My mother's (later my) 1965 Chevy Impala, which she painted (to borrow
an apt phrase from a beloved writer) violent purple once when my dad was
out of town, had a non-gender name (the Purple Bomb), but we always
called her a "she."

My little red 1992 Civic is the Jellybean (from the way most modern cars
look like they've all been through a rock-polisher, with no sharp edges
at all), but it's an "it."
