    Jalopnik names Mercury Marauder 10th Scariest car ever made

    I'm not just posting this because a Marauder's in it. This has to be the funniest article about cars I've read that wasn't written by Jeremy Clarkson.

    If Vader tools around in a GNX and the reaper has a Roadmaster wagon then Satan himself drives around in an Alfa Romeo Montreal. Don't let the name fool you: The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing the world that he was a Canadian. As Dante will tell you, the Antichrist is clearly an Italian guy and we don't imagine that his unholiness would drive around in a Ferrari. There's no doubt the Montreal's evil-looking grimace, angry NACA duct and 1970s Italian dependability make it the perfect car for lapping the eighth circle of Hell.
    He is Canadian, sort of.

    His name is Santa, which you wise few will realize is an anagram for Satan. He lives in Northern Canada and changes the holiday of the birth of Christ into a Holiday of giving and getting gifts. Greed, a time of holiday joy and Greed. Come on did you not ever wonder?

    Rides a sleigh that flies through the sky pulled by several Horned flying beasts, one of which glows red.

    Sleigh - Slay.
    Elves - Slaves.

    He has a work force of Slaves or Elves that work tirelessly year round and deliver to all the little kids gifts on the day they are supposed to be in chruch celebrating Jesus's life.

    He slides down your fireplace, is immune to fire or at home in fire.

    Doesn't any of this ring a bell?

    Changed holy to Holly.

    Anyway I wish you all a great Chirstmas.

    (CC) I'll let you work that out.

    I am the Diabolical1 CC.

    What colour of Marauder do you think Santa would drive?

    That was great, thanks for posting! It said the Grand National only pulled a 13.26 in the quarter, I thought they were faster? Doesn't someone on here own one?
