After explaining over and over what PLAN 9 was and not having anyone younger than 30ish knowing what it is... The crew here decided to change the name of the car. The kids and I (mostly the kids) decided to call it ........ The GERMAN 8 TOR ......... As my boy says its a German car and a German 8 Cyl motor so shorten it up and walla The German 8 Tor. I will contact Lawrence to change the build heading so It stays consistant. I will also include the name change in the thread.

At first I wondered "Who makes 8 door car?" 'Tor' = door

It took a few more readings catch up. Its quite punny.

A few more readings after that I think and now I think 'Germinater' -- some kind of botanist that helps the grasses get their freak on to make little grasslings.

Stick with Plan 9. The masses had spoken.
