Gender

[Fletcher]

Is the 02 He, She or It?  Or is it variable? 

['76mintgrün'02]

No.

[tech71]

"It" is a machine. Gender assignment is at the owners preference and in this political climate, peril.

[TobyB]

'they'

 

t

pronouns:  I, me, MINE!

[Vicleonardo1]

Just give it a name with no gender associations: 

 

Pat, Tracy, Chris, Danny, Leslie, Beverley, Toby.....

 

But please do what you wish. This is 'Merica.....Call it whatever you like. 

 

 

 

OK, OK,, Vic also.... My wife's name is Vikkie... (Yes, Victor and Victoria)....

PS Even though I am proudly 1/2 redneck, I did not marry my sister....

Never named a car or gave it a gender

[Mike Self]

I've always named my cars--goes back to a college friend who named his Fiat 500 Nuova "Luigi", followed by a small-window VW named Rommel and a Porsche named Der Mittywagen.   And I had a boat as a kid in Ft Lauderdale, so naming just came naturally

 

I name my BMWs for German (or Germanic) composers:  Wolfgang, Ludwig, Johannes, Georg Fredrich.  My other cars have names typical to their country or origin:  Anatole, Pierre and Bridgette for my Renaults; Benito and Luigi for my Fiats, and Kermit for my Bugeye Sprite.  All male except Bridgette, a '56 convertible, so named for Bridgette Bardot, whose first American movie came out the same year.  And a convertible just has to be a "she."   Wife's Toyota is an appliance--no name.  And my pickup truck is Wilkie, so named because I bought it in Rushville IN, hometown of Wendell Wilkie...

Doesn't a car have to have more than 500 hp to name it after a guy?

..Bruno...Max..Thor...

Duly noted.

I will have to tell my friend of the XX gender that she is spelling her name incorrectly.

Ships are named mostly lady titles

military ships for our hero’s and homes

now days it’s become a effort to to find a name 

that’s not already taken.

[tomphot]

Mine are called - The BMW - The 356 - The 911 etc.  Never have done anything more than that. 
I do name my dogs!
