I have a Saturn 3 door which Big Scary Man has been trying to replace for two years now - with a nice motherly mini van! Yuck! I turned down the offer of an SUV too. We're such old 'new' parents I can't see spending money on a car payment that can go to the retirment fund instead. We replaced the timing belt outselves this summer, I figure she's good for another two years.

But my last two cars have been female. I've had male cars - they broke down repeatedly. Both the saturn and the nissan before it felt like girl cars (as opposed to girly cars) from the moment I first sat in them, and both have been very dependable. I'm sure when the gender of the car comes into play when we finally shop for a replacement Big Scary Man is going to think I'm completely nuts.
