We love our 480s; they have personality and it seems impossible simply to call them "it", but is it a he or a she?
I reckon it's normal - for blokes at least - to refer to cars, like ships, as female. But most women I know think ther cars are male. Now, I can see there may be plenty of scope for subverted sexual fantasy and outrageous gender-stereotyping here (he's stubborn / I never know what she'll do next etc etc) - and far be it from me to discourage such meaty discourse...

But apart from that, is your 480 a bloke or a lass? a fellow or a Lady? a geezer or a chavette? a girl or a boy?
Or is it some other genderless species that is too evil to name???
To start us off: Sheba, my Paris ES is/was definitely a lady. A somewhat faded old lady with a twinkle in her eye and a taste for leather.
Tonee I assumed was also a girl but I am beginning to think s/he may be a bit of a tomboy. Nothing wrong with that but it came as somehting of a surprise, that's all. And I now I have to change the spelling from Toni (too girly) to Tonee to match. Wierd, huh?
Maybe I just have too much time on my hands.
