Not a car, but remember when Superman became lazy?

Not sure about the rest of the world, but Range Rovers
have had a pretty poor reputation over the years! My
brother in law has had a few, they were money pits! He
then bought an Izuzu Trooper and it was a reliable
workhorse.

Bill is wrong. I think autocorrect is at fault here. Bill meant to type Škoda Favorit, but autocorrect changed it to Range Rover. 

The Range Rover is fuel-efficient and economical in every way. No Range Rover has ever broken down. And since 1970, Range Rovers have even been able to drive themselves. The microprocessor in a Range Rover makes it impossible for the car to deviate from any road rules.

That Justice Jogger is hilarious! Looks like something from The Micronauts line recycled. :^)

I mean, I'm sure that even the top speed of that Justice Jogger cannot compare to the speeds the likes of Superman and the Flash can reach.

Unless it's for when they are injured. But what use is that? "Oh, I have caught up to Lex Luthor in this Justice Jogger, which I'm using due to ill health, but now I have, I'm afraid I lack the energy or power to be much use."

What a bizarre piece of merchandise.

I thought one of my two classic `dream cars' would make a good superhero vehicle: 1971 Barracuda HEMI, hardtop version.

(I'm also partial to the `64, but it looks better as a convertible, I think.)

My other dream car, a 1955 Thunderbird, probably wouldn't look great as a superhero car, unless the story was set in the 50's.

You could have a faux-Thing finish, of orangey rocks.

No, Bill, that's a specific feature to that car. It deploys fire for certain purposes via a command from the artificial intelligence within the car.

Spontaneous combustion even in sub zero temperatures,
trusty old Range Rover! ;-)
