Lots of inside humor with the name.
First started in '84 when a group of us working at Metromedia (now Fox)
loaded a full size van with audio visual equipment calling the venture LIM
Prod(uctions). Our mascot/logo was some dude holding out his pants by the
belt saying "[LI M(obile) Prod] Ain't no big thing". 5 weeks after we
finished loading the van we all agreed to sell it for a huge profit with
intentions of building another. Never happened and LIM Prod disbanded.
The mention of Limprod came up when I was in the USAF, almost becoming my
call sign. Fortunately for me there was a Nimrod among us so an alternative
name was needed to avoid confusion. The name Limprod somewhat got
transferred to a '79 Mustang that I "fixed or repaired daily".
Limprod surfaced again 10 years later after a Kings fan/friend equipped a
mannequin with full hockey/goalie equipment and named it Pierre Limprod.
Roadster content - Friends knew me for the all V-8, large cars and full size
pick up trucks I've previously owned... 2003 - enter the Roadster. My
friends shocked that I bought an import, the car having only 4 cylinders, in
addition to being shadowed by the so called Hot Rods, it quickly became the
Limp-rod.
...but I can still hook you up on the Viagra.
