To Buggy or not to Buggy?

[rdc]

Can anyone share with the rest of the Board why the Class One, and Class 10 open wheeled cars are still called "buggies"?

CART, FI, F3000, and the IRL dont call their premier open wheel cars "buggies". " ....and the number 12 buggy is coming into the pits here at the Brickyard, for a tire change. There's only 20 laps left to go in this years Buggy 500 race, for buggies...."

" Ralph Schumaker seems to be having some trouble with his Ferrari Buggy, thats bad news for the Italian Buggy fans....""

" ....Jaguar has announced it will be entering a new Buggy in the Formula Buggy Constructors Championship next year. Jaguar had this to say about their new buggy. " We are extremely pleased to be able to highlight our Brand, engineering skills and team work, by building a new JagBuggy in our backyards, and to be able to go out and skid around in the desert with a bunch of other buggies.....""

Can someone come up with a better name than "buggy"??



If you didn't see it on TV, did it really happen?
