I sometimes call mine the "Plastic Pig" but she knows I'm kidding. My wife has been know to call her a P. O. S.

I once said "good bye baby" when I left her in the DFW parking garage. I was overheard and the guy looked at me like I was .

well i am joking about naming it. I just don't want my friends to start calling it something stupid mostly. And as a point of clarification on the hammer and sickle picture. I am a pilot, and that is the symbol for "Aeroflot" which is the soviet airlines. So its a joke with me and my friends. cheers,

Yeah, I'd say weird pretty much covers it.

I'll bet Ferarri owners don't name their cars.

Nonsense, any car with as much personality as mine deserves a name Mine is called Fiddlers Green, being a former US Cavalry Officer. FG is where all Cav Troopers stop for a cool drink of water on the way to heaven anyway its better than Bob, and my registration says 68 chev coupe, what kind of name is that

BLACKHORSE!!!!!

Actually, yes it's OK if the factory does it.

When Vette owners do it, they should get free keys to the trailer park.

Now i have no problem with that name persay. But, its clearly an old lady name, and i think it deserves better.
So i ask you, help me find a name before the old lady name becomes permanant!
thanks,

You could name it after Vettebuyer5869 and name her "Negative Nancy".
