Automotive acronyms

We’ve all heard them before, acronyms created based off a manufacturer as a satire to their name. Usually a jab at their reliability or speed. I’ll list off ones that I know, feel free to join in with any I may not have.

Ford: Fails On Race Day

Fucked up Old Rebuilt Dodge

Fix Or Repair Daily

Fiat: Fix It Again Tony

Mopar: Mostly Old Parts And Rust

Move Over Pinto Approaching Rapidly

GMC: Give Mechanic Cash

God’s Mechanical Curse

Gay Mans Chariot

Chevrolet: Cracked Heads Every Valve Rusts Oil Leaks Every Time

Volvo: Valve Oil Leaks Very Often

Feel free to add in new ones. I imagine there are countless more throughout the world.

(It is not my intention to berate anyone’s car or choice of manufacturer, this is intended for good fun.)

I love the GM one, that’s gonna stick in my head.
