A co-worker called mine a "casket on wheels" but then he got in his rusted out Ford escort hatchback, so I just smiled and let him think what he wants. I know the difference.

wow. that is very clean.

Mostly, I just call mine "b!tch." (kidding)
I don't really have a nick name for my Formula, although I feel like it's a junior Millennium Falcon from time to time.
"She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts. I've made a lot of special modifications myself."

That or perhaps it's the namesake of my father's 61 Corvair, "Shahasta."

Because Shahasta have new brakes
Shahasta have a new EGR tube
Shahasta have a new ignition module
Shahasta have a new heater core.... etc.

I call mine Project FearO. :lol:

I call mine Carlita, but also tend to use "my little car" pretty interchangeably ...... little is in reference to my daily driver 04 Suburban - Brutus.

Well...

The original, and often recurring dream is to do a Lambo with it so when I want everyone to laugh I call it the "Fierghini Diablero" with an Antonio Banderas accent.

Mainly though it's "Dirty Look" cuz that's what they all gave me when I drove it home unexpectantly and unannounced.

They'll get over it.

I actually refer to mine as the rolling junk pile, because I have seen better looking junk piles than my car.

Never saw a junk pile run a 12.8 thou.

Plastic flaming GT death trap

My wife has dubbed my Fiero, "The Beast".

atleastitruns and I named ours "Grandpa". The reasoning?

It has over 175k miles and a few piercings that are starting to droop with old age... not to mention the parts aren't quite functioning like they used to.

all my friends call mine FIASCO just cuz it seems that its one big fiasco getting it running after its broke

I stand a staggering 2 feet taller than the car, so mines been dubbed the clown car.

Since all of mine are restoration projects, "Money Pit" is a fitting collective nickname.

The notchie is known as "booger" and the GT "car in the garage" at my house.
