I have been doing contract work in toyota plants for most of the past 6 years so I have been to one too many sushi houses... Same for my wife, until she changed jobs a few months back.

I wanted WASAABI (i had to change the spelling because someone got it a few months before I got my 9-3). SHAABU is from "Shabu-shabu", a japanese dish that is very thin beef slices swished in hot water to cook it. "Shaabu" means "swish", the sound of the cooking of the beef. Since the turbo also makes its own swish/whoosh sound, my wife and I found it appropriate. She required her plate have the word saab in it, with other letters thrown in to make a word.

On our reserve list (wait until I get a ragtop):


English Swedish

Speedy snabb, snar
Quick kvick, hastig, flink, rask
Swift rask, snabb, kvick
Nimble flink
Hurry Up raska på
Horsepower hastkraft
Power/Strength/Force kraft, styrka, fömåga
Devil djävul, djäkel
Goodbye farväl
Destroyer jagare
Later on senare
drive åktur, bringa, driva, åka, köra
fly fluga, fly, flyga, gylf, vaja
enjoyment njutning
joy fröjd, glädje
fun/nice skoj
Lightning blixt
Damnit helsike, jäklar

Other Ideas

FLY SPG (english AND swedish!!!)
SKOJ SPG
GYLF SPG
VAJA SPG
SNABB SPG
SNAR SPG (you get the idea, adjective or verb + "SPG")
SNAAB

Another Clevelander has "KVIK ARO" on his 9-5 Aero.


[you can add double "A" in any of the above words where it makes sense]
