I have a time machine at home. It only goes forward at regular speed. It's basically just a box with the words "time machine" written on it in sharpie.

True, unless it's a really low mass black hole.

At least until the black hole evaporates via Hawking radiation.

They have a volume in the sense that the event horizon has a diameter. We're not sure that an actual singularity can exist, because the volume within the event horiron is unobservable, it's effectively outside our universe.

A black hole need not have infinite density. All you need is for a given mass to occupy a volume smaller than its Schwarzchild radius (at least in the case of a non-rotating uncharged black hole). In fact supermassive black holes, such as those found in the centers of galaxies can have densities lower than that of water.
