Why is it masculine?
Carro is masculine because it derives from Latin "carrus," which was itself borrowed from Celtic languages and was grammatically masculine in Latin, a gender that was preserved through the Romance language evolution into Spanish. The masculine gender stuck simply because Latin had already assigned it, with no particular semantic reason—it's largely a historical accident of language inheritance.
