Thanks, that picture was taken shortly after I got the car in 2002. Bailey loved riding in any car but especially the Corvette with the top down.

My '67 has been "The TOY" since '75 carrying the tag TOY-1. Although, when my daughter was about 3 or 4, she called it "Boom boom" because of the side exhaust sound. Dennis

I really don't name anything, but one day when I had to drive my 63 in a heavy downpour, I jokingly told my buddy I was going to pick up that I would be in the "Red Rain Barrel" and it sort of stuck.

I have not given my vehicles names since the 60 - my buddy called my '59 the Red Rooster after a Rolling Stones song, and my '67 was Mellow Yellow.

But this thread makes me think, somehow. The '92 is already "the Vette". Since my '64 spent the last 10 to 20 years - they were not sure exactly how long - unmoving in the back corner of a garage, what else can I call it except "Sleeping Beauty"?
