Z4MC needs a new nickname

Back when I had an SBM M coupe my wife and her friends referred to it as the batmobile. The name suited me just fine. Well I now have an interlagos coupe so that nickname doesn't really fit anymore.

The closest I've come to a clever nickname this time around is "The Bloupe," a name I refuse to share irl for fear of it sticking.

So fellow z4ites, what nicknames have you given your rides?

Big fail if you cannot come up with a name for your own car. The name must fit YOUR personality. Not ours....

Mine is called Gianna... Even my wife calls it that, tongue-in-cheek though and rolls her eyes.... but she does call it that.

Being a Doctor Who fan, and as my car is blue and surprisingly roomy for a small car, I used to call it The Tardis. And that goes nice with the Tenth Doctor's fave saying: "Allons-Y!"

But I've since changed it to "Tina". Shortly after I got the car, I turned on the radio and the FM station was playing Tina Turner's "You Better Be Good to Me". Then, after I got the car back from the dealer after having a few things fixed under and outside warranty, including installing a nice OEM wind deflector, I turned on the radio and it was playing Tina Turner's "Simply the Best".

So. Tina it is. Allons-Y!

My girlfriend named mine Layla because she says it will bring me to my knees....haha but I agree, your car has her own personality and therefore needs her own name!

I called mine Senna,

Tribute to my all time favorite F1 driver,
I have this sticker hidden on the inside of the car


I found it fitting due the paint being Imola red and sadly that's where the track was located where he died


And this was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy before that movie came out and everyone thinks hes cool now,
Senna this, Senna that, Everyone wants to talk to me about someone they never knew or watched like they are an expert because they watched a one sided film,
Bitch please,

My blue vw was the blu hippo, due to its tiny mirrors. The m3 didn't quite match that name, even though the mirrors were even smaller.

Just give it a name that sticks, like "The Duck" or something equally ridiculous.

Mine's got no name. The only car I've ever owned that had enough personality to rate its own name was my classic Rolls-Royce, called Bertram (Bertie for short).

Off-topic, but I worked with a guy that was lifelong friends with him, they did karting together as kids. He had a signed helmet in his living room.

My daughter gets a kick out of that every time. Unless she's tired in which case it makes her cry.

I would call mine TARDIS but my electric car is already called TARDIS [see the parking spot for the TARDIS below ] and so my ride is simply called Roadster for now.
