Worst name for a car I can think of:
BMW, Itsa
It's a what? I don't know!
Best known in modern day as the Steve Erkle car

My handle:
I'm hoping to get a small motorsports based, custom or restored, performance Cars, Trucks, Bikes, Boats Magazine published sometime in the next ohhh 20 years "the way it looks right now anyway". And it's initials are PSS, and Mag is short for magazine.

politan???

I'm pretty sure that Steves car was a BMW Itsa (Sp?) it maybe spelled Itza.
There was one just like it at Street Rod Nationals in Springfield, Mo. a couple of years ago and he tried to enter the burn out contest. It was hilarious.

There are too many stupid car names to keep track of them all...how about Kia Sophia, the Scion (whoever makes it and whatever a Scion is??) There are more out there just too late...can't think...

My handle is from a Dolly Parton song, "Wildflowers". Check out my sig, the verse that inspired wild-mtn-rose is below my picture. I thought it fit me.

Isetta.

I dunno where my user name came from...maybe 'cuz it's my first name.

As far as cars go, how about the Aspire...it "Aspires" to become a real car.

Rolls Royce went very close to releasing a model called the "Silver Mist"
Just as the model was due out, they discovered that Mist is used in German (a big market of theirs) for Fart.

It was renamed to the Silver Cloud

LOL SS doesn't mean it's a Third Reich special edition. It stands for Super Sport. It's a shame it doesn't live up to it's name though.

Thanks HHIFX4


Isthata what? LOL

You just can not look at this car and not smile. It is front wheel drive, rear steering, top speed of like 35mph. Now imagine seeing this pulling up to the burnout pit at Street Rod Nationals!
It may have a funny name, it may look a little funny, it may not be very fast (or fast at all for that fact). But for some strange perverted reason I wouldn't mind having one of these Beamers someday!
