IF you'd ever heard a Model T running you'd know... they have a nasal wheezie sound like "fliver fliver fliver" over and over. They were refered to as "flivers" because of it and it has been thus since. Go to an antique auto show sometime and listen to one. You'll have to smile !!!

some of the comments refered to an old dilapidated car or airplane. Interesting word!!
