Do You Name Your Vette?
Not wanting to duplicate something someone's already done, I did a search of the archive titles and could not find any related to naming one's car.
So my querstion is: does your vette have a name?
I owned a 66 Mustang which I called "Sheila." Being a convertible I loved taking her out topless to show her off.
When I rode my bicycle across the US I named my bike "Betty Boop."
Right now I am trying to come up with a name for my '03 spiral gray but as her personality has yet to mainfest itself, I am holding off.
So, tell us, what's your vette's name?

Yes, but you guys may want to kill me for this. Before we bought the Z06, I was convincing the woman that this would be the last toy I ever bought and how much I realllllly wanted one. We were watching gone in 60 seconds and how much "Elanore" meant to Nick Cage and my GF said to me so the Z06 is kind of like your Elanore 
?? Yeeeeeessss!!!!!! I said, I want an Elanore !!! So when we got her the name just kind of stuck.

Yep! First day I brought her home I went for a stroll around downtown. Cruising around I immediatly noticed a lot of heads turning
...especially of the female gender. Hence, the name:
Kitty Katcher
You figure it out.

I didn't. But the Wife,who nicknames EVERYTHING, named our '02 vert "Toy" The Wife has had many hobby cars in the past, '56 Olds, '60 Caddy Coupe, "64 Benz, Oval window Bug,'64 Buick vert and an '85 Fiero GT that she bought when it was 18 months old. Through it's life (she still has it) it's acted like most Fieros did, engine swap, transaxle swap, ETC. So she named the car "Demon" as in Demon car from hell. But to answer your thread,,,,,, No, I didn't name my Vette,,,,,,, The Wife did.

I'm a bit of a football fan, so I had to name her after my favorite team. Wanted to go with Brutus. But for so many obvious reasons, she is definitely female. So I went with Sloopie. When you get in and go - You just "Hang on Sloopie".

I need to come up with one. My dad and I always name our cars, and they all have to start with the same letter of the model. I need to find a fitting C name, other than Christine as that was my camaro.

"Baby" As in: baby wants to go for a ride... Baby doesn't like to get wet. And finally, As my wife says Baby wants a "new toy." So you get the full impact: Baby gets what Baby wants...
