acronyms from the automotive industry
« on: Aug 20, 2005, 06:05PM »

And some amusing acronyms from or related to the automotive sector. In addition to providing some interesting examples of attitudes, humour and the adaptability of language, these barbed interpretations also serve to show that cars can give rise to strong feelings and bias. No offence is intended:

ASTON MARTIN
Another Strut To Overhaul Nightly - Many Apparent Repairs To Internal Nubs (nubs are wheel bushes).

BENTLEY
Beautiful Engine, Needs To Last Endless Years.

CHEVROLET
Clatters Heavily, Every Valve Rattles, Oil Leaks Every Time.

DODGE
Damned Old Dirty Gas Eater.

FIAT
Fix It Again Tony.

FORD
Found On Roadside, Dead. Alternatively, Found On Rubbish Dump. Alternatively, Fix Or Repair Daily or arguably a more grammatically correct expression Fix Or Replace Daily. Then there is Flip Over, Read Directions, also First On Race Day, and how about For Outstanding Reliability and Dependability...

GMC
Garbage Made Carefully. Alternatively: Garage Man's Companion, General Mess of Crap, Gotta Mechanic Coming or Good Mexican Car.

HONDA
Hold On Not Done Accelerating.

JAGUAR
Just A Gauge Under Another Repair.

JEEP
Just Enough Essential Parts.

KIA
Killed In Action.

LOTUS
Loads Of Trouble, Usually Serious. Alternatively, Leaking Oil To Under Side.

TOYOTA
Too Often Yankees Overprice This Auto.
