Default Do you name your cars??

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".
