Honda BabyBoy was the Honda Tyrese used in picking his baby mama in the movie 'Baby Boy'. Honda EOD: Came from the newspaper advert. I can't recall the dealers (probably Dana Motors, but I may be mistaken). Under the pics of the car, they just reeled out features of the vehicle and ended the litany with 'End of Discussion'. The name stuck permanently. Two years later, the 2006 model landed and they started the advert with 'Discussion Continues'. Badt advert. Toyota Camry '98, a.k.a Pencil light. Cos the back lights are long and slim. The next model a.k.a wider light. You should know the reason. 2003 - 2005 Toyota Camry a.k.a Big for nothing. The dashboard is disappointingly spartan. The legroom is ginormous and I heard that the boot can comfortably contain a fully grown cow. Kidding. I don't know why there is the vehicle known as 'Evil Spirit'. Probably because of the head lamps that look like a diabolical pair of menacing eyes, ready to cast their evil spell on any poor soul who dares ventures across their path when the car is in motion. There's the Volkswagen 'Beetle'. I think it's known as the 'Bug' in the U.S. 2 Likes |
