>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.
