I've always named my cars. Example... Blue Thunder or Red lightning. My current Challenger is Artie.Like because it's an RT. Anyone else?
She's my dream car. I got her used obviously but the previous owner took good care of her,borla exhaust ,mopar cold air intake and a hurst shifter,and some nice stainless goodies inside. He was an older gentleman like me,but ad the magazine said,boys drive mustangs and camaros,MEN drive challengers!!
I had one in the 70's I call ed Bill, my girlfriend ask why a guys name, I told it it wasn't a name, but a statement about it's cost for gas. Gas in the 70's was still under 39Cents a gal until 1974, then it went up to 59 oh my god, the roof came off at my parents home. It use to cost less then 4.00 to fill my tank, now it was over 5.00 a week. Eat your heart out kids today have to pay in TX. 2-something a gal now. But be happy, I just came back from a trip to WA. state, it was over 3 to mid 3.50 a gal. We have it so good here in TX.

Decided to call my new TA "Ruby". Mainly because I knew a Ruby back when I was young and she was hot and fast, and a big girl to handle too...lol. Plus Ruby goes with the color of my car!
How well I remember 36 cents a gallon for 100+ octane back in '71-'72. My '70 340 Plum Crazy Challenger loved the stuff. When gas hit 50 cents a gallon some thought that it was the end of the world. As far as names go, it was Purple Thing then and Purple Thing today with our 2016 R/T in Plum Crazy.
