    Well...

    My '77 Nova is named Mouse, because she's kinda low key, doesn't really stand out. And my brother's '72 Skylark is named Roulette, and that's an interesting tale.

    When we were first working on her (think 15 and 16, not knowing which end of a wrench is up:laugh: ) we topped it off with a brand new, rebuilt in our kitchen carburator from the local pick and pull. Got her running, and decided to take her out for a spin. We drove around for about a week before we realized the top plate on the carb had a hair-line crack, and was squirting fuel like a super soaker.
    When we thought about all the times we started her up, bare inches from fuel landing on the manifold and vaporizing us, we both turned a nice shade of green. We had been playing Russian Roulette while sitting inside the barrel. And hence, the name:Brow:

    I don't really have names for my cars, but, I call my T/R the "T" and when I'm happy with the 65, I call it "Baby".:laugh:
