<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'">I was checking earlier to see what the "M" in MG stood for, I knew it was something Garages, found out it was Morris Garages. Anyways, the site that I was on someone mentioned that it really stands for "Many Gaskets."

Then some of the old favorites popped up, like:

FORD - Fix Or Repair Daily - First (Fourth) On Race Day - Found On Road Dead

FIAT - Fix It Again Tomorrow

BMW - Big Money Waste - Break My Windows

DODGE - Drops Oil, Drops Grease Everywhere

MOPAR - Most Often Passed At Races - Mostly Old Parts And Rust

I have one for SAAB, but I can't say it here... :devilgrin:

Anybody else have any favorites?

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'">I have since seen <span style="font-style: italic">"Many Grins"</span>

There was one about Pontiac, but I can't remember what it was...</span>
