Masculine v Feminine

My totally badass new-to-me Land Rover Discovery II Kalahari Edition. The guy who sold it to me warned me about 7,000 times (k, probably just 15) that it was a “masculine” car. It’s very “manly,” he said in a concerned tone, thinking of the attention his son got in it and probably also the sic…

Everyone loved them. They’re only $75!…
