Have you named your Vette??

I've always liked the body style better than any other car, it's so curvy! So that's what I named my car - Curvy. Deb

This is an interesting thread. I expect next we will see "What gender is your car?" Actually, someone asked me that once: "Is it a he or a she?" I'm not even going to go there (yes, there is an answer to the question).

Usually, when speaking to others, I refer to them as #1 and #2. When driving, wiping, waxing, cleaning, paying for repairs, doing repairs, looking for parts, getting outdone at a show, getting "topped" in a discussion with a club member, when I hear a stone chip the paint, hear a new noise, etc., etc. - the car's name(s) is unprintable.

I especially liked "hi, maintenance"!

Hi
My 78 is named Beauty! She is my mistress.
When I tell my wife that I'm going to spend some
time with the other woman,she always insists that
she come along.

varoom said: My black 1980 is named Evette. One of my daughters named her since she was found online. ("High maintenance" and "Mistress" are a couple good ones, too) With her, it is a "love-hate" relationship, depending on her mood of the day! My wife sometimes refers to her as "the other woman"...close!

Each of the follwong are used in my house with some regularity:
"The Beast"
"The Toy"
"The Batmobile" (I thought I was the only one with that one!)
"Sunkist" (Bought her in Florida no less!)
Tried "Fergie" (with the Orange hair) but that never seemed to stick!

mine's "Babe" but she has been called a few unmentionable things especially when the horn button popped off or when the seat belts i just fixed refused to go back in but i'm still wavin and there ain't nothing like a c-3

I think all c3 are female, too many curves for a male.

As a 'kid' in the early '70s, I washed & waxed Vettes at a dealership; I figured when the day came that I finally OWNED a Vette, I have a name picked-out. I finally got my Black exterior/chrome OEM wheels/Red interior '82 Cross-Fire in May of '00, and I loved it(and still DO!!!). Additionally, it has the SAME paint-scheme as that of my idol, Dale Earnhardt! Try-as-I-might, I just CAN'T call this Cross-Fire, the World's Slowest Corvette, The INTIMIDATOR, so I just call it "my Black car" (my 12-second Z28 is Red). It ain't fast, but it sure LOOKS fast!!!

The ZR1 is named zippy chippy
and the 69 basket case is named butter cup

my old electron blue Z06 was nammed cookie monster
