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.)
