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".

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)
