Default Name my Corvette

Well I am a writer http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_no...ozarth&x=0&y=0
and I did have a black cobra that was my main mans ride in my book "00 Files"
Now I am writing "00 Files Two" and have bought a 2001 metalic silver convertable c5. I am making this my character's spy car. It is a normal enough car, not drawing too much attention but will have a lingenfelter twin turbo motor, etc.
Anyway "Richards" (the main character) named his cobra, Midnight, what should he name his Corvette? Any suggestions. BTW it is not a z06 so as to attract less attention. (Silver bullet is just too lame)

I went with the "Gone in 60 Seconds" theme and picked a female name. Mine's named "Anastasia" and she's well protected with anti-theft devices!

That's more like it. My son came up with "Metallic Frankenstein" but I think it sounds more like a rock band than a Corvette.

Silver Bullet is taken anyway. My now dead best friend named my car the first time he saw it. He was coaxing down a Coors Lite. Joe Cates said, "Now that is a Silver Bullet". The name stuck. Lame or not!



Go with what you think!

I may call it my red vette, or the vette just for short, like if I'm in a rush, mostly just drive it. I guess to each their own but naming your car's kind of weid IMO.
