You gotta post some pics.. Everett#2390 Jan 4th, 07, 04:22 AM Agreed, pics? Steptoe Jan 4th, 07, 12:37 PM Why name? They camaro is just refered to as "The Chevy" The Bradford as "The Van" The run around (subaru) "The Runner" hardly ever used The wifes car as (a jappa) "the wifes car" They all get used daily..except "the Runner" rojo Jan 4th, 07, 02:38 PM Give it time, a name will pop up when it's suited. Just pulling one out of the air doesn't seem to work. My '04 F150 is called the FIS'O (FISO) because that's what the emblems look like from a distance. My '77 Dodge pickup is known as the hodge podge Dodge and if you saw it you'd know why. The Camaros are simply known as the "other women" in my life.

DougP Jan 5th, 07, 09:45 AM Without pics its hard to tell whether the car looks like a Gertrude or more like a Matilda glock73110 Jan 5th, 07, 05:41 PM my car is named the B.O.A.T break out another thousand South Side Goons & Hitmen Jan 5th, 07, 08:27 PM For those of you here who remember the 1983 movie you can always call it Christine which a friend of mine used to call his red 1970 Pontiac Lemans by that name. There were electrical issues with his car. When it got very very hot under the hood it would try to crank over very slowly. It sounded like a car with a dead battery trying to crank soft & slow. You could only hear it up close but I heard it. I could not believe this until I saw it with my own eyes & heard it with my own ears. My friend was standing next to the car. Palms up in the air. Keys out of the ignition in the off position. This car did not have remote start but had the door handles shaved with a button if I recall to pop the doors open. I't had a tilt front end. I'm telling you even he could not believe it. It was the wierdest thing I have ever seen on a car. From that point forward he named it Christine.

Go with The Poofter Mobile :D Everett#2390 Jan 12th, 07, 11:22 AM Men don't name their cars. Girls do. Go with The Poofter Mobile :DReal men do. Real men don't ask instructions, Men do ask. VI009DZ Jan 12th, 07, 11:38 AM My wife and I named the Z "Commorade"....the original translation of Camaro. I had a GMC Typhoon devil truck that ALWAYS kicked my a$$ no matter what I tried to do. Something as simple as changing spark plugs always seemed to turn into an absolute nightmare. The crank broke in half, tranny and rear end blew and the last straw was I caught it on fire, but it always seemed to live to see another day of pissing me off. I left more knuckle and hand skin on that truck than I can shake a stick at. I named her "Christine" for obvious reasons. With Commorade, I was looking to start anew with a friend, not a foe..... jdove Jan 12th, 07, 11:58 PM This might be a good suggestion. Origin The Camaro was initially advertised on Top 40 AM radio stations of the day in an attempt to woo the young adult market. Although it was technically a compact car (by the standards of the time), Camaro, soon joined the Mustang with a pony car designation. It may also be classified as an intermediate touring car, a sports car, or a muscle car. Though the car's name was contrived with no meaning, GM researchers reportedly found the word in a French dictionary as a slang term for "friend" or "companion." In some automotive periodicals before official release, it was code-named "Panther." Automotive press asked Chevrolet product managers "What is a Camaro?", and were told it was "a small, vicious animal that eats Mustangs". The name conveniently fit Chevrolet's "C" naming structure that included Corvair, Chevelle, Chevy II, and Corvette. Maybe panther?

If it never gets a name it just means the car don't want no stinking name. If you name the car without the car's involvement, you may piss it off. My 66 is the 66. That's all it has ever wanted for the 20 something years I've owned it. My 2002 Duramax is " my truck". The Camry is the Camry. The 88 Chevy Sprint was always "funky red car" The little blue truck was " baby blue" sometimes The Brougham was always "the Caddy" and God I wish I still had it. Only one other car has made me happier... Wolf, sometimes Wolfie(he has a blanky). The car has character. He has always been Wolf. I did not name him. The name is natural and effortless. Everyone loves Wolf and calls him by name. Wolf is normally extremely well behaved, but subject to occasional temper tantrums when he doesn't get to play his favorite game. Hauling A**. Currently he is violently pissed, and it looks as though I will have to sell an excellent ZZ-4 engine I really don't want to sell to raise funds in order to Make Wolfie Happy Again. OK, I'll sell it...And then I get to play my favorite game again "hope Wolf doesn't kill me or land my 47 year old juvenile butt in jail". A recent post of mine in the drivetrain section.... I can kind of relate to the guy who had the Typhoon Devil truck Well, last time I posted in the drivetrain section I was asking if anyone had experience with bent axle tubes on a GM 10 bolt. Mine were bent and I was considering welding them back together, with a bad misalignment of the tube to the end. Well, we stared at it a long time and scrapped it. Going to sell my brand new Moser 33 spline spool/axle kit and almost new 4.56 Richmond gear set. And build a 9". I know Moser and Strange build 3rd members for the 9", and I want a hell for stout rear end so I will spend what it takes. Don't know what to buy though. And I don't know squat about 9", much less sticking one into/under Wolf. I just hope it doesn't piss him off. Last time I pissed off that car I had to work on it for 2 days and ended up putting everything back like it was he didn't want any new stinking parts dammit. I don't even remember what it was, something innocent and super simple like a hose or battery Idunno why it pissed him off so bad but I felt like a wet nose kid by the time that car taught me to don't ever do that again. It was absolutely ridiculous, I've been earning a living as a mechanic for 30 years, and that 1 weekend I decide to get up at 6AM Saturday and change a light bulb or something on a perfect car, and 48 hours later we've removed and reinstalled evrydamthing. And ain't changed nuthin. But the car was happy. I was bleedin. Anyhow, if anyone knows anything about 9", and how to put one in a 77 drag Camaro without pissing it off I would appreciate your insights. My buddies are going to do the 9" and installation for me, and we are going to tub him and go from a 6pt to a 10 point cage at the same time. They do this stuff all the time and it is no sweat. But I got to at least make Wolf think I know what's going on. Wolf is laying down on the trailer with no rear end and 4 by 4's under the subframe connectors. All tied down and lookin pissed anyway. We head out Friday AM.
