General MOotors is to spaceships what Colonel Sanders is to chickens

To chickens Colonel Sanders is the devil incarnate

So what is General MOotors to spaceships then if you extend the comparison?

So there are deep fried spaceships breaded with 11 herbs and spices out there?

Oh yes, everywhere. They're what  Stellar Serpents eat, didn't you know?

Don't forget the gravy, that's VERY important.

I shall start at once... however a few just don't work as DH pointed out

Another possible is Space-ROover (as in Land-Rover)?

That would be "Land Rover" (without a hyphen).

There would also be the more luxurious Range ROover. And the toughest competitor of course, the TOoyota SpacecrOoser. (Or would ToyOota be better? I guess Staer9 chose the optically more pleasing.)


And on a completely unrelated note: do we have an ad for HOover Fuel Scoops?

Trying to think a little more outside the box when it comes to "car-like" ads:

And of course last year I did...

Both nice DH! The Lave Roover should be either on the station walls or just outside it above planet Lave.

I think all the funny (or dangerous) food and drink found in the Ooniverse are one of the funniest things in the planet descriptions. I like the funny Tooyota ad.

One thing that would be cool if it could be done(don't think it can) would be to have 1 ad on a cargo pod that indirectly let's you know what general cargo is in the pod. For instance, the Reerquian edible moth scratchings are food and would be on a pod containing food. Also would be cool to have different ads for specialty products from all the planet descriptions. If this could be all linked together it would be excellent for immersion and perhaps just before scooping a pod you don't want you could see what it was and swerve away to find another pod instead.

I agree.
