How about "Red"?
I'm so helpful -- but that's what I called my red Silverado. Big Red.

Me Too!! O-H!!!! ..... 
New to the forum, so hello all!
I think all cars/motorcycles should have names as most have personalities:
Trinity - '77 L48 C3 -Black/built for bracket drag- (divine 3=motor, tranny and rear)
Cameron - '89 IROC-Z -Maroon-
Rocco - '04 Grand Cherokee Limited -Black/4.7L HO-
Biff - '87 F150 -white + rust-
Boodrow - '91 Olds Cutlass Station Wagon
Christy - '91 Cavalier RS -blue/3.1L+5 speed-
The Snob - '85 Honda Sabre V65 1100 (nose is always straight up in the air
)
Yet to be decided:
'08 C6 base -black ext on black int, tinted side/rear glass, orig chromie wheels, borla catback w/circular tips-
I've narrowed it down to Sybil or Lexi. I like Sybil cuz the car definitely has multiple personalities (happy as a clam competing on the track, just as happy cruising slow as my DD), but Lexi fits too. Suggestions?

Oh, right, I forgot to post in this thread. Decided on a name for my Admiral '94: Ira
Wanted the name to be simple and inspired by something US Navy ("Admiral" blue) and I've always been interested in WW2. Came across a list of ships and noticed a high speed destroyer escort named Ira Jeffery. That just seemed too perfect (high speed vessel, and my name is Jeffrey - close enough
).
When I told my wife I finally named her (Ira) after the other few ideas, she said, "Oh, I like that a lot. Its perfect."

Team Owner
Bought and sold in less than 6 months, right after I replaced the
driver's floor-board (seat track fell through the pan), and re-painted it.
Only 3 years old, but the biggest POS we ever owned.
I've had a few other cars with some choice names, but not the kind of names one effectionately calls objects.
