Default Re: Sunday Drivers question

There are still jokes made about the Chevy Nova down along the border (I lived in El Paso for many years), but it didn't have a thing to do with any unusual intercourse activities -- basically, in Tex-Mex (which is the variant of Spanish spoken a lot down there) "No va" means "doesn't go." Which, you will admit, is both a funny name for a car, and also kind of bad advertising... ;-)

And it WAS a Chevy -- which at the time, weren't exactly the most reliable cars on the market, though I don't remember the Nova being particularly bad in that regard (unlike the Vega)!
