Sycraft is my plate, but affectionately called Ho-Vette, as Ho-White was my Camaro

acquisition of sexual arousal
companionship
ability to show off what hotness you're sportin

I don't have the car yet stuck in Tenn. but its coming very soon.... they say. MAD DOG is my hotrods nicknames for the past 35 years. Started with my first 71 Stingray custom painted the color of the wine Mad Dog 20\20 and carried through many Hi Perf. Boats. Now its going to be proudly worn somewhere on our new Black Z06 \ Z07 ! This spring I will post some pics here for everyone's viewing pleasures.

I'll go first..

I've got Cyber Grey which I am in the process of blacking out. Her name: Elvira

named after the queen of darkness herself! I felt it was fitting :-)

Since I have both a c5 & c7, and few people I know are familiar with the Cx designation, they are now known as 'the blue one' (c5) and 'the grey one'

One of my car savvy friends likes to call it flounder b/c he thinks the logo looks like a flounder w/ a long tail.

For my Velocity Yellow 2015, I've settled on "Dual Velocity" - you would completely understand the name if you knew everything that I had to do twice!
