"Chester" for my 1968 911L (it's Tangerine Orange, evoking thoughts of Chester Cheeto for you snack food fans...)
"The Beast" for my 2010 C4S Cab (triple black with that nice PSE growl)

"Charlie"
After my speed-obsessed granddad from whom I received the octane content in my blood.
He was the kind of man's man who raced 100mph hydroplane boats, rebuilt old exotic cars and raced them during the most dangerous time for motor sport.
Once, he scared the **** out of my dad, then is soon-to-be son-in-law, by making him sit on a Coke crate in the passenger side of a race spec Maserati while he was in the driver's seat, donning a full harness, fire suit, helmet and gloves and doing triple-digit speeds on a stretch of unfinished interstate until my dad begged him to stop, lol.
He also taught my mom to drive in a Porsche 356 coupe, later driving her to her wedding while she rode in the "back seat" of that car, wedding dress and all.
He never drove anything that bored him... his final car was a Pantera.

" Misty"
Because the first few times I drove 'er it rained and everyone knows it doesn't rain in California, and she's slate gray.
I knew it was the right name because I choked up a little when it came to me.
Yeah, its a sickness.
See my avatar? Wet logo, first day she was home...

That's funny, when my wife (it's her DD) learned that Porsche enthusiasts called them "P-cars," she nicknamed hers Penelope which has since been shortened to Penny.

Otherwise spelled, "Lightning."
Lightening is what Michael Jackson did to his face. Which, for some strange unknown reason, my children named my Audi Q5.

My grandpa drove a split-pea-soup-green Rambler. Sigh.
