so idk if other people do this but my family has a tradition where we name our cars.
i just got a small 2013 toyota prius and its silver. i can’t think of anything to name it sooooo.
its very special to me (duh) so i want it to have a good name :)

Naming something. Is like getting a call sign in the military. It isn't some yahtzee thing. You gotta earn it. And the more embarrassing the better.

We don’t name ‘em.
Just makes it harder when it’s time to say goodbye.

Rather than pay a lot of money for vanity plates with the car’s name I name the car from the randomly assigned license plate . I had a ‘73 Volvo FJR- named Frieda. When PA said my Subaru Baja needed a truck plate it came in ZLS-*. I took one look at it and thought “Zealous— sounds like an old British navy ship.” I looked it up and there have been three of them, one was the first purpose built steamship in the Royal Navy. Now mine is the 4th.

Being so special to you: Precious (in Gollum’s voice though)

Nope, names are special things so you've got to pick it. I use alcohol as inspiration so I've got Skyy, Brandy, Goose, and Patrón. The first two are motorcycles and needed stripper names, Goose is a project that's gonna honk, and I can barely stand both tequila and the truck.
