The kanji for what is puzzlingly called the Great Vehicle of the Law, Mahayana Buddhism, are 大乗仏教- great ride buddhism teach. Not that 乗 is a vehicle where I come from, but possibly in ancient Chinese it was, in addition to the 'numerary adjunct for vehicles' that mandarintools says it can be.
I did always wonder about that.
