Well if its running without issues I call it the "vette". When it decides to give me any problems there are a number of names I will call it, none of which can be repeated here.

The vette!!! That is what we refer to our 2000 FRC as that's the one we run around in most. We just call our older blue one ,,"The 69"!! Personally,,I think referring to it as "the vette" is more direct and to the point than a goofy name,,unless it is for a kids book!! You didn't hear James Bond calling his car the "Silver Martini" in Goldfinger(going back a bit there)!! So unless it's a replacement for the Batmobile,,,keep it simple!!

Years ago there was a online black jack game.
Once in a while you would be dealt a "Silver Jack".

From Animal House:

RKBOZ - What is my Corvette name?
Bluto: RKBOZ, I've thought long and hard about this. Your Corvette name is... Flounder.

Moonlight. Kind of goes with the night time theme.

As for naming my vette.....I guess if I was going to call it anything besides "the vette" it would be "Revenue Generator for the City and County of Boulder, CO"
