to check the release button, it doesn't always come all the way up.


KIA: Killed In Action.

Very poor (and disrespectful) choice for a brand name.

...however appropriate.

Im reminded of the old Nova, which didnt sell very well in spanish

Ooops. Brain fart. Now I'll include the text:

Then there's my favourite one - don't know if you have the Mitsubishi
"Pajero" (medium sized 4WD) in the US, but - there's a long-standing urban
myth that Pajero = (how do I put this delicately) ummm, a "gentleman who
is morbidly occupied with onanism".

That's one I can't verify, but would love to.

Language, again, is reputedly Spanish, but none of my real sources agree -
which they wouldn't, if it is colloquial.
