The look of the car itself was only one of the bat-shit crazy parts of that movie. Shameless plug, but here’s our take on Reels & Wheels: https://reelsandwheels.libsyn.com/knight-rider-2010-with-ed-carden-reels-and-wheels

As the co-host of Reels & Wheels Podcast, I feel required to weigh in here. And the answer is an easy one: ANY KNIGHT RIDER REBOOT.

People are probably gonna come @ me over this, but any of the NASCAR machines from like 1981-1982. The boxy end of the malaise era with government bumpers made for some extremely awkward looking race cars.

Jalopnik: Was this car hauler smash a van directly into a freeway overpass

My Dad inspired my love of cars. He had a lot of cool cars, including snagging a 1990 Miata when they were so new that he had to fend off other buyers to buy it before even seeing the car, an ‘84 Rabbit convertible that I found for him when I was in 5th grade, and one of those extended 2-door Jeep Unlimiteds before…

The SN95 rubbed me the wrong way when it debuted because it really looked like it lifted styling cues from the current Toyota Celica, which is completely nuts because the original Celica completely (honestly should have been lawsuit-worthy) ripped off the Mustang.

I’ve done the one-way rental car thing a few times. Worth it every time -

Oldsmobile’s Rocket will always have my heart.

This one happened to my wife, (no, she didn’t cause it...): She was traveling from Norfolk to Newport News, VA through the Monitor-Merrimack Bridge Tunnel. We’re locals, so we’re both unfazed by tunnels. (I wish everyone could maintain speed in them, but whatever). As she was nearing the end of the tunnel, she started…

Was looking in my father’s BMW once and found this weird stick-thingy on the side of the steering column. Made a clicking sound when you pushed it up or down. No idea if it had any use.

Pop-up headlights!

Nissan Altima. I don’t know how it came to be the go-to car for shitty drivers, but whenever I see one in my peripheral vision I know I’m about to get cut off.

Our driver’s ed class had a few weeks of “on the range” training where we drove cars on an enclosed parking lot course. We partnered two people to a car and did basic maneuvers together. One particular day, my partner and I “lucked out” and got the newest car, a first-gen Chevy Cavalier sedan. We were generally pretty…

We need a deadpan comedy about the conception of the Pontiac Aztek. 

Wheels that are actually concave! At some point in the 90's, wheels stopped dishing inwards and started looking more flat. Probably because of aerodynamics and making a compact footprint while still accommodating disc brakes, but wheels looks so much better when they had depth.

The city I live in hosts an international auto show every year in January. A key player in making that show happen was a good friend and colleague in the PR industry who handled the automobile dealers association’s PR. He always got the coolest accounts in town, was a really colorful guy, and a gentleman. For years,…

When I first got my ‘68 Cutlass, it had an Olds 350 V8, which soon developed a knock. After some research, I quickly learned that parts for a 350 rebuild were roughly the same price as parts for rebuilding an Olds big block, so I got a 425 Olds from a junkyard and rebuilt that instead. Not that much more money, big…

Gave this some thought and I feel like every time we discuss worst cars the Kia Rondo sneaks quietly by, hoping we won’t notice. It’s easily the weakest attempt at “Hey, this car is really an SUV” to ever roll off a car lot. It’s probably great from a utilitarian perspective - how can it not be with such skewed…

Lol - When my mother wrecked hers, she remembers standing in the shop at the Subaru dealership (car was a month old) and the mechanic looking at the completely trashed front end and saying “I can fix that.”

I feel like this is an elaborate troll by Bugatti, as they feel like they sold a car to someone with a screw loose.
