Batman has the Batmobile, and Batgirl the Batbike, but what are Gotham’s villains supposed to drive? It looks like Cadillac has Two-Face covered at the very least. What would be some other good comic book villain vehicles?

Last Call: Half Off Edition

Cheapo, Stripperella’s nemesis, drove some variety of Ford Festiva or something. He was known to put off committing crimes while circling around looking for a meter with time still on it. At least he wasn’t a hypermiler.

Half?
That looks more like 45% off to me. -
If it were an early ’90s Caprice it would be (much like this joke)…
half a bubble off!!

Older econoboxes are treated with some respect here and I can fall for that appeal myself. I have driven Corollas with every mechanical linkage so tired, it felt like you couldn’t hurt it anymore. Sort of fun on gravel roads. But yesterday I had the chance to drive a Yaris back and forth….wow. The in-build sadness of plastic deserts, maximum cost savings and everything having been built for tiny women (I’m a 192cm male) took me as a shock. The sound of the 1.4l diesel wasn’t appealing either. I grew up with Trabants, Pandas and Twingos – and I realised I never want to go back to that as a daily driver. Sobering realization!

I had a US spec Yaris as a rent car. I took it back and got another car.
I can’t imagine having to drive that every day.-
Sort of relieved I am not alone on this. The ’96 Corolla my wife had for ages was very nice in comparison, which is a letdown. It’s a notch up, yes, but it was also probably ten years older than the Yaris I drove yesterday.

Given the amount of warping at the back of that poor Volvo, and how cockeyed it’s sitting, it almost looks less like the tractor-thing (is there a proper name for a piece of mobile equipment fitted with a ginormous chainsaw?) was actually cutting the Volvo, and more like it karate-chopped it with the blade not running. …which, actually, is a rather amusing image.

Well, to be fair, with its rear end chopped off and wearing those wheels and the shape of what’s left of the tail lamps I can see how it might be mistaken for a 343 or 360. It does appear to have both a C and D pillar, however.
-
Ah, thanks for the correction. The taillights, wheels, door handle, and the funny little elongated window between the C and D pillars had me thinking 740, but now that I look at the front bumper and forward fender edge that doesn’t quite fit. I wasn’t familiar with the Lada Samara 4-door, but this looks like it…er, was one.

That, mein freund, is a trencher blade used to prep for laying pipe or cable.
