What did you name it!
I came across an interesting thread in the 997 section about names. I have not named my C2S, although I love it so!
However, my Targa is named "Yosemite Sam"! The reasons are obvious in the pic below!

Mine's been called The Great Pumpkin due to the continental orange/lobster color combination, but to me it's just The 911. Yosemite Sam is apropos. lol

The Targa carries a few names: "The White Car" or "Oliver's Car". Depends on who is mentioning it.

When I had my 944 turbo I named it "the Silver Bullet".
While maybe not a formal name, I do refer to my 911 as the "Venetian Blue Beauty"

I have a blue 86 911, and a black 97 993. I call the blue one "the blue one", and I call the black one "the black one".

I didn't, but my wife calls it "The Mistress." Something tells me this is a popular name by the wives.
