As you know, our Zero to Sixty video of the week series is usually tailored for a quick burst of energy, but every now and then we like to make an exception. This week\u2019s video is a bit longer, but that\u2019s because it\u2019s chock full of knowledge. Specifically, it\u2019s an episode of everyone\u2019s favorite quirky list-based information show, Mental Floss<\/a>, in which host John Green goes over thirty-two car name meanings.<\/p>\n Green explains the meanings of both car manufacturer names and car model names, and make sure you\u2019re paying attention because he goes through them pretty quickly. Some of the items on the list are simple because they are the named after people or places, but others are more interesting. Do you know, for example, where we get the word Nissan from? What naming theme do the Toyota Corolla and Camry follow? Who was Mercedes<\/a>? What was the Volkswagen Beetle originally called? If you don\u2019t know now, you\u2019ll know after watching the video.<\/p>\n
