GTX - Gas, Tires, and Xtra oil ... Which I can attest to. Went to adding a quart of 90 wt gear oil to mine each oil change to slow down the leaks. Winter time had to settle for straight 50 wt.

I you rearrange the letters in "Land Rover" it spells "every gasket, seal, and flange will fail and leak"
For those of you with British autos experience:
Lucas is an acronym for Loose Unsoldered Connections and Splices.
The Lucas motto: "Get home before dark."
Lucas is the patent holder for the short circuit.
Lucas - Inventor of the first intermittent wiper.
Lucas - Inventor of the self-dimming headlamp.
The three position Lucas switch - Dim, Flicker and Off.
The Original Anti-Theft Device - Lucas Electrics. I thought Lucas was the true Prince of Darkness.

Back in the '70's, I had a Nova. It didn't sell well among Hispanics since Nova in Spanish means no go. Heard Chevy had to rebrand it to sell in Mexico/South America.

In the 90s when my department started buying KME fire engines, KME meant Keeping Mechanics Employed.

In addition to the No va (No go), the little badge that went into the door sill that said "Body by Fisher" (Fisher Body Works) was initially translated to say "Corpse by Fisher".

I recall a female employee who confused "Volvo" with "vulva".
Volvo actually means "I roll" in Latin.

Paul Did she confuse her privates with the car name, or the car with the name of her privates? 'Cuz I could drive that Volvo all night long, baby.

From my dim recollection of the particulars, you wouldn't want to. Came up in the context of a BS sexual harassment complaint that I had to deal with. Paul

The Mitsubishi starion was supposed to be stallion. The guys at dodge had the colt and and Mitsubishi was working on this slightly bigger model. They had the US guys suggest a name and they came up with stallion as a logical progression from colt. Unfortunately, the Japanese guys lost it in translation due to their Engrish and the dodge guys didn't catch it until they cars were already shipped here with the starion badging in place.
I guess I do remember something from my international marketing class in MBA school.
