"Pidgin German" dashboard control labels such as Das Glimmerblinken for the light switch, Der Drizzleflippen for wiper switch, Die Warmercougher for choke, Das Schmokegedunka for ashtray, and Der Puttersparken for the ignition. http://www.bugstories.com/viewtopic.php?t=5&sid=91ea60b6a46219a6a37b865d395fc7e6I love this kind of humor! I first saw it in April at the Coronado car show (last photo of the set http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/04/cool-stuff-i-found-at-coronado-car-show.html ) in this car http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/04/1951-mercedes-170da-in-afrika-corps.html
or in German...
Das Glimmerblinken" (für Lichtschalter), "Das Drizzleflippen" (für den Scheibenwischer), "Die Warmercougher" (für Starthilfezugknopf), "Das Schmokegedunka" (Ascher) oder "Der Puttersparken" (für Zündung).http://wissen.spiegel.de/wissen/dokument/dokument.html?id=46272808&top=SPIEGEL
One not on this bug is "Der Coolercougherventenflippen" for the vent lever http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=256567
1971 Impala, one of 497,000 made, and I doubt we'll ever see another one again. Strange trunk shape and design though.
