Since I purchased my car with money I saved while working for Duke Energy, my wife dubbed the C6 Vette "Duke". She calls her car "Duchess". She also calls our 74 coupe "Big Red".

Vell, since ve have a Victory Red Vertible ve just call her Miss Vicky. Our 1100HP prostreet was called the "BEAST" and our 53 Replica was called the "BEAUTY" and we always showed the cars together with a Beauty and the Beast display. Lotsa trophies. First my children named them and now my grandchildren have the honors.

My C6 is named "The Stinking Bishop," generally called "The Bishop." Anyone know the reference for "The Stinking Bishop?"

Is your C6 color VY? Stinking Bishop http://www.teddingtoncheese.co.uk/acatalog/de339.htm
And I do name mine; C6 was Silver Bullet after the LPE SC.
C6 I call Triple Silver.

Kudos for knowing of the cheese.
The direct reference is from _Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit_ - naturally I call "her" "The Bishop" rather than stinking, unless using the entire honorific.

Just call me Wally
Thats right. A vette named Wally. When you best friend gets sick and the word cancer is used the thoughts get going wild. Wally was sick and I was thinking about LIFE. I beat cancer myself 16 years ago and knew what was racing through Wally's mind.
Well, to make a long story a short one, I decided to fullfill one of my dreams and I got a 2005 LBM coupe. The car is mine but it has Wally's name. The license plate 44YR DRM.
Just had my yearly checkup and NO CANCER.

I think you better take another look at the title of this thread darlin. "YOUR CAR" or the "VETTE"? Call like it is....... Moni Peni or Vanish-d
and "JEALOUS" enough of her!!!!! Take another stab honey..... You don't know what jealous is when you see me blow by you darlin...... so you may want to take that statement back before I name the VETTE
"MYVETTE"

If you can't say anything nice on my posts, then either refrain from posting or expect to be flamed.
