what does the "DC" stand for?

Wouldn't it be the same as Washington DC?

It explains quite clearly in the article where the name came from. Teamgoon 19:47, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Being aquired by Quicksilver in 2004...wouldn't that make the rumor of 2000 some what real? "was bought by Quicksilver, - Not this part --->Ken got all the money, fired Damon so Danny quit."

[edit] But why?!

The article doesn't mention why everyone who wants to be cool puts a giant DC logo on their car. Curious minds want to know. --Buddy13 10:10, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
