VX Gender???

[tom4bren]

Oddly, I haven't found a desire to name mine. I sometimes refer to it as my "Kaiser" in the forum but among my friends here locally its just the "VX".

As far as gender goes it depends on the situation.

If I'm taking care of her, repairing or washing, waxing etc.. its definitely female. On the road or trail I'd be more likely to regard it as male.

My cars have always had a gender. Usually female, because it sounds better to talk about getting in and out of a female car than a male one. Right now the story I use is; my VX's name is Victoria, Vicki if you know her pretty well, and just Vee when you've been in and out of her as much as I have.

I don't know what the mentality is, but I always refer to the VX as if it were a person when I talk about it, as in "Vicki and I went rolling around town the other night", "Vicki is acting up today and is being a bit cranky", "Vicki stubbed her toe on a rock in Moab."
