Yesterday my wife said to me with a very serious expression on her face, " I saw you driving in your car" , she than said " you look real hot". But she wasn't smiling when she said it. I joke and say, " you like that huh?" Then it appeared like she was trying to burn me with some kind of lazer vision .

I'm laughing and she's not laughing and I say " you should give the vette a nickname". She says I'm not naming that damn car!!!! Then while I'm walking away she says, I'll call that thing ...the other woman..

Don't really recall exactly where, when , or who named my car Brutus. I think it was my 6 year old at the time. My wife also calls it the other woman.

My vette doesn't really have a name, but my Dad's vette was always J-Lo, because he said she had a big, pretty butt.
