    Close enough to the subject, Suzuki sold a motorcycle in Thailand called the Smash. I thought that was hilarious.

    With those external mirrors, it looks more like the kind of SLUG you'd find on a lettuce.

    The Honda Fitta is still best in my book.
    If I went to a foreign country and saw a car named a Honda Cvnt, I'd literally collapse laughing.

    I had one exactly the same colour. It had SAH exhausts and a different Weber carburetor.

    Not called Geoffrey.

    AMC Matador: Matador is killer ( and not just of bulls) in Spanish and Mexico is next to the USA.



    Besides, that name should have been reserved for the Ford tiny penis or Pinto.



    This was the car over which Ford got caught doing an actuarial analysis and concluding it was less expensive to let people burn to death and pay the lawsuits than it was to recall them and fix the problem.

    Nissan had a 'Bluebird' model which was a bad choice of name in Australia. I think the Toyota Corona outsold em 10 to one!

    This dates me some, one of my favorite cars was a Dodge Dart wagon 1963

    It was in great nick except for a seized engine.Bought it for $25. Pulled the plugs and sprayed a few pints of wd40 into the cylinders and waited a week or so
    Loosened up the engine and she fired up. Smoked some but not too much. I sold her to some biker dude for $500. He was happy as a clam.
    beautiful car really.
