Let’s Come Up With Names For Groups Of Cars. You Know, Like A Murder Of Crows, But Cars

Cargroupnames Top

A clever and funny friend of mine once told me that she calls groups of Honda Fits, seen in parking lots or roaming free in the wild, a conniption of Fits. This delighted me, so I’m going to repay her cleverness by stealing this idea and running with it for my own personal gain, in this very post right here. Why don’t we have clever names for groups of particular cars? Why do crows with their murders and lions with their prides and rhinos with their crashes get all the fun? They shouldn’t, those smug-ass animals. Time to give groups of cars a chance!

So, with that in mind, we’ve come up with a bunch of names for groups of kinds of cars. Some are specific models, some are entire brands, it just depends. And, we’ve tried to keep this upbeat and pro-car, because our publisher Matt yelled at me when I suggested a Douche of Teslas or an Insecurity of Lamborghinis. So, for the most part I’ll try to make these non-derogatory, but I’m kind of a jerk sometimes, so some might slide in.

But I mean, come on, we can’t be offending any Vega owners, right? They knew what they got into. Anyway, I’ll try to be nice.

I think it’s traditionally been “a virtue of Priuses”.

Viggen means “the thunderbolt”, which somehow doesn’t feel very Saab-y. In England they would call it a Cardigan of Saabs (based on the typical Saab owner’s favorite apparel).
A troll of Saabs? Flight of Saabs? A turbine of Saabs?
I was considering an elbow patch of Saabs, referring to professors, and that led me to my favorite:
“A tenure of Saabs”

I thought that was a reference to the Swedish band The Cardigans!

The one for the Pacers should be “A Mirth of Pacers,” referencing the Mirthmobile from Wayne’s World.

Somehow I missed the “Humility of Renault 4s”, and holy shit did I laugh out loud just now.

Although to be fair, a Pride of Fours would be more accurate. You won’t find one Renault 4 owner who isn’t bursting with pride about it. We don’t envy each other’s Quatrelles, we love our own like no other. Get an owner of an impeccably restored one and someone who daily drives a rust bucket and try to figure out which one is which just from how they talk about how much they love their car. I promise you, it’s impossible. We love and compliment each other’s Renault 4s, but none is better than ours. Or worse, for that matter. Just a tiny bit less special.
