I CAN’T believe that nobody’s mentioned this one yet… The _Executor_ - 17 kilometers long, armed with hundreds of turbolasers, ion cannons, and comes equipped with CD/Cassette/AM/FM, air conditioning, power everything, and 144 TIE fighters. Has (800 trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion)[sup]2[/sup] horsepower, and seats several tens of thousands. And as an added bonus… no Firestone tires to worry about. 😃 ---

Ford Grand Inquisitor – “You’ll be a convert soon” Pontiac Anomaly – “You’ve never seen a sports car like _this_ before” Jeep Annihilator – “\*\*\*\*\* Five star crash rating in car-pedestrian accidents” Mitsubishi Audacity –“Directional lights are for wimps. Gold rims at 80 more hp!” Good point about exotic place names. You are not going to see the Chevy Hoboken any time soon. ---
