2. My '89 Camaro was 'MISSY'...
she took me close to 200,000 miles.

I cried like a baby when we took her to the rust home.

She was the first automobile I bought with my own money.
I took very good care of her...she in turn took excellent care of me.

She looked a lot like this car...

12. My old 1982 silver-and-black Datsun ZX I nicknamed "The Silver Tyrant".
An inspiration I got from a William Blake poem, "The Grey Monk". Which is the nickname of my new car: a charcoal gray 2011 Acura TL.

16. My dad's old hulking Buick was known as TMO - The Mighty One - for
the letters on its license plate. He kept it way longer than he should have but miraculously unloaded it on a woman who "just needed a car," but bought herself a shitload of trouble. She never registered it and apparently abandoned it shortly thereafter.

17. V'ger
It was a Voyager and the first Star Trek movie was out.

The Leviathan-GIANT Olds Stawag that the salesman swore was owned by a church and only used to take shut-ins to services. Was briefly used as a green house after it died on me.

Lars-Red Nissan Pathfinder that I lurved.

Indigo-'98 Audi A4, pretty blue, love like crazy, given to my son who loves it like crazy.

And I never have found a good name for my pretty pearl white Mini Cooper. Mini Pearl is just too-too.

19. My first car: a very large 1969 Chevy Impala named "Impie Biggs" after
the counsel for the defense in a couple of Dorothy Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey Mysteries.
