Default Finally nicknamed the Vette

I named mine "Fight Club". Every time I work on it I end up beating the crap out of myself.

Slick car! I like you're wheels. I have a white silverado, wife has a brand new white sonata, and we have a white mustang.. I thought about calling it Darth and taking a picture of our white cars with it..they would be troopers..im not a star wars fan though so past that I'm not to familiar with characters besides the obvious well known ones.

hahaha! I'm going to get venom on the plate maybe and put a small venom spider logo on the rear corner window. Other than that I like to keep them pretty clean.

Her name is Lady. I am Her Taken, Driver, enslaved by Her will and spells to absolute service.




I really named Her after the character Lady from the book series The Black Company, written by Glen Cook. She is cold, powerful and forces Her will on all. And oh so beautiful.

http://blackcompany.wikia.com/wiki/Lady
The wiki doesn't document all Her deeds and actions, likely out of fear.

yes very! Lol.. my dad had a blue 85 at one time.. he called it the blue car lol. My favorite one he had was an early 70s model convertible, it had burned up and was nothing more than a frame and rearend, he bought it from the wrecker company and built it. It had a built 350 in it and was 2 tone black and grey when he finished it. Big side pipes, I only seen pictures but he first met my mother driving that car and to this day she says the fastest she'd ever went in a car was in that vette..doing 140mph.. anyways that car was known as they grey one. So I guess in a way I wouldn't be here without that vette. It got traded for a 34 Oldsmobile.

Out of my 4 C4’s, only one has a name...........my 93 40th, and that is........Ruby, same as probably half the Ruby Red 93’s on road.

My wife named the Cessna Skyhawk. She calls it “Magic”. Because it makes a lot of our money disappear.
