<\/center>While on my way to help some friends with their computer, I spotted this beast. It’s an AMC Gremlin, a car model of some considerable notoriety. I’m not sure of the brand\/model of the chassis to which it’s affixed, but it makes a pretty proportional 4×4. Now it just needs some paint and TLC.<\/p>\nThe license plate reads “MOGWAI.” For those of you who don’t get that… you are obviously not children of the 1980s. That or you didn’t see this movie.<\/a> In any case, I caught the reference instantly.<\/p>\n This was a pleasant surprise, because I already had the “4×4 Mongrel Trifecta” completed:<\/p>\n I figured my work was done with the trifecta.

<\/center>Then there’s the 4×4 Mercedes. I bet the engineers back in Stuttgart never imagined this! No idea on the chassis here.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.bismarck-mandan.com\/images\/fourbyfirebird.jpg\")
<\/center>I called this one a “Four by Firebird.” I’ll put this one up against KITT in the original Knight Rider any day! This one is on a Chevy S-10 chassis, which I knew by sight but also from the “Vortec” sticker on the side of the car.<\/p>\n
