Some address their truck as a SHE. Why cant we all specify all Disco as a HE? With the modifications and abuse that this thing encounters I think its appropriate we call it a HE. Vans or cars can be a she but not Land Rover Discovery. What do you guys think?

She, even if they have male names. All vechicles are shes for somewhat lewd reasons.

I've found no external genitalia (tailpipe notwithstanding - now there's a wealth of puns waiting to happen); so maybe "It" is more appropriate, but large sea-going vessels are always a "she", and my Disco handles like a boat, so I guess it's a "She".

I'm with Bluegill. All inanimate objects should be referred to as 'IT'. Although in my old country we refer to cars as 'IT' buildings as 'SHE', locomotives 'SHE' yet trains as 'HE', different machinery as 'HE' or 'SHE' or 'IT'. But guns are definitely 'SHE'. What can I say? And you thought NA was screwed up. :D
