Re: OT: Does anyone else name their car? (killervette666)
I had a 1995 z07 for a time that we named the Jelly Donut (white with Red interior)
Now I have a '68 yellow/black that I have for the time being named "Paige" - why? Paige is the hottest damn bartender in Richmond(I also grew up with her), and the vette is just like her - Loud and fast..... :lolg:

Yeah I have to agree with some of the above. I can't say all the names I have called it, but lately its been refered to as "The B$tch". I still ove my car though. Other names include, the batmobile, the money pit, Blue Lightning, the p3nis mobile, and the one my father likes to use, Cockroach.

Long story short - I was gonna give my car a female name, but when i bought her, she was way out of tune, and sllloooooowww. We started calling her the Blue Slug as a joke. Once I got her tuned up (now she's just slow), the name was stuck, and i couldn't get used to calling her anything else.
For the record, all cars were female until recently. The C5, and now GM trucks and SUVs have the D river Information Center. I figured they can't be girls if they got those. Plus, it makes for fun at the dealer. "What are you bringing it in for?" "My DIC's broke." :rofl:

I certainly call our 78 a few names when things arenÂ’t going well! Christine comes to mind!:D But, Mystic Meg might be appropriateÂ… it definitely seems to know when IÂ’ve mentioned to anyone how a particular aspect is going well or has remained trouble freeÂ…Â…. The next day that part stops or breaks! :(

Re: OT: Does anyone else name their car? (Stephen Irons)
I don't normally name vehicles (except when fixing them) but since my wife shut her thumb in the door it's been named "The Crusher". Unfortunately, when it comes up against TVRs & them there new Jags it fails to crush :( But I'm working on it.......
