i do remember the old "Nova's the car that doesn't go" when i was a little kid.
there was also the car that gets invited to all the parties: "Mercedes Benz"... in this case, Benz = Ven (come in spanish)
my favorite was the car that always shuts down (turns off) in the rain: "Renault Fuego (fire in spanish)" el carro que siempre se apaga en la lluvia...
in spanish, the verb "apagar" can mean to turn something off (shut it down) or... to put out a fire (extinguish)
it was funny 'cause back then there were many cars that really shut off in the rain so the first time i heard this i was like... "really? it shuts down?......... oh, i get it:~P"
