When the previous owner of my '58 Coupe called it "My Baby" for 49 of its 50 years it would be arrogant of me to give it any name.
If I did feel the need to name it, it would have to be "Betty's Baby."

If your into cycling the "Yellow jersey" or "Maillot jaune" is awarded to the race leader and winner of the Tour De France (Tour De Lance Armstrong). At first, it was weird driving a yellow car around town.......It has since grown on me.......I like it!

I call my Ghia "a Karmann Ghia".
Why name your car? So you can identify it in a 'crowd'?
I did name my toaster, though.
I call it Mike. |
