Default What's her name ???

...You know...That fiberglass piece of azzzz parked in your garage...

Actually, my daughter wanted to know what "my new girlfriend's" name was. I told her I hadn't named her yet. Any suggestions?

Name it after the old girlfriend you dream about at night...that way if you mention her out loud in your dreams, just say to your wife "I was thinking of driving my 'vette".

Well I guess women or little women think alike. My 78 Silver anniversary is named Silvette. Our 79 Black on Black is named Velvet.

I named mine Red Widow after finding a black widow living under the front right fender, near the radiator. Being that my Vette is red I found it suiting.

I dunno about naming the Vette, but I refer to our Jag as the "Green *****". Long hood, rounded tail...Yep.

I don't think I'll ever name the Vette, except to call it all sorts of swear words when the thing starts having problems (which, right now, is just about every time I try to work on it).

I'm thinking that I need to make a whole lot more money so that I can afford to pay someone else to do some of the work.

I wouldn't go down that road Brian with a "y" only kidding dude

Some guys name their cars, boats, toys and have vanity plates who cares. I don't but I also don't care who does. Most of my toys are referred to w/a four letter word. As long as you don't name your ***** and tell us what your little friend is called its all cool.
