Ester. She's an older gal with a whole lot of spunk.

My C4 was Marceline (The vampire queen). Not all of my rides have names, only the ones with personality.

I named mine Ruby because she's the dark Metallic red color. I wanna get a ridiculous Ruby Rod (from the Fifth Element) decal and put it on the rear hatch window.

At various times I've called the C5 I have now and the C3 I had before lots of things, but I've never named them.
