Default What did you name your Corvette

I watch and Love Street Outlaws and everyones got a kool name on that show. Like "Murder Nova" "Farmtruck" "Monza" " Big Chief"
I really like Murder Nova for a cars nickname but have always named mine "Betsy"

I've never been one to name my cars before, but when I got my Corvette, I knew that was going to change.

I finally settled on Margret.

It's been a long running joke between my wife and I. Margret was always the name she used for my (non-existent) mistress. Spending too much time with Margret used to mean I was working late too often. Now she means it literally.

Funny mine was almost the same but was with my now Ex. Betsy was always her joke for the woman that always a sure thing that stole her time. She did love betsy thou because good old betsy always sacred the crap out of her and get her excited at the same time. That always worked for both of us

What have you named yours?
My 88 C4 is 'REBEL' (Great American Name)... My Harley is 'Bogie' (Humphry Bogart - Fan of Bogie)... Sports bike is 'Sticky' (fast and sticks to the road like glue) ... the family car is 'Betty' (Cute and new - Mitsubishi Lancer) ...

On my prior 35th I had her "name" on the hatch glass "65Z01"; this one would have to be 653Z01, somehow just not the same "ring" though.

I call her "Phoenix", for reasons apparent...

Oh! This picture got me excited...She's close to rebirth now!

What have you named yours?
I named my 94 LT1 vert "Moe":

'cause she has MOE horse power,
Moe cubic inches,
Moe torque,
Uses Moe gas,
and costs Moe to insure..
and Moe to repair,
But I love her Moe than any car I have had!

Here is the car that game me my screen name



Because ever since I ground off every other tooth off the syncros. I would never let the gas off the floor from the line with that 4spd.
I'll tell ya guys this. That 1970 440-6pac 4spd car was mean and was always one of the top competitors and I would always be swapping in my 1968 426 Hemi in all my Road Racing and Drag Runs for over 20yrs but this baby, Alice


with no horsepower and just a decent amount of Torque bested any of my lap times. Ever and of course my C5 Z06 Betsy was 10 times the Cuda overall in everything. Hands down

I dont normally name my cars either but sometimes they end up earning I nickname. My 91 is "Number 5" Its the fifth engine combo and made up of part from various other corvettes.

I've called mine many names, mostly when something breaks.
