George,

I had a VW bug that I named "Lucy" after the Peanuts cartoon 
character.  Red, temper, not much guts.  GEt it?  :)

Haven't named the SHO's yet, just never found the right 
name.  My old Pontiacs have always just been "Poncho" and we 
named my wife's new 78 VW Beetle Champaign Edition 
convertible....."Bubbles" license plate reads: "1 Bubls"

Champaign...bubbles, get it?  I kill me!

:)

Now if we only had great nose art like those WWII planes!
