Default Corvette Names

My wife and daughter think I should name my car.

I have a 1980 L48 Coupe. The interior is red.

I would like to have your suggestions on what to call it.

Also, do you have a name for your car, if so, what is it?

Don't become so self-absorbed with the car, call it your "Vette" or the year, real spastic to name a car JMO

What?!
I think all of us are pretty self absorbed with our vettes. I know I am. Just look at this forum.
Name or don't name it, it's up to you.

I got personalized tags on my vehicles, but never named them. That felt dorky for me, but a lot of guys do it.

Bike tag 1H0TEV0 means 1 HOT Evolution
truck ZZTEX, I am a Texas kinda guy

I haven't named it, but I sure have called it a few when It wasn't running right, or burning my hand on the exhaust, or bashing my knuckles while working on it...

Well, you get the picture...
