Naming your (C4) Vette...
First off, I DO like the C4 Vette so I'm not here to bash. I had one and enjoyed it while I owned it but it didn't have what I was looking for in performance, looks and the availability to up the power when I choose to. So... off it went and it was replaced by a C5Z.
Anyway on to the reason for my post. Really... why do some people have a NEED to name their C4? I've heard it called "their mistress", the "other woman", "sweetie" etc... I hang out in the C5Z forum and I have yet to hear anyone name their Vette anything related to a chics name.
So what's your story if you are one who refers to your C4 as a female in anyway shape or form.

I have tried many times to name my car. Others come up with great names. I always feel stupid when I try. But I definitely wish I could. It's a member of the daily.

I have owned a lot of hot rods and never named them! Just called them what they were! The 29 Chevy. The 56 the 65! The 50! The 63! The Vette! But I have called my wife SEXKITTEN for 25 years!

I call it the beast.
Its loud, notchy shifting (but youll never get the wrong gear), rides rough, soft sticky tires fling rocks, exhaust sometimes smells bad, supercharger whine, climb-over-non-detachable 6 point roll cage sidebars and violent throw you back acceleration...

I cringe when the little girl with the expressive eyebrows in the Liberty Mutual Insurance commercial calls her car "Brad" and then goes on to tell the life story of "Brad". I'll give her something to do the "happy dance" about.

Now your getting closer to what I usually call mine except its red. The "B" word and many other choice curse adjectives. But if its nice I call it the "Red Sled". I have never understood why folks use common first names, female or male.

common in c4 but not in c5 it appears,
common in drag racing but you would never see a dirt track car named !
