In college I had a roommate one year who liked to listen to rap. In one of the songs he listened to the rapper mentioned driving around in his “Isuzu jeep”. I remember that because it always annoyed me, because an Isuzu is by definition not a Jeep. I know he probably just worded it that way because it rhymed, and was using “jeep” as a generic term for any 4x4, but it still bothered me. Unfortunately I have no idea who the artist was or what song it was… but there was some rap song from the 1990s that mentioned Isuzu. ---
