I call those things "Perspire" since they actually break a sweat going up hills.

I could never understand why they named a car company after a woman's private parts.

Sunbeam Tiger
Every time I hear Sunbeam in regards to a car I can't help but think of kitchen accessories. My old shop forman has a '67 Sunbeam, not a Tiger (green of course). Every time I see it I think of Maxwell Smart and the cone of silence.

Yes.

I could have just said 'Sunbeam' it's a bad enough name for an automobile, but Sunbeam and Tiger just don't go together that well

The Aztek is pretty next to the B9 Tribeca.

Although the names are not that bad.
