funny acronyms for vehicles
A friend's dad HATED Ford, would bash them every chance he got. Looking over his step-son's newish '68 Shelby GT with the 428 he scoffed, thinking his Biscayne station wagon with 283 CID could beat it.
While throwing out every insulting Ford acronym his son recalled somethhing he'd heard: F'ing Old Rebuilt Dodge. Dad darn near fell on the floor laughing at that one---I've remembered it ever since.
These are good though---have to make this a sticky?

Hate that such a fun thread gets buried with time....Several years ago we witnessed a jeep trying to launch his boat and backed off the side of the ramp (that was wide enough to launch 3 boats) and set the axle on the ramp. He was hung up bad enough that he couldn't get traction and get out of his situation. Well, I was there with my bass club and thought, "this is too good to be true", and ran for the truck. Dropped the trailer in record time and backed up to the front of the jeep to pull him loose. Somewhere, a buddy has a picture of my Ford F150 pulling the stuck Jeep free. It was the first time I heard "Found Often Rescuing DumbA$$es".
I swear there should be some sort of test for new boat owners who intended to pull their own trailers and attempting launching the boats also DIY. Long long time ago me and two other boat owning friends would get up just about sunrise, head for the reservoir and ski for a while--until the masses arrived and turned it all into a choppy mess. We'd trailer the boat and grab a spot closest to the ramp just to watch the uninitiated create havoc. Good lord some of the stuff we saw ranged from comical to impressive to downright dangerous. Along with a huge lack of experience the level of unpreparedness the casual boaters had was amazing.
Mind you this was long, long before YouTube.

And yes the internerd has brought stupid human tricks/antics to light in a huge way.
Here are some of mine: (forgive me if some have already posted)
DODGE – Drips oil, drops grease everywhere.
MUSTANG – Motor usually strains, transmission almost no good.
CAMARO – Can a mechanic actually repair one?
FORD -- FORD: OLD RELIABLE DEALER
FOMOCO – Fragile only moving over clumsy obstacles.
GENERAL MOTORS MARK OF EXCELLENCE – General Morons Mark of Ignorance.
BMW – Bowel Movement Wagon.
PORSCHE – Pathetic, overly rich social climbers’ humble excuse.
FERRARI – Fragile, expensive ride repels all reasonable individuals.
AUDI – Accelerates under demonic influence.
CHRYSLER – Chairman has recommended you start learning engine repair.
Enjoy.
