Default Corvette nicknames

I've heard a lot of nicknames for cars, including Corvettes, over the years, but my neighbor came up with my favorite. I live on a farm out in the country in northern VA, so it is usually quiet here. When I start up my 68 BB convert, the rumbling exhaust noise apparently carries a fair distance. While chatting over the fence with my neighbor today he remarked that he heard me start up my "deep-throated girlfriend" the other day. I'm not certain he realized the double entendre of that name, but I kind of like it.

Had a GF used to call my white '77 "the big white p _ _ _ s car". She didn't much like it.

Default exhaust sound


Since we're talking about the exhaust sound, here's the rear end.

I should take a video with sound, now that I have my mean-sounding cam installed.

My wife calls my 1970 "the mistress" since I have spent so much time working on it. My 1995 is the *****, cause it takes everything I give it and is always ready to go.

They could be called your 'Ex-wife Car' because you're never finished paying for them.

I dont have anything that racy

My dad called his avanti his old friend,

On vettes a recall when every nickname had "thunder", "shark" or both in them, lol.

My buddies called my custom 66 devil ray,

My 69 is what some would call a mutt or more colorful "frankenvette", but that is overused and was the docs not the creatures name so i think i will call my 69 the monster or the mutant.....

All of my cars have names.

The '52 Pontiac is "The Chief".

The '80 El Camino is "Vader".

The '72 Corvette is "Yvette".

Have a best friend whose brother-in-law at that time was a mechanic at the local Chevy dealer. He told us back then they called a Vette a "Plastic Bastard" because none of them wanted to work on them :-D
