Is it just me, or does that car look like it was made by Playskool®?

First to sign the petition against smaller tatas.

I don't know, if the car's good enough for Mork it should be OK for humans too...

Here's an old article on some of the problems car makers have had when selling in foreign countries:

tata is a wonderful word. Not at all tinny.

The beer-crushing woman with the large ta-tas will not fit in this car...

Would Nano Tatas qualify for the Itty Bitty Ti... errr... Tata Committee?

Tata in Polish means "Daddy", childs name for father.

Can I get one for each of the girls?
(Do you think they'll chaffe?)

Punkin, only if you drive them together... Siouxie told me.
Posted by: eilbeback | July 03, 2008 at 02:47 PM
Yes. Make sure you lube them thoroughly, Punkin.
Posted by: Siouxie | July 03, 2008 at 02:55 PM
And Punkin', make sure that you film the lubage for all us interested bloglits. We need to make sure that you have full lube coverage. You can't be too careful when it comes to chafing the girls.

speaking of funny car names....does anyone remember the "Impact"?

shelley--
My favorite was the Mirage. In the right light, if you were severely dehydrated, it almost looked like a car.

Ah heck, suddlenly my shirt is not as funny.

Had a friend who said he hated the idea of ever being rear-ended by a Probe.

Make that My Shirt

Also heard that Nova means "NO GO" so Chevy had problems selling them in some areas.

The best translation problem I heard about is when my husband was riding around town with a friend of his and his friend's wife, who is Taiwanese. She suddenly pointed to a car ahead of them and started laughing. It was a Hyundai Etos. She told them that in native Taiwanese "etos" means "throw up until you die". Personally, I find it "very interesting" that ANY culture had to come up with a word for "throw up until you die"....

I understand that now that Tata has bought Jaguar, they are going to rename it Bodacious Tata.
