Buuuut cars are a men thing aren't they? And yet it's la voiture...... Curious.......

See... You have to get into the mind of a straight man from the 1950s and ask yourself one of 2 questions: Is this a woman's thing? Or would I fuck this thing? Cars are considered "beautiful" and "sexy" and therefore fuckable by a man. I hope this has been a good lesson in outrageous sexism.

If you can make mysoginistic jokes about it, then it works : men get in cars just like in women. => so it's "la"
