Curious minds wanna know -- have you named your Vette?
My wife thinks I'm crazy (you'd think that after 37 years she would know!) because I always name each of my cars, especially the unusual ones.
Anywho, our latest vette is "Penny." While I say it is because she is a redhead or cost me a pretty one, mama says it is because a bad penny keeps coming back (this is old vette #3 and she didn't particularly care for any of them; they scare her).
If you can't sleep at night or wanna run up your post count 
let us know what yours is called (and why).

I don't, but my wife used to. She bought a 92 Toyota Tercel new in 92 and named it Floyd (we didn't meet until 98, so I take no responsibility). We got rid of that car in 2002. Good little car and it's still going strong for the new owner.

Vette(s): 1969 convertible L71 427/435 4-speed black interior
I refer to my '78 SA alternately as either the "Silver Bullet" or the "Gray Ghost". My '69 427/435 I refer to as either "Stumpy" since with its torque and 4.11 rear it could pull tree stumps, or "The Mongoose" since a Mongoose will kill a Cobra, but "Stumpy" is my more common name for it.
I call the '70 "The Toy" and the '90 ZR-1 "The Beast". Most of the others in the family fleet have nicknames as well.

Vette(s): 1975 Stingray Nomad Wagon, with Daytona front, custom hood scoop, dual side vents; 420HP 350; Doug Nash 5 speed; 1980 rear end W/4:11 gears; Cherry Red metallic paint.
My custom one is simple: Cherry Love. The color is cherry red, it has cherries on it (interior and exterior. Considering the engine bay), and the wife says: its his ONLY love.
The stock one, we simply call the "Yellow Vette". Its promised to a 12 y.o. girl, and she cant come up with a name for it yet, her name will stick on it. Right now, she just calles it "MINE!"
