What does your car say about you?

While driving my kids to school this morning I was noticing all the brand names of cars. I pulled up behind an "Acura Vigor" and thought that was a pretty ambitious name for a car...especially this early in the morning. Then I saw a minivan that was called a "Sport". Really??? Isn't "Sport" what you call someone when you can't remember their name? "Hey there sport, how are you today?"

I personally drive a "Honda Odyssey" and I started to wonder what the exact definition would be. Luckily Dictionary.com provides a link that I can embed in my blog so we can all find out what we are driving.
