On the Gender of Automobiles
My New Beetle is named Rudolf, in honor of his inventor. A few people have been surprised because they conclude therefore that I think of my car as male. I do not; cars are genderless.
Cars have no need for gender; they are asexual parasites of the human social organism.

Thus, cars ensure that they will be individually long-enduring, wide-spread, and numerous.
