When its summer and Im driving it, just the monte, in the winter when its in the garage, its just another dust collector, we all pretty much agree on what to call her when shes not working right! What the hell makes up want to do this when we enjoy it when its all wrong? Must be something mis wired in our brains!

I'll add mine into here... I got a small mirror ball and fuzzy handcuffs hanging from the rear view and my freinds call it "Disco machine". The reason that stuff was put in there is because they call it "Disco Machine" though, hehe. One of them also calls it "Latino Heat" for some reason.

Car: 89RSconvtZZ4TPI
Engine: ZZ4TPI
Transmission: 700R4 TRIPP TRANNY
89RSconvtZZ4TPI = Colleen (McMurphy from China Beach).
92Z28 convt 5spd = Rasputin (caused lots of problems between the wife and I for awhile )
71Impala402Bbconvt = The Incredible Hulk (It was originally green)
I've taken to callin the 89 the POS cause it won't run right and keeps popping new problems.
The 71 is the Incredible RUSTING Hulk now.

Cynthia...every other week when it breaks though...its bitch. I think about that sometimes though. It breaks, I cuss and fix it, I drive it for another few weeks, it breaks and I cuss and fix it some more. With all the money in this "bitch" I could have a new car. So I get to thinking...who is who's bitch here? I think all of our cars conspire to bending us over and Screwing us. My conspiracy theory is that women were really the first ones to design cars.

Tranny annie is her full name. I know she's a girl because she can be a real bittch sometimes. But you know us guys we keep going back for more.

I hope i did not insult the girls but thats my opinion.
