My girlfriend constantly mistakingly calls my car a Honda "Wii". I'm not sure why exactly. I mean, I have a Nintendo Wii, but it's not like it's brought up in conversation very much at all. And why is the name applied to my car? Is this weird? Anyone else have this predicament?

 

Wii Fit

 

HAHAHA. that might be why.

*edit* does she call your nintendo a nintendo fit? LOL

 

haha, no she doesn't surprisingly. But I actually do think it might be because of the game package, the "Wii fit". I think their marketing is similar too, something that is cheap, practical and fun for all ages.

 

haha. and gets great mpg! LOL

 

there's also a line of children's toys called vtech. idk if anyone else knew that but me haha

VTech Electronics - VTechKids.com

 

Honda Wii, Wii Fit, atleast she was close, my girl don't even know the name of the car.



"Vtech" used to also make cordless phones over 15 yrs ago. They were kinda like kiddy toys....

 

"Hi, I'm Matt and I drive a Honda Wii Fit."

 

lol WDA... Wii drivers anonomys

 

Wii whoooooooooooo lol

 

haha vtech=electronics
vtec=honda type

 

vtech also makes telephones ;D

 

hmmm might be from the wii commercials they used to have a long time ago when the two japanese guys would come out of their super small car and say 'we would look to play' maybe your gf is just making fun of how 'small' the fit is lol

 

lol it wasn't THAT long ago! it was no more than 7 years ago; i don't know when they stopped (or if they ever did) but the last time i checked ~7 years ago, there were still vtech phones.

 

I just got a cordless vtech phone at Costco a little over a year ago.. It seems to work pretty well so far

 

maybe its cause when she rides in the fit and you go down a hill it reminds her of a roller coaster and she throws her hands in the air and says "WWWWWWWWWiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii"

 

lol

No, when I drive like that, she just turns to me and goes, "Babe, it is not that serious..."

 

Hahah. Yeah im guessing its due to the popular "Wii Fit" game.

 

Yeah I shoulda worded it differently. But it was 15 years ago, in 1993 I used to work for an electronics retailer, and I still remember when they sent us the models to put on display, the whole sales crew made fun of the name (ie. Is it DOHC, or SOHC?), and threw the handsets around like footballs.. ahh the memories. A few years later they weren't selling that good (with that retailer) so they stopped carrying them, the retailer also went out of business a few years after that too.. Irony..

I'm sure they must still sell some models here and there. sorry to derail.





With all this talk about Wii Fit, I'm thinking of adding a Wii sticker to my car and really throwing people off... Wiiiiiiiiiiii
Maybe take off the H logo and put a Nintendo logo.
