When people get a little too excited by it, I am known to say, "IT'S JUST A USED CAR."

My wife calls ours 'The baby " I call it Jill after a friend of mine She was born in 78 ). So I guess it will be developing a split personality and need therapy . Any suggestions on what kind of therapy ? Pampering? drive it like I stole it ?

Hi, Gary.
I'm thinkin' wring her out like your head's on fire and your a _ _ is catchin'. The car, that is.
Remember, cars are like women . . . both respond to touch. You should be gentle with both, but you can only punch one. The wise man knows which is which.
Here endeth the lesson.

The wife nicknamed her "Black Goddess", I like to call her "Carl Lewis" because she quit running.

I call it the "Money Pit", I am the original owner and the car sat in the back of the garage for many years...
Put her back together in 2001... after 3 years.... well
the "Money Pit" lives up to it's name.
It is a 77 Vette!

Vette(s): 1969 convertible L71 427/435 4-speed black interior
I have a '67 Dodge Charger I refer to as the "Money Pit", but have better names for my Vettes. My '78 Silver Anniversary I call the "Silver Bullet" and my '69 roadster 427/435 I have two nicknames for..."Stumpy" as it could pull tree stumps with its 4.11 rear, and the "Mongoose" since a Mongoose kills Cobras.
