Have you named your Corvette?

Hi people! I purchased my first Corvette 2 weeks ago and I'm thrilled

! I got a red 2001 C5 with 41k miles. I hadn't planned on naming her (I've never named a car or a guitar), but driving home the name hit me and I can't shake it. Meet Scarlet Begonia

After over five thousand in mods in only a year-and-a-half, I'm thinking her name is Money Pit!

Shouldn't all vettes have names that invoke images of speed and/or power? Not so sure about Scarlet Begonia.

Oh well, if you like it that's all that matters.

It was a rare ice day last january here in texas and my 99 camaro didnt do well on ice at all so I took the day off. Ice thawed a few hours later. Figured why not check out a few more leads on my quest for a vette. Found her a 2004 C5 with only 7000 miles. bye bye camaro.....hello ICE PRINCESS

Its THE VETTE or THE Z..... Right now I am the only one of my family and close friends to have a Corvette. I suppose my wife could name my Z06 but she thinks I love the car more than her as it is... sooo giving THE Z a name maybe a bad thing to do...
