Default Car names...

I've noticed a lot of you owners have names for your Vettes.

Any suggestions for a Sunset Orange Coupe.
I'm thinking Sunkist (probably litigation would follow)
If it was a Z06, SunnyZ would work (but that's not in my future. Feel free to use it.)

It might be interesting to hear what names you have picked.

Or not.

Named my DSOM vert Orange Slice. Slice for short. My 03 50th edition vert is called Ruby. Sold my 72 BB vert a few years ago to a Forum member in SC. It was named Clyde from the old Ray Stevens song Ahab the Arab who got on his camel Clyde.

No name for mine...I'd probably lose half of my friends if I named it and was serious about it.

That's more like it...I've never given little 'cutesy' names to any of my cars.

Although I recall reading there's some deep psychological reason people give pet names to inanimate objects...to each their own. If you want to drive 'Buffy' that's OK by me. Better yet, pick a name that rhymes with "orange."

Default Vanity Plate?

Did you mean a name for your vanity plate? If yes you might check the posting for vanity plates on the forum for MO.

My C 6 is the WISTA J (AR vanity plate)
My 30 ft Sea Ray is the WISTA J
Wife is WISTA J

If a person does name a car wouldnt it mean more to come up with something themselves.

My DSOM convertible is lovingly called "Daytona Diva" by me! Her license plate is SOQWIK.

"Johnson".......I get the strangest looks when I ask a girl if she wants to take my "Johnson" for a ride. I don't know why.

No name for mine. Always thought naming your car was a chick thing.

Sorry.

My wife calls it "your car" and she reminds me often it's just a car. What does she know?

I call it my car. No names for me. Except for when I was lowering it, and the wrench slipped and I busted my knuckles. Then it was refered to as "that piece of sh*t in the driveway"
