    One is "Buttercup".

    The other is, "The Red Maverick" (pretty clever, ay?)

    I always wanted to name my car Roxanne because I really like that name. Problem is I have a friend whose name happens to be Roxanne so it would really sound weird if I were to say "Let's go have a ride on Roxanne!"

    But I just say "My car" and everyone knows it by now.

    The Project car is Dorian and the parts car is the portrait. The older Dorian gets the worse the portrait looks. (Get it?)

    Rotating through a few currently:
    The Beast; as in- "Where did you park the Beast?"
    The Money Pit; as in- "The Money Pit needs gas again."
    ol' Ugly; as in- "One of these days I'll have enough cash to spruce up ol' Ugly."

    One day I'll settle on one name... but each has its purpose for now.

    I have to say I'm a bit disappointed in you Rick. It was in another post that you had posted something in here so I rushed over to see what creative genius you had spewing from your keyboard and THIS is what you give us????

    I call mine "Blue Demon". Dad called it that once. I thought it was cool and fitting for the plans I had for it anyway. It also scares the crud out of my 3 year old when I rev it up. LOL

    My kids call my Comet the Vomet GT cause i have that written on the left back trunk lid lip in silver. At least once a year someone asks me with a confused pained look on their face, "Did that come from the factory that way?"
