Thus, he uses the preposition "with" to express the use of his life.

Some people do assign gender to objects. This is most common with cars. This is because they feel a close connection to it. But it's not common for a lot of inanimate objects like a carpet.

So using "he" is appropriate within this context. Ex: She's a beauty! What model of a car is she? Ex: Your dog is so cute. What's his name?
