'The Date Mobile', because 90% of the time it's driven, the wife and I use it as our dating vehicle, providing the weather cooperates of course.

The PO put a name on mine in the showroom when he bought it. It's called Pure Sex. The po even had a tag made for it. So my wife and I keep it the same. At shows people take pictures by the car just to have the tag in it.Then there is times when little kids just learning to read stop in front of my car and try to sound it out. Until the parents pull then away.

Not really named her, but 94.6% of the time I call her "Baby" and the other 5.4% she is the "B...."

I love this, the F-4 is so awesome ! As someone who hopes to go into Naval Aviation upon commissioning, I can truly appreciate this!

Just like to say. in USA, or any other inglish speaking countrys a car or a plane, are female, gramaticaly speaking, but in spanish a car, or a plane is a male. so with that out of the way, I call my vette

LA BESTIA.

wich is very interesting since "LA" is a spanish preposition used in general for a female, but in this specific case is use as a male pronoun.

hope i did not boring you, I know i was......

I call mine the chariot when it's working, and "what next" when it is having problems.

My '92 is called C4orce2. Its builder, Kim Madsen, and Alan Colvin (former editor of Corvette Fever) agreed that it would be the second car in the C4orce Project started by Alan when he was with the magazine. Unfortunately by the time the car was complete Corvette Fever was out of publication and Kim Madsen passed away 6 months later. I decided to go ahead and keep the name even though the C4orce Project seems to be dead. C4orce2 has a LS3 Hot Cam (GMPP LS376/480) crate engine, there was to be an article in Corvette Fever about its build, and the car was to be shown at SEMA an other shows to demonstrate how LS3s could be installed in C4s while saving the digital functions.
