V-22 Osprey. It hit some speed bumps in its initial launch and testing, but will soon be a mainstay in the Marine fleet. Also, Incinerator from Transformers.
When I was a student at Oral Roberts University in the early 2000s, then First Lady Lindsey Roberts used to occasionally bring a money booth (the kind that injected air into the booth and caused the money to shoot around) to our bi-weekly chapels and select a student to go up on stage and enter the pit.

I keep trying to come up with a funny comment about GM, Goodwrench and Dale Earnhardt, but I can't. So I'll just start typing a list of things that I want in said funny comment and let you guys assume the rest:
"Toyota Highlander tastes like burning."
Ford Fox platform, most notable for the 79-93 Mustang (which looked way better than the SN-95, BTW), sure got around. You guys might want to double up on the rubbers:

@Buster Brew: I will admit, I've never driven an XJ with the 2.8. I had the 4.0 and my older brother used to drive an XJ with the 2.5.

@m2m: Well, it does technically run on petroleum spirits...close enough.
