    "One lady owner" in adverts is such a cliche that I'm surprised people even bother with it these days. I appreciate that it's intended to conjure up the image of a kindly middle-aged woman who treats her car in the same manner as she would treat her child but it is overused to the point where I question if men even own cars any more! :D
