But not in a bad way, listen up.
I just got back in from a late-ish night drive through the hills, forests, and small villages nearby and this car saved my ass.
I was taking a corner entirely too fast with wet roads, we've all done it, and the traction control butted in and stopped my seemingly inevitable crash into the rock wall. And the worst part is that I was kinda pissed about it. I went a little up the road and decided I had to do it again and get it right this time. I turned the traction control off essentially letting the FiST know that "hey, I got it this time around" and I did, flawless turn, I slid a bit but I pulled through and I'm pretty sure it made me look like a badass.
But back to the title, the FiST isn't a dainty lady-car, he's always down to have a good time but he will stop you if you're getting a little out of hand. But there is the other side where he is completely willing to let you do your thing if you're confident enough. I fucking love this car, and he finally earned his name after 2727 miles, welcome Henry.

I'd be interested to see how many oppos have given their cars male names vs female names. I call my car Big Girl or Baby Girl.

I think that's somehow related to one's native language... In english, the term car has no gender, it's an "it", so it's not uncommon for english speaking countries to use female names, but in portuguese, for example, there's no "it". Every noun has a gender and car is a male noun, so cars are often referred by "he" in Brazil and get male names.

OR you could just apply one of those new fangled unisex names.
