FORD spelled backwards:
Driver Returns On Foot
I can still remember an acronym for most car brands foreign and domestic that I leaned in grade school.

the story I heard years ago (apologies if this no longer conforms to sensitivity to the inappropriateness of ethnic-oriented stereotypes) was that a Japanese auto company was going to enter the US market for the first time and wanted a name that did not sound too "Japanese". They knew the German companies were very successful selling in the US, so they hired a German marketing firm to come up with a good name.
At the big meeting the Japanese management team told about the features of the car and showed pictures etc.
The German marketing team showed examples of previous clients' products, said "Vee vill hahf a university professor evaluate dee vords based on lingvistic compatibility, set up focoos groups in different regions of North America,und test about 10 different names, evaluate dee responses of dee focoos groups, und hahf a psychologist obserf video to see dee facial expressions of dee participants, perform ein trademark search to ensoor der are no oder prodoocts using dat name und present examples of logos und marketing material you can start dee advertizing mit. Ven do you plan to launch dee prodooct?"
The Japanese team said: "Yes..... We will launch on the first of next month!"
The Germans said "Daht Soon?!?"

The family last name that started Toyota is spelled Toyoda. So why isn't the car company spelled the same as the family name? Because in Japanese Toyoda uses 8 charters and is considered unlucky in Japanese numerology. So the car company was called Toyota, using 7 charters, with 7 being a lucky number in Japanese numerology. The only difference is this one isn't made up - it's all true. If you're car shopping and believe that Jesus Christ is our Risen Savior and don't give two schits about numerology, you might want to keep this information in mind.
