My car it's a ... car. Why would I want to make a human of it? Oddly, I know people who call their cars (and other things) by human name, or assign genders. Kinda strange to me...
Where I come from things are things, not people.
It's a holdover from old sailing tradition, where ships were always female. And considered the sailor's true wives.
Also from romance languages where gender was/is assigned to things. Look at French or Italian descriptions of cars, ships, and airplanes. Le or La is genderization of the word "the" when put in front of a noun.
My 911 turbo is definitely a girl, certainly has the hips going for her!
Our SUV is just a beast, 550hp and 560 ft lbs of torque in a 5000lb vehicle doesn't seem feminine at all, which I guess is why my wife gets lots of weird looks when people see her get out of it LOL.
My sedan could be either, but I only refer to the 911 as female.

Oh, for crying out loud. Lighten up just a little bit.
Not everything has to be serious and intellectual.
My Scout? Definately a guy. Scout-Beast is his unofficial name. In fact, what most people think is the smell of gasoline and 90 weight is actually the smell of testosterone..
What year Scout? I've owned both a 800 and a Scout II.
On topic, I've never assigned a sex to my vehicles and have never understood the propensity to do so.
Not to say that I'm not fond of them though. So, come to think of it they've got to be females.

I call my 2017 Ford Explorer "The Donald", after Trump. While I did not vote for him nor do I like him, the market going wild in 2016 allowed me to profit and sell some stocks to pay cash for the car in Feb 2017.
