This is kinda funny for me because 'kattengat' is dutch for 'cathole'. (And we Dutch people know how to make stuff like this happen.)
It depends on what you can replace before it becomes a different car. And with a different car I mean that it has a different persons consciousness.
Unless you say 'De deur staat open, doe je die even dicht?' It avoids having to learn those stupid genders.
