B'b'but... what the heck will people call it?

Hmm,

every 4 wheel drive is called a "jeep"

All vacuum cleaners are known as "hoovers" or "oovers".

All dirrigables are called zepelins


They will be called a "Nokia", of course.


News flash.
An Australian "Jeep" driver, has just been caught on radar speed trap. He did the math's, between the two points he was clocked, he would have had to have accelerated up to 15,000 MPH, in under 100 yards. I want that jeep.
