Most Eccentric Rich Capitalists Enjoy Driving Expensive Sedans

Miss Cellania has a list of Automotive Acronyms, of which perhaps the best known is Ford: "Found On Road Dead." (At least, I think it's the best-known; the only time I ever actually heard it spoken was while I was trying to get an old Mercury started in the parking lot at Heritage Park and a couple of clowns in a Pontiac tossed it at me as they whizzed by at 14 mph.)

I offered my standard (okay, maybe it's automatic) rendering of "Oldsmobile" — "Old, Leisurely-Driven Sedan Made Of Buick's Inferior Leftover Equipment."

Other old favorites:

• Acura: "Another Car Using Rice Additives"
  
• Dodge: "Digs Own Damn Grave Eventually"
  
• Fiat: "Fix It Again, Tony"
  
• Honda: "Hugely Overpriced Non-Domestic Automobile"
  
• Hyundai: "How Your Usual Nerd Drives An Import"
  
• Kia: "Korea's Incompetence Amazing"
  
• Mazda: "Major Asshole Zipping Down Alleyways"
  
• Saab: "Shape Appears Ass-Backwards"
  

And it took a while, but I finally turned up one for my own car: "It Never Found Its Niche: It's Truly Inconsequential."

(A truly prodigious list can be found here.)
