The Gremlin is an AMC Gremlin sitting around in Free Country, USA. It was used as Dangeresque's car in the Strong Bad Email "[[dangeresque 3]]."

The '''Gremlin''' is an {{w|AMC Gremlin}}. A popular subcompact car produced in America during the 1970s, the Gremlin's retro [[style]] is fitting with [[Strong Bad's Technology|many elements]] of [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]]. It appears to be a 1973 Gremlin X model, indicated by its {{w|Trim level (automobile)|trim level}}.

The Gremlin was first introduced as a fictional vehicle owned by [[The Goblin]], made up by [[Bubs]]; however both Goblin and Gremlin [[Made-up Real Things|soon appeared as real things]] in [[Free Country, USA]].
+

It is unclear who owns the Gremlin. In [[Where's The Cheat?]], The Goblin is seen hiding underneath it. It 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. In [[road trip]], Strong Bad has ownership of the Gremlin, likely having bought it from Bubs. However, Bubs was seen behind the wheel of the Gremlin in [[Blubb-O's Commercial]] (with the car inoperable, standing on four [[cinder block]]s). Bubs refers to the Gremlin as his car in [[sbemail 206]], while Coach Z refers to it [[Coach Z's Problems#Financial|as his apartment]].

Strong Bad has used the car in his production of action movies, though it is infrequently seen actually driving. It has appeared as [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]]'s car, later dubbed "DangeCar-esque", in ''[[dangeresque 3|Dangeresque 1: Dangeresque, too?]]'', ''[[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]]'', and ''[[Dangeresque Puppet Squad: The Hot Jones Hijack]]''. In the action-packed [[Rough Copy!|credit sequence]] of [[rough copy]], Strong Bad and [[The Cheat]] are seen driving the Gremlin.
+
-
 
+
-
It also appears in [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]], but is referred to generically as "Cool Car", "hot car" (in [[Baddest of the Bands]]), or "DangeCar-esque". This is likely done for copyright reasons. In [[Strong Badia the Free]], the Gremlin became two countries, Frontzeatserland and Hatchbackistan.
+

+
-
It appeared on the [[Everybody Everybody Poster]], despite not being a character.
+

+
-
The car's [[Puppet Character Variations|puppet variation]] is a miniature model Gremlin, painted to have its distinctive white and red colors. Due to its size, Strong Bad and The Cheat are portrayed by [[Homestar Runner Figurines|their figurine models]] rather than regular puppet iterations when riding inside.

In Bubs's contribution to the flashlight story in [[Homestarloween Party]], he describes it as [[The Goblin]]'s car. During his story, the Gremlin is upgraded with a great deal of features (many quoting a scene from ''{{w|Dazed and Confused (film)|Dazed and Confused}}''):
+
-
* Jacked up on fat tires
+
-
* 4.11 Positrac outback
+
-
* 750 double pumper
+
-
* {{w|Edelbrock}} intake
+
-
*Bore over .30
+
-
*11-to-1 pop-up pistons
+
-
*Turbo-jet 390 horsepower
+
-
* {{w|Flux capacitor}} (from ''[[Back to the Future]]'')
+

When the Gremlin [[Made-up Real Things|appears in Free Country, USA]], it has never been seen with these customizations. To the contrary, it is rarely even seen to be capable of running. It has [[Lack of Visible Arms|no visible door handles]], and its windows and doors are broken so that they cannot be opened from the inside. It does have an [[8-Tracks|eight-track player]].
