My brother tends to come up with names for his cars, but I generally  
don't

I have "the MG" and "the Scooby".

However, my coworkers and friends all feel that names for cars are  
important, so the MG is also known as Penny Lane, and the Subaru is  
also "the Outbike" (they wanted to refer to her as the Babyback, but  
I wasn't having it).

However, while I don't generally refer to them by name, I refer to  
both with gender. Both cars are most certainly "she".  Regarding the  
MG, she knows when I get paid too.
