10 Funniest Cars
Top 10 Funniest Cars
By Alonzo Bodden
A magazine asked me to write my top 10, here they are
Â
1-  Fiat 500 - I never drove anything this small. Its fun to be in a car that looks up to Mini Cooper’s as if they are limos. Did I mention its powered by a 500cc motorcycle engine? Just the thing to get out of the way of rampant SUV’s. Of course if you are under 5 ft tall and want 1000 mpg, its perfect
2-  AMC Pacer – Of course anything by AMC could make the list, but lets look at the Pacer, the first wide small car. AMC always liked to answer questions no one asked, like “why do you need a wide small car”? Then again, if you like riding in a fishbowl, there is only one choice
3-  AMC Eagle – While we are on AMC, how can we forget the Eagle. The first 4wd sedan. A 4-wheel drive sedan is a good idea. An ugly body grafted to a jeep chassis is not. Maybe they were trying to take the title of trailer trash car from the El Camino
4-  El Camino – Business in the front and fun in the back or was it fun in front and business in the back? Who know’s? I can’t remember. Listen Jeb, put the El Camino up on blocks, let it rust and go buy a real pick up truck
5-  Mercedes Unimog – This isn’t funny as much as it’s unbelievable. Huge, indestructible it will go anywhere and destroy anything in its path. Fun would be driving one to the next Sierra club rally.
6-  The Edsel – A spectacular example of doing things wrong. Sure it’s big and ugly but that’s balanced by the fact it’s underpowered and handles poorly. Way to go Ford
7-  The Pinto – What could be more fun than a car that would rust to pieces while you were waiting for someone to hit it so you could see the gas tank explode. Pintos weren’t exactly built Ford tough.
8-  The Popemobile – Jesus walked on water and they put the Pope in this. Are we sure they’re talking?
9-  Dodge Viper – Do one thing and do it well. 600 HP of pure acceleration for no reason at all. It can slam the front of your chest to the back of the seat and it doesn’t have the luggage space to carry a briefcase. I love this thing. Step on the gas and try not to laugh at the excess of it all.
10- The Minivan – Yes, it works, it’s a great way to carry the kids and their stuff, but what a sad way to castrate dad. That’s right dad, no matter how much you trick it out, you’re still driving a minivan. Sorry dad, the hottie you just drive past isn’t looking at you. She want’s you to move out the way so she can smile at the guy in the Porsche.
