Gender Protocol (was Tires)

[dave lowry]

"Dave, One point of GMC protocol: GM built all of these units as FEMALES.
Please try to refer to them in the feminine gender only.
Dick 75 PB (a grand lady) in Atlanta"

Dick; Not Ours!

The accepted nick name for a GMC has always been "JIMMY", not "JAMIE".
Further, if my much better half, who does nearly all the driving, is happy
with SIR JAMES, I'm not about to challenge her. Admittedly, ours is a
cantankerous old f--t, but he certainly is no lady.

In deference to protocol, I generally refer to most other's GMCs as ladies
to preclude reactions such as yours. Remember, guys need TLC too.

As in much of life - timing is everything!

Couldn't resist!

I agree wholeheartedly, it is an it... a strikingly attractive and
classically elegant it!

Perhaps the gender neutral "it" makes sense.
But then, all our coaches DO have those "balls" in the CV joints... Hummmm?
