RE: Is This A "Guy Thing"?
I'll probably refer to the 2009 Challenger as the '09 to differentiate it from my late 1970 Challenger, which will become known as the '70. Right now, the '70 is referred to as the Challenger, which could make things confusing. The only cars I've had of the same type were 1970 and 1977 Mavericks, which are referred to as the '70 and the '77, and 1985, 1986 and 1994 Thunderbirds, which are referred to as the '85, '86 and the '94. The 2000 Mustang is just the Mustang and the 1989 Tempo I inherited from my dad is the Tempo. None of this is original, but it serves the purpose.
