On Fri, 13 Oct 95 08:42:57 CDT William Kennedy mumbled: >box car children? hmmm. food for thought. especially since all the buses are shaped like boxes. and the first three generations had a "boxer" engine (flat, horizontally-opposed cylinders ... even Bill's Porsche engine fits. :) maybe BoxKar? Boxer? Boxer-Shorts? BoxKinder? and, of course, if buses were considered "light", as in made-of-aluminum, why then we'd be "Boxites". :) <groan> but the 5-cylinder Eurovan's don't fit this convention ... but being bigger than our little 4-cylinder boxers, maybe the EV's are just "crates"??? :) :) <chortle/snuffle/guffaw/giggle!> of course, the more liberal politically-correct of you might be upset about this ... since it was a B-29 named "Bock's Car" that dropped the 2nd atom bomb on Japan in WWII. joel (old Boxhead)
