My wife Kathy refers to my Vette as the Mistress once in a while, does that count?

Well the Blacray is sort of self explanitory, Funny thing is I picked somehow up the nickname "Tux" from the car. So nowadays most folks on the site and in person refer to me as Tux... (which is fine with me.)
My wife named our 01 vert "Blizzard" because most pf the time round home it only gets driven to Dairy Queen for ..... yep you guessed it that cool ice cream treat.....

Vette(s): 1969 convertible L71 427/435 4-speed black interior
I refer to my '69 427/435 as "Stumpy", since with its 4.11 rear, it could pull tree stumps.
Wife named ours "The Lady" the day I brought her home. She said she was "refined, had a great body and looked like she had poise and personnality". Been callin her the Lady ever since.

My wife calls it "the car" sarcastically. She also refers to it as "the bathroom" since I took a loan out to buy the car & not redo my master bath.
I call her the Black Thorne, since she refers to it as "the thorne in her side."
She was never happy with me just bringing the car home one day without her permission (what am I ,,,,5?).
Basically, she hates it.

I bought mine almost 8 years ago,and still havent gotten around to naming her -him yet.most of the time I just call her "the Baby''except when I'm bent over the hood or crawling under neath for hours at a time wrenching on her,then other names come to mind,you'all know zactly what I'm talkin about

"Adams' Apple" was a name I came up wid years ago for a '58 MGA I built as a drag car. The name has been used on every red car I've had since then...
Mama named her '85 "Katmobile"...
Basically, we simply refer to the Corvettes as "your" Vette or "my" Vette...
