---

ALFA: Crumbling Latin Fuckwit'south Ambulance. Thank you Anthony

ASTON MARTIN: A Silly Toy Of Neurotic Centre Aged Rich Toffs Investing Needlessly

AUDI: Some other Useless Deutsche Invention. Obviously written past someone with starting time hand experience - maybe someone who had one rust away into dark-brown air in the 70's?

BMW: Bought My Wife; Brings Me Women; Big Coin Waster; Broke My Wallet; Babe Magnet Wannabe, and LOTS more than. There'due south a sure commonality of theme though, insinuating that Bavarian Motor Werken cars are expensive to run and bought by shallow image conscious airheads (Meet pic beneath).

and Craig R says information technology means 'Bavarian Manure Wagon!'

CADILLAC: Crazy And Demented Idiots Like Large American Cars. Nuff said?

CHEVROLET: Chevrolet's not a common Aussie brand so one example will practice - Can Hear Every Valve Rattle On Long Extended Trips. At that place are heaps more than for those who are interested, 2d in popularity only to Ford (meet beneath)

CHRYSLER: Can't Have Refund, You're Stuck Leasing Edsel's Replacement. A clever 1, but I'm certain about Valiant owners would adopt this one - Company Has Recommended You Beginning Learning Engine Repair!

DODGE: Drips Oil, Drops Grease Everywhere. I've got i and every discussion is truthful! And how about - Dad's Old Expressionless Garage Experiment. And - Don't Over Drive Gutless Engines. Thanks for that one, Tanner, but how can you say the 426 Hemi is Gutless?

EDSEL: Every Day Something Else Leaks. More to add to the Edsel'south woes

FIAT: Failed Italian Automotive Technology, Feeble Italian Attempt (at) Transportation; or the well known favourite - Fix It Over again Tony!

FORD: Of all machine names, Ford has the nigh entries - three complete pages full on one site: Fix Or Repair Daily; Fast Only Rolling Downhill; First (or Fails) On Race Day; Constitute On Road Dead (thanks Sameer P): Funding Our Retirement Daily (from a mechanic`s point of view); and perhaps best of all: Driver Returning On Human foot (Ford spelled backwards!)

GMC: Greatest Fabricated Chevy (thanks Roger S)

HOLDEN: Holes, Oil Leaks, Dents, Engine Noises, and from Jason nosotros have - Heaps Of Loud Disgusting Engine Noises. Come up on Aussie come on!

HONDA: Had One Never Did Again; Concur On, 'Nother Dickhead Arriving; plus (and this is a true rarity amidst these acronyms) i that says something positive about the automobile - Happy Owners Never Bulldoze Anything (else)

HYUNDAI: A bitter 1 - Hope You Understand Zippo's Driveable And Inexpensive; and a clever i - Hang Your UNDerwear Anywhere Inside

ISUZU: It Sucks, Unless Zero Used

JAGUAR: Simply 1 entry - Junk E'er Going Under At Repair Shop. I've endemic three Jaguars during my driving history, and I've always felt that they're the ideal motorcar for a handyman, as long as he's handy with money!

JEEP: In one case again, a bitter 1 - Junk Engineering Executed Poorly; and a clever one - Only Enough Engine Power

KIA: Kicking It Again; Keep It Abroad; Kill Information technology Anyway, and another - Kills Innocent Americans (thanks to weatherman824) Hmm - a sure commonality of theme here too. Cracking for a company with a name that sounds like Xena Warrior Princess' boxing weep.

LOTUS: But one entry, but it'southward a good one - Lots Of Trouble, Normally Serious. It'south no coincidence that the acronym for the the Lotus Owners Of New York automobile club is LOONY!

MAZDA: Generally Always Zipping Dangerously Along; Made Later on Nothing Design Analysis. Z's are always hard to work into these things

MERCEDES: Many Expensive Repairs Tin Eventually Discourage Actress Sales

MG: Past and large the Pommie brands cop a bit of a bucketing, and MG is no exception - Merciless Garbage; Money Guzzler; MG-B: Might Become Backwards; the new MG-F: Might Get Frontward

MINI: Moron Within Notably Insane

MINIVAN: Manhood Is Nonexistent, I'm Vasectomized And Neutered. Thank you to Nolan R for that one

MITSUBISHI: Not the easiest of names to work with, but someone'south had a go - By and large In The Shop Undergoing Big Investments, Sometimes Halfway Incomplete; and another - Motor Is Tough, Sounds Unbelievably Bad, Intimidates Slow Hondas Incessantly

MOPAR: Move Over, Professionals Are Racing, and cheers to Petey nosotros as well have – Mostly Old Parts And Rust

NISSAN: Needs Imminent Save So Abandon Now. Y'all have been warned!

OLDSMOBILE: Someone worked hard on these - Onetime Ladies Driving Slowly Make Others Behind Infuriatingly Late Everyday; and another - Old Ladies Drive Slow - More often than not Off Bridges Into Lake Erie!

PLYMOUTH: Please Let Your Mother Out Nether The Hood!

PONTIAC: People On Narcotics Think It'south A Cadillac

PORSCHE: Proof Of Rich Spoilt Children Having Everything. Can't contend with that one!

SAAB: Quite some bitterness here - Send Some other Automobile Back; Swedish Automobiles Always Breakup; Start Adding Boosted Brakefluid; Sad Attempt At Dazzler. And you've got to say this with a California drawl - 'Yuppies don't cry, they just Saab'. LionsFootball61 sent me - SAAB: Still Ain't A Beamer and Boring As A Buick!

SUBARU: Screwed Upwards Across All Repair Unremarkably

SUV: Non a brand, I know, but most places are inundated with them - Selfish Useless Vehicles, SubUrban Vans, Stupid Ugly & Vain (thank you Michael T for all these)

SUZUKI: Space Commonly Nothing Unless Kids Inside

TORANA: Tons Of Rust And No Acceleration. And the SLR variant - Slightly Less Rust

TOYOTA: Some bitter ones here too, this fourth dimension with a local flavour - Taking Our Yen Out Through Commonwealth of australia; The One You lot Ought To Avert, They Overcharge You On Their Accessories, and Take Off Your Oversized Tires Asshole (thank you to Rob P for that one!)

TRIUMPH: A cry of depair from the heart hither - This Actually Is Unreliable Human being, Please Help; and another - Tried Repairing Information technology Until My Parts Hurt! Someone speaking from first hand knowledge, by the sound of things!

VOLVO: Very Odd Looking Vehicular Object; Very Quondam Lazy Vehicle Owner. These are but most all there are, disallowment variations on the same theme. Personally I idea there would be rich pickings in the Volvo genre, but peradventure the two Vs are a bit of a handicap.

VW: Very Weird; Most Worthless. Some literary giant has too rummaged through the Roget's Thesaurus and had a become at:
VOLKSWAGEN: Vehicle Owners - Losers Knowingly Suffering With All German Engineered Nonsense. Doesn't quite work, but a skilful effort!
