've got probably 20 hours of Dawg/Garcia shows...amazing stuff :wink:

Jesse

in northern california probably .. but its a great name :D

sounds like you have quite a library of dead recordings! im envious!
i caught them in eugene oregon in the late 70's i was a junior in high school. made quite an impression on me. never stopped listening since.

best!
D.

I was supposed to see The Dead in concert in spring of '92 (all my friends went).....but wouldn't you know that my mom scheduled a college interview....no no Dead Show for me.....so I never did get to see Jerry live *pout* :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

My E is male is his name is HUEBERT:)

The Millennium Element is male.

RUBY
10 characters ... NY KNICKS

I don't know... Lifted up the rear and got slapped! :-o :twisted: :confused:

Regards,

My Hako is definitely male. I talk to him all the time when I'm driving. (Hey, it's only crazy when you think the car talks back! I know, because that's what Hako told me! Wait a minute . . . . :oops:)

Gotta go with "it."

Too bad there's no option for that on the poll. I'd be interested to see how all three choices played. out.

Obviously mine is a Stud.

Hahaha, I agree, IT is a vehicle and IT isn't male or female. :D I have trouble naming my Element...heck, I even have trouble calling it an "E." (I always think of the Mercedes-Benz E Class when I hear "E.")

Having said that, I also think it's great that other people DO name their cars and have given the Element a nickname. It makes this site so very entertaining and A LOT of fun to be a member of! :lol:

mine is ambi-dextrious, it can "right" with both wheels

All Elements are female..try parking it in the driveway after running the airconditioner and you will see she leaves it on the driveway !:roll:

LMAO!!!!!!!! Hondamade4dogs... you crack me up. :D


My Lucy is definitely a female. She is a rocker-chick with all of her tribal tattoos. :lol:

My E is a guy. No doubt about it. The color blue doesn't help.

Neither. And no, that doesn't mean it's trnsgender or metero sexual or any of that other huey. it's a HONDA

Looked underneath - didn't see anything - looks like a male:-|

My E is a woman trapped in a man's body.

(Manual transmission.... but she so doesn't let that stick define her...)

I can see from the topsy-turvy, upside down, left-to-right direction this "strange-subject" thread has taken, that we Element owners have WAYYYYYYYY too much time on our hands. OK, now everyone...take your happy pills and lie down. There......that's better, isn't it?
