Well, depending on if it's running at the time or not, I have named ALL of mine "POS" at one time or another!

I have used the name "Adams' Apple" on all of my previous race cars, starting with the '58 MGA I had. (It was small block/PG powered, and had a 'Vette IRS in it.)
The '74 is now Adams' Apple...
My last name being Adams, and da cars being red...just makes sense.
Now...Mama's '85...it gets called a LOT of names...

I call my C3 "The Greypoupon Mustard Car" because that's what the Riverside Gold looks like.  Big%20smile  Sometimes she's the "Gold Thang" or when she acts up, she's the "B _ _ _H."  My C5 (black vette) is a male and his name is "Otis."  Then, I have a '67 (garbage can green) V.W. Bug that's a male and his name is "Henry." Big%20smile
 
.........so do you think I'm CRAZY?!!??? Shocked

Collectively, they're referred to as "the pension plan". Mama seems to  think I'll support her in her (our) old age by selling them off. HAAAAA!!

The '81 is actually metalic silver but looks like primer from a distance, so I call it "Stealth" 'cause it doesn't catch the eyes of the law like a yellow or red one might. I feel a little less obvious out there on the road.

Ours is called 'Queen in honor of "Lightnin' McQueen" from CARS.  Our 2.5 year old grandson named the Vette when he first saw it.  His pronunciation was a little butchered, but the jist of it -- 'Queen                   Big%20smile

OK, I can't sleep and I want to run up my post count.
My wife and I named her BMW little blue, our Black F350 diesel truck is the night train.  We always name our cars.  In the past I have had an old land cruiser called the beast or the land crusher, an old red ford pickup we called simple red, and a Monte Carlo my wife refered to as the other woman or the bi--h, depending on her mood.  As for the vette.  Mywife bought it while I was overseas fighting taliban.  I named it after her middle name, Angeline.

Does "POS" count as a nickname?
