    I wonder, Where did the name Gavril, Ibishiu, Burnside, ETK etc come from? As in the idea for the names.

    "Ibishu" sounds like some sort of a mashup of "Isuzu" and "Mitsubishi".

    "Gavril" could have something to do with the first name of the creator (@gabester, aka Gabe Fink, which I believe is the short/nickname for "Gabriel").

    Ibishu may also be a play on "Ebisu", a mythical Japanese god

    Everyone knows that, but the name still had to come from somewhere

    Apparently, "Gavril" is a form of "Gabriel", which is, well, Gabester's real name.

    ETK, much like BMW, is made of a bunch of complicated unpronounceable German words which anyone but a petrol head doesn't know, Gavril is the brand from Gabesters RoR mods, Burnside is also the name of one is his RoR mods, it being the name of what appears to be a sedan you would find in a junkyard, Ibishu is kinda like Mitsubishi ish, even though Hirochi is more similar to Mitsubishi and brands like that then Ibishu

    Ehy, I do know that, even if I'm no petrolhead. "Bayerishe Motoren Werke", or Bavarian Motor Factory.

    Curiously enough, that's pretty much the same choice for an acronym as "FIAT", "Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino" (Turin-based Italian Automotive Factory), although their cars are nothing alike... :D
