<VV> VV Engine names - no Corvair - humor

... since somebody mentioned it ...
 
Back in the day, I took a college class wherein I had to rebuild two engines during the semester.  The one I was assigned for the second half was a Chrysler 225 Slant Six.  The first day I was working on it (with my lab partner), the instructor came over and casually asked us, "What kind of engine you got here?"  Before I could answer, the lab partner said, "Oldsmobile!"  The next question, of course, was "Oldsmobile WHAT?"  "Oldsmobile 226 Slant Five."  After that, till the end of the course, we put Oldsmobile 226 Slant Five on all our lab  papers.  It was good for a few chuckles.
