The Suzuki SJ410 was one of the most cultish cars ever. It was a Beechies ad wrapped in a day-glo Gotcha jacket with Sambuca stains on the lapel at your parent’s holiday house in Umdloti where you had your first sexual experience on some rocks with a shark tooth necklace and a head full of ideas nicked from glimpses of Michelle Pfeiffer’s funbags. It was in the purest sense, fun and I’m pretty convinced Suzuki had no idea what they were doing.
Like windsurfing, but manageable and vaguely cool.
Currently the OverdriveTV garage contains a brand new Kia Soul. It’s an interesting thing for sure; those looks are, um, polarising at best. But we’re happy to report it’s a very competent and comfortable run around.
We’ll have a full report up next week but in the meantime we’ve realised Kia has inadvertently come up with the best car name ever, which has lead to the both of us wasting an entire afternoon laughing. You see if you substitute the word ‘soul’ for ‘car’ in everyday motor-related speak, you end up with a literally infinite list of wonderful puns. For instance: “You left your lunch in my soul”.
Click through for a list our favourites. We want you to come up with some more. At the end of the week glory and praise will be heaped on the creator of the best pun.
