Fortunately, I don't hang around anyone who would think my cars have names.

Recently spoke to the original owner's 51 year-old son, who called it "The Banana." I would never call it that....

I'm kind of lucky. I bought my Vette before I even met my wife. 1969 Coupe. Color is Lemans Blue. Original owner and named her "Baby Blue" and still talk to her and she responds with the pleasant tones from her side exhaust.

Then I met my wife. Married in 1973. Again, original owner. I call the wife "Honey Bun" and still sleep with her but for some reason don't talk as much with her.

If she ever read this, I probably would be sleeping with "Baby Blue".

I wouldn't mind.

Mine is named "Drizzt". Named after a character in a series of books.
Though sometimes I call it the "Drizzit". If you read the books you would know why :P
