RE: NAMES:
I had a 1963 Super Red R2 factory supercharged Studebaker Super Lark that was a notorious street racer in the mid-70's. It was known as "The Red Car."
The car in my avatar is "Bad Viper" which is the name of the previous owner's ID on the Viper forums. I believe he also had a plate that said that. So that must be its name? Both myself and Nadine UK use that name. Street racing days long, long gone, I don't know if anyone else I know are aware of that name. But I think that name has legs on the forums and perhaps for the previous owner's friends.
When young and buying car stuff, we always referred to an item we bot by the previous owner's name. Like I bot some 10" slicks from I think it was Kenny Dornan, when someone talked to me about them since I now owned them, they'd say, "what did you do with Dornan's slicks?" I wonder if that was a common thing? We used to joke about it back then.
I owned a red 2000 GTS before I got BV, and used to joke that while the Viper is a magical experience every time I drove it, it's sort of ironic that it too, was red. However the name The Red Car will always be the Larks - which I recently sold - I had the car for 52 years. And about 12 pickup truck loads of parts went with it.
i call mine *****- cause i run it hard and hang it up wet
