Hah! I can't remember most of the suckers, but I do remember that
the letters were actually abbreviations, and that <A> stood for
"Automatic Jacks." Remember, the Mach 5 was a race car, and having
built-in jacks sure sped things up in the pits. 

It was just a helpful side-effect that lowering the jacks when the 
car was in motion made it jump over things...

BTW, for those of you in the S.F. Bay area, "Speed Racer" is on *really*
early in the Saturday A.M. on some pissant station. I seem to recall
it used to on in N.Y., too...probably if you truly want to watch it, 
you can find it somewhere. (I could only take it for about three
minutes before I shut off the TV and went back to sleep...)
