It's a reference to the traditional phrase used during the ascension of a new king (the king is dead, long live the king!... Le roi est mort, vive le roi!)... it isn't disrespectful of the old king (he was the father of the new king, after all, and just died), but it proclaims that his son continues to rule, all in one sentence (hence the string of the monarch's reign is never broken).

Hence, re-applied to the M-Rod, it just means the old one was the king, and his son is now the new king... so no disrespect!

We may be just a few of the CAPOF team old enough to remember that, and the Edsel too. Long live push-button shifters!

Had a '63' Plymouth Belvedere with a push button trans.  Had it out on a moonlit wet hayfield one night.  Wind it up in low, crank the wheel, push drive and it's like the tilt-a-whirl.  The girls really liked that action.

Now if you could have found the girl button to push.

Dies ist kein normales Gespräch für eine Ente.

This is less normal conversation for someone, duck?
