Have you noticed that some of us refer to our A8's as "him" or "hers?" Ever thought about

why? What characteristics does your 8 have that determines what sex it is?
For me, Mr. Plum is a "he" because he is athletic, aggressive, is and looks powerful and is fast. A "girl" car for me would be cars like the Thunderbird, Lexus, all MB's (except the fast ones) and probably all Toyotas. What say you?

Make sure your tail-pipe's not dragging, or you'll give it away.

Default I guess I don't get the whole anthropomorphism thing...

I refer to my A8L as "my really cool boatmobile" or my "sporty land yacht". My wife still says "my god that thing's big". To bad I had to spend $70K+ to hear those words come out of her mouth ;-)

You should try meeting a fast girl Mr.Ricco! She might change your thinking about fast cars! :-)

LOL. Anyway, it's "it" for me. I don't know about English, but in French the word "car" is female.
