I just got my first real car, and I am having trouble thinking of a name for it. It is a metallic grey BMW Z4. Do any of you have any suggestions for names?

Or . . . since you’re having trouble with a name you could just leave it nameless like the other 186 million cars that have no name. Besides, the manufacturer gave it one.

While I respect your right to attempt to anthropomorphize your machine by giving it a name, I still find it completely assinine to do so. It’s a freakin’ machine.  
Got a nme for your toaster? Any clever nickname for your gas grill?
