I currently have "The Blue Car", "The Truck" (the Suburban), "The
Santa Cruz Car" (because that's where I bought it), "Pete's Elan" (for
nostalgic reasons). "The Race Car" (but when I had two race cars,
"The Race Car" was the Elan race car and the other one was known as
"The Europa"... now both are gone).
When I had the Elan race car, "The Blue Car", as my only running
road-going Elan at the time, was known as "Desire" (as in, "A Street
Car Named...").
All tow vehicles pre-truck were various big block, big chassis 500 USD
station wagons and all were known as Queen Mary (I, II, III, IV and
V). I tended to wear them out, what with slaloming them in between
races (sometimes, I didn't have anything else).
Then there was the 1000 pound, 200 hp (rotary), mid engine slalom
special which an old girlfriend named the "Berserk" as a tribute to my
driving style. It rewarded me with a championship (talk about
acceleration!).
