Anyone ever have a nick name for there rig? I'm not saying paint it on the door, just a little somthin' you like to call it. And not like, "my other girl friend". Is it not cool? Huh I've always had one for a certain car I had in high school. Just not sure if that’s something you just keep to yourself.
What are some of them?

I'd rather not repeat some of the names I have called it over the last 21 years.
It's PG rated around here, right?

"Fritz the Car" My friends and I had just seen the movie "Fritz the Cat", and they started calling my 67,  Fritz the Car. The name stuck.

Edit: I thought I should let you know about the movie, Fritz the Cat.
Read about it here;

It's not a name as such but since mine has a hole in the roof I sometimes refer to it as 'The Skip'. I'm not sure that that means anything in Amglish?
