This is just my thought. Guys in most cases have cars that are "she's". Even if the car has a name which alot of MINI owner give thier auto, it still tends to be a female name or non-gender. Some do give the auto a masculine name "due to the "bull dog" type of car a MINI is but still may refer to the car as a she. I can not speak for the female owners.
Vote and we may see. Our MINI is MiniMo - Mini for MINI and Mo for Maureen and is a she. Even my Ram is a she. Always needs tender care to look and run good. Never yell at the vehicles in fear that they might bite back. -s

Winnie is a whiny bit%$. She requires alot of attention and if you don't give her attention every fricken day she will fall apart. (also because if the mods she has the supercharger whine is loud)
Pepper is a she. I don't know how I knew, but I just knew. I wanted to give her a British name, and "Pippa" and "Pippi" stood out, but I decided that since she's black like Pepper, that I would name her Pepper.
My other car is a VW Rabbit, and is also a she. Her name is Bernie (short for Bernadette) the Bunny.

Bruto is a boy i guess, but sort of in that middle ground between being male and being non-gender. Bruto anagram for turbo and also spanish for brute.
Winnie is definitely a girl: good looking, opinionated, and a little bit high maintenance.

This is so interesting. As the votes come in it swings back and forth by only one vote for the MINI's being a he or she. So glad this was done. It changes my whole perspective of people and thier cars. And now to think the VP of USA could be a girl name too! WOW! This is cool. Glad she is a she/she! lol
