There was a big ol' thread with pages and pages of names some time back- you should find a few good ones- and a few horrific ones- in that thread.

Ugh!! Just call it "car" and be done.
If that name is taken in your driveway, call it "car 2" or something else that distinguishes it from the others.

My car is just "the bmw" or "the bimmer". It's the only one in the driveway.
Sometimes it's just called "my car" because I'm the primary driver.
Anything more than that is just silly. IMHO

I'm sorry to break it to you but I think you're taking it a bit to seriously. It's a car and it is an "it"

Seriously? Isn't that a bit too anthropomorphic?

Mine looks just like yours, but it's a lot cleaner. I just call "it" the "BMW."

I see why this forum has next to zero traffic... every response comes with a small jab here, slight insult there... everyone is better than the next...

Your car is cleaner... good for you...

Sorry you feel that way.

There's actually quite a bit of traffic on this forum. Serious questions, get serious answers. Yours just didn't seem that way to me and, if you can't take an honest response with some light hearted ribbing about your car needing a wash, I don't think you'd be comfortable on any public forum.

OBTW, I've already been handily ridiculed and insulted here on this board regarding my recommendation of the ExhaustMeister, but I'm still here despite that.

OP, everyone takes a jab here and there, it's all in good fun. Don't take it so seriously. Btw, here's a name: "Otto".

I was under the impression that strict protocol required you to name your car after the playboy bunny of the month, pertaining to the month you take delivery/purchase your car.

Link for reference.
I guess mine is called "Britany Nola"....huh...

no, its just 'majority' of the owners here aren't young would be my first guess, and naming a car usually tends to be a Kid thing, or a female thing.
