A serious muscle car

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 Visor 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 The Goblin. 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.
