We have a SUV, a truck and a jeep along with our Corvette. I call the Corvette "The Car" the jeep I call "The Jeep", The truck I call "The Truck" and the SUV is "The SUV". I'm very creative. Sometimes I take the wife riding in the car and we leave the kids at the house.

My dad's 68 was always called "Charlie's Toy", since '72 at least. Now that's she's mine the name will most likely eventually change.

My '75 has been called Lil Red or the beater vette depending on how I'm feeling that day.

We name all our car's these days. I never did but the wife started it with her 05 Caddy STS she got for Christmas in 04. She named him George from the the Bugs Bunny cartoon with the snow monster. So now she has named them all!

thot about "Phoenix " as any 39 year old car has been sorta raised from the ashes to fly again..
or maybe "Last Lady"..
Wife and I prolly won't have another special mate in this life.All the good years wife and I have spent together..don't think anyone else could put up with me..:0
And don't think We'll ever buy another fun vehicle...My own life expectancy is measured in weeks now since brain surgery and radiation-chemo for a glioblastoma multiforma IV brain tumor..But hope to take a few more pleasant rides in the Corvette, before I depart.Jim

"Ditch Witch" because that's where I put her the first time I dumped the clutch in first and second. That quickly changed to "Hard to work on piece of $hit" first time I crawled under her. Now it is "Expensive overly complicated Bitch". We are still talking about women, right?

I've never named any of my cars, but my daughter has me thinking about it. She has a white jeep and calls her "Monroe" as in Marilyn with the white dress.
So I tend to go from the color and something fun. My 71 is Maroon Metallic so I'm probably going with "Roonie"
For the OP, since your car is silver, I was thinking "HiYo" as in "Hiyo Silver and Away..."

The Vette or She. My sister named it Stacy...not sure why but OK. About 3 weeks ago when the carb decided to act up and fuel was being dumped into it she was quickly called a few other choice names. All is well now and the original two names above have been reinstated.

I named my 77 Lynette.
I hate the alliteration of "Lynette the corvette" but I just had to. she is named after Lynette who paced me the last 50 miles of my first 100 mile run in Leadville CO. She was and still is strong and fast.

hum, 
I had to think,
I never named a car, one would think I would, I dont get into fruit tags like "cherry" "lemon" or herbs like "mint" with cars either..
my buddy had a 80 mustang they called the musk rat I thought that was cute,
one of my all time favorite c3's is called "hammerhead" if you know the car then you know it fits perfect, mean nasty c3 looks like it will eat ya if you get too close...
My wife just calls our car "the vette" I call it the "69" ...
Geez, I need to come up with a colorful name for that mess of a car.
No, bats POS is too boring....
