What's the name of your car?
Edvard:
Jerry. A blue mid-80's Ford Escort hatchback that eventually blew a water pump. Got me and my girlfriend (now wife) from art school and back to our respective homes for almost a year.
Curt:
The original story is dreadful. Errors all over. :down:
1) Laputa... The Spanish word puta means little girl. Yes, it is also being used as slang for whore, but that doesn't change the innocent original, except for the dirty-minded.
2) Pajero: "Penis"? No, it does not mean penis in any language!
3) Lacrosse is a game and nothing else.
4) Nova. Nova means new and has never meant no go!
5) Ascona. Ascona in Switzerland is located on the shore of Lake Maggiore. The town is a popular tourist destination, and holds a yearly jazz festival, the Ascona Jazz Festival.
Google Spanish-English Translator has nothing to say about ascona.
6) Fitta. There never even was a Honda Fitta!!
The Honda Fit or Honda Jazz is a five-door hatchback subcompact manufactured by Honda, first introduced in June 2001 and now in its second generation. The name "Jazz" is used in Europe, Oceania, the Middle East, and Africa and some parts of Asia, —while the name "Fit" is used in Japan, China, and the Americas.

Maybe the article was funny to some, but it is really not worth reading.

I think we're in accord. Perhaps it was the prelude to something better.
Curt:
-oh, Honda is no stranger to you, I see. Sadly I don't know a relevant pun.

I've owned many different makes and models. Both foreign and domestic. But in English they were all named "shitbox."
