To celebrate Halloween, here is an offbeat cartoon featuring a Gremlin.  Warning, if you don't have a weird sense of humor, you probably won't think this is very fun

Only 390 Horse Power?  Heck, my Ambo 360 has 320+.  They need to tweak that Gremlin a bit considering all of the mods it has.

ive been watching dukes of hazard lately, im through the area where the coffin nose matadors were used as patrol cars already, although a fury will magically morph into a coffin nose, and then morph back into the fury. the earlier body style matador seems to show up more often, and generally seem to get destroyed. there is a few cj7s and a grand wagoneer or two that appear as well after AMMC started supplying new vehicles

In the video for Beverly Hills by Weezer, there is a Gremlin that pulls up to the Playboy Mansion as they are performing the song
