Well I could just name mine "TAXI" I guess, since it is Mellenium Yellow or Taxicab Yellow as my friends say. Here's the plate I want to get.

I named mine after my wife's beautiful show jumper
horse from the 80's, PRISSY which was short for
Persistent Miss. Never can decide which is more beautiful, the vette
or Prissy.

I simply call mine the Vette. Not into giving cars names and such, although if something goes wrong I may call it a few choice words.

"Old School" and "New School". My kindergarten aged grandson and I shared Corvette Thursday every week when I'd take him to school and pick him up, both of us wearing our Corvette shirts. Each Thursday he would walk out the door and make his choice of the '84 Old School or the supercharged '00 New School. Believe it or not, he picked Old School most of the time.

When I bought mine the previous owner had the tag VADER. The car is black on black with tinted windows and black rims. So my wife now calls it DARTH.

Anymore, mine is "Money Pit".

Let me correct that... It was "Money Pit" but I got everything fixed. Now it's just "the Vette".

Rose.

It's a long story, but it's named after my mother who took her own life on Good Friday in 2014.
