I haven't thought up a name for my 2000, but I used to call my 91 "That red POS, sitting out there in the driveway"

My friends call mine "Big Red" although the original owner is named "Christine" so that would seem appropiate although the missus may not like that one.
But no, mine does not officially have a name.
If mine had a supercharger I would like "Jake" but it is too tame right now to deserve a name like that.
