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 red Vette is "Cherry Love" because she is the fulfillment of a 25 year passion. The Yellow Vette is the "Banana" (banana yellow with a black bumper).
Its funny, Ronda says that i cuss when i work on the banana, but coo when i work on Cherry. I just cant get mad at her, i have lusted after her sience i was Louis age, it would be completely wrong, i can understand where you are coming from Louis! |cheers|

Vette(s): 79 L82 auto other then the indego blue paint,headers with chambered exhust and rims its all unrestored original with 68000 mi
My youngest always says the "quartervette" My wife says its fitting because it doesn't nickle & dimes, it quarters me to death.I can honestly say I have never cursed at the vette yet. It's never left me standed and the few things I have needed to replace all have been normal maintaince items and were done with out problems. Except one, recharging a/c then it was those (edited) gosh darn stupied freken CHEVY engineers they couldn't change a light bulb with out making it an all day project. With me being a life long Mopar man I have always hated Chevys except CORVETTES so I refuse to acknowlage that a Corvette is related to Chevy till something goes wrong then it's just bad genes. |laugh|

Vette(s):
SOLD - "The Toy" - '70 Convertible
SOLD - "The Beast" - '90 ZR-1 (#682)
SOLD - "Betty" - '28 Ford Model A Tudor
SOLD - "BLKBRRD" - '78 Pontiac Trans Am
"BLUBYU" - '04 Coupe
My bride first named it "Erma" becuz' of the letters in the original plates that arrived. After getting the personalized plates "The Toy" started to get used more often and has stuck (at least from my standpoint anyway |laugh| ).

My two children named mine the "BATMOBILE" while the tag says 1972LT1, the Batmobile continues to haunt crininals from my "batcave" (which I seem to spend a lot of time in lately!) |devil|

Vette(s): 2004 Commemorative Edition Coupe, Auto w/HUD. 13K miles in 2015. Sold 1982 Red Coupe
I've only owned mine since April, so I haven't come up with a name yet.
Been kicking around the obvious like RED DEVIL, RED RIDER, CHERRY, MONEY PIT, AND RED ROCKET, but nothing really jumps out and grabs me.
Maybe when I add some graphics in the spring it will hit me.
Right now I call her moth balls (winter storage).
