Do you name your cars??
 
My 70 SS 396 is "Papa Bear" the 69 Malibu convertible is "Mama Bear", my daily driver 95 Z28 convertible is "Baby Bear"
The names seem to fit, the 70 has a lumpy cam with loud exhaust and always seems angry like its ready to jump on something. The 69 has a really mild crate engine with stock quiet exhaust and really does belong to my wife. The Z28 is a young pup lookin for trouble.

My wife calls the wagon "Goldie".
I'll have to make sure and not park it next to one of your bears. ;)

Uh, yes, the Chevelle is "Chevelão", a portuguese aumentativa for Chevelle.
VW bug is the "Fusca", wich is how VW Bugs are called here in Brazil.
And the CBX 1050 is "The CBX".

Diane my better half named ours "The Silver Lady" and made me promise that when it goes into be painted next week it better come out the same color.

I usually name my vehicles, but the Chevelle hasn't said what it's name is yet.

My '79 4x4 Ford daily driver is "Alice".
I'm fostering another '79 Ford 4x4 for a friend of mine until he can buy it back. That's "Ka'Bluey" (Brilliant blue metallic paint)
...and my monster truck is "Earthquake"
I haven't settled on the '49's name yet, I'm leaning towards "Pumpkin Shaker". ('60's gasser painted orange)
