I have a friend who owns an Edsel. He tells me that some 80 percent of the Edsels are still on the road. The rest of them made it home.

... the effort by the US in Western Iraq is called "Operation Matador," where the latter word literally means "Killer."
(The now-defunct American Motors Corporation once had a car called the Matador, I believe.)
AMC also had a car called the Gremlin, named after an imaginary gnomelike creature that causes mechanical problems. (I actually had a Gremlin and thought it was a pretty good car; I was in the distinct minority though.) Considering AMC's felicitous way with model names, it's not surprising the company is now defunct.
