I guess the thing that brings this topic to the forefront is all the pickups in this town running around with male genitalia hanging from the rear end of the undercarriage on those vehicles.


I fired up the old Honda Accord the other day and I get an idiot light on the dashboard glaring at me.    It puzzles me to know what those four letters mean but being the know it all male that I am,  I don't bother looking in the owners manual.  With a cell phone and the local car dealer in my address book, I'll just ring the service counter.   

I ask for the service counter.   I give him a heads up on the four letters glaring at me on the dashboard and he states my car is then indeed a female.   Who cares about that I said.    I chatted with him for a bit more and was wondering why, after 30,000 miles does the car want to let me in on this little secret.    He states that I obviously know what those four letters mean and I obviously did something in the recent past to initiate THAT  idiot light coming on.  

OK I said,  I did in fact do something recently that I knew would shoot an idiot light on in the cluster of dashboard lights, but I didn't expect the four letters tpms.   I'm not sure what the t stands for but every male in the world knows what pms stands for.   So this car is in fact a female.   If I'd have only known when I bought it.....

Does anyone know where I can obtain that little trinket to dangle under my Honda's undercarriage to show she is a female????
