haha mine gets called Fi-Euro, Ferrario, Baby Fiero (the GF thinks its funny because I spend so much time with it), and a beleive some red-neck at the car show referred to it a "pile of $hit" then his son ran to my car and yelled "daddy look at this car, is it a ferrari, its like the coolest car here."
My co workers call mine the flaming go-cart. Partly cause they have all heard the stories of the early 84's and they don't know any better, and then cause I drive the Semi for my company and then the smallest car out of everyone there.

Theres a ton between my friends and I but the one that sticks the most is flemhaggler. Not sure why. So if I'm taking the flemhaggler out I say, "Lets go haggle some flem."

My wife and I jokingly refer to our 2004 Hyundai Elantra as the E-Class, to reflect the fact that we both love Mercedes cars. The Fiero naturally became the F-car. That's when I like it. When I don't like it because it's misbehaving, I refer to it as either the effing car, f---ing car, and sometimes that f----ing piece of s---
The '86 GT parts junk I have right now was unaffectionately named "Death Trap" after it died in the middle of a blind one lane curve and then tried to kill me immediately after by almost starting the dash on fire by overheating the 12V hazard flasher. It now sits dead, covered in bird doody. The previous owner/"modifier" was a moron. Apparently I was also, for buying it.
The '87 GT that I sold recently has to be "Old Faithful" as it ran like crud, but almost always ran even with 235k miles on it. It made it from Cali to MD without much of a hitch, and also through a MD to NY to OH round trip in the middle of snow last winter. Why the heck did I sell THAT one?
