Names for your Vette?
Come on, let's hear what you've named your babies
I named her Svetlana, Svetty for short. I was almost going to spell it Svettelana but decided to be more subtle. Gives her a nice exotic ring I think.

I named her Christine after the movie. She's one killer redhead.

I really don't have a name for mine, But if I did I think I would call it "Happy" because when I get behind the wheel I am happy.

Somebody called mine "Batmobile" back when I had the windows blacked out (on a Black Z06). Kinda DID look like the batmobile...
But otherwise, mine is "Corvette". It's already got the nametag!

Her name has been Ruby ever since I had her name legally change from Safire. That's what the previous owner called her. She's must happier in my garage, and Yes, she takes her love to town. Oh, BTW, there's a girl working her way thru college and paying for her grandmother operation at a bar here in Nashville. I've paid for several Doctor's visits.
