"I mean, he had some freakin' muscle!"

The Gremlin is a 1973 AMC Gremlin, that was used during the flashlight story in Homestarloween Party as The Goblin's car. During the story, Bubs claims that The Goblin jacked it up on some fat tires, tuned it up on some 4.11 positrak outback 750 double pumper Edelbrock intake 4 over 30 11-to-1 pop-up pistons turbo jets 390 horsepower, and even added a flux capacitor from the Back To The Future movies. It was then thrown offscreen by The Robot but ended up relatively unscathed. After the cartoon, all of the customizations were taken out.

It appeared in Where's The Cheat? in which Strong Mad turned it over in his search for The Cheat, only to find Nebulon. It was then again used in Dangeresque 1: Dangeresque, too? as Dangeresque's car, despite its obvious inoperability. In Main Page 19, the Gremlin appears when you mouse over the "Store" button. It also made an appearance in the Senorial Day holiday short, mostly to give Senor Cardgage's commercial a hint of "car sales" flavor, despite the event having apparently nothing to do with selling cars per se. According to road trip, the Gremlin has an eight-track player, and its windows and doors are broken so that they cannot be opened from the inside.
