    Okay, I am really getting bad...I have been calling my car "her" for a while now...So, "she" has a name now...Bettie ...named after the infamous pin-up girl from the 50's, the lovely Bettie Page...So what do you guys call your cars(other than S.O.B., like my Dad calls all of his when he gets ticked with them:biglaugh: )

    I usually just call it the Maverick, my friends call it the old black car, and "Stupid old P.O.S." seems to work good when I'm working on it. (y)

    Gonna have Halebopp on the plates, but that is actually my nickname for this site.
    My wife just calls it... "that ugly car, I don't understand why you don't get a Mustang" :90:
    She doesn't share my artistic vision nor does she understand my "Maverick" personality.
    I just tell her I have been working hard at being wierd for 41 years and am proud of it!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :p

    My red 77' Maverick I call " Red". Original, huh? The Stallion has had many names. When we got it, it was the ugliest shade of tan I ever saw. Add to that all the rust spots, Rustolium spray and duct tape holding the doglegs together earned it the name " Ugly". Now that it's all restored again, we can't very well call it "Ugly" anymore. During it's restoration it seems it fought us every step of the way, so it got called very name in the book, none of which I can print here. Dales favorite name for it is " The Car From Hell." He swears the car hates him. We were calling it "Rebel" for a while, but we really don't want it confused with a certain AMC product. Now we just call it "The Stallion".
