Automobile Names II
So, I received a few responses from my editorial on silly names for cars and some are included here....
| Honda Accord: | You wanted a Maserati, your wife wanted a Kia. Your Accord involved the trading of sexual favors and settling on a sensible car. |
| Ford Focus: | Originally slated to be called the Ford Smellybottom, it was renamed after the focus group suggested to Ford that the name Smellybottom was not appropriate for an automobile manufacturer...rather an automobile dealer. |
| Mazda Miata: | "Me -oughta" have bought a damned larger car with all those SUV's on the road! |
| Range Rover: | Scheduled to be named Rump Wrangler, but had to change the moniker due to lawsuits waged by the Jeep Wrangler and various homosexual groups. |
| Buick Century: | Remember, I told you, you had to be over 100 years of age to buy a Buick! |
| Volvo: | Frankly, I'm uncertain as to how a car company has been successful being named after a Swedish woman's body part?! |
| Ford Excursion/ FAO Schwarz Edition: | You've seen the trend with the Eddie Bauer and LL Bean Editions...now the toy store has joined the pack offering the sounds of "It's a Small World After All" playing constantly on a loop, while you drive the largest production vehicle in the world! |
| *Chevy Celebrit: | A frustrated comedian or commentator, should have been Jerry Seinfeld or Andy Rooney, but unfortunately got stuck being a cameraman, last model made in the late 80's. |
| *Infinity: | The amount of time that Ken has on his hands in order to be able to write something like this each week. I think that we should check that schedule he lists at the end, it can't be right. What is he booked for -- riding the NJ Turnpike to see America and get more ideas for next weeks email? I bet if you called him to do something on 12/3 or 12/4, he is available. In fairness, I have only slightly less time on my hands. |
*editors note; I believe those were a direct hit against me! It was also mentioned that if anyone needed help kicking my ass to let that person know. Apparently, this person is not aware of the fact the I am known as one half of the STRONGEST crew in all of New York!!!
