''Gekisō Sentai Carranger'' (Extreme Rush Squadron Carranger) is the twentieth installment in the ''[[Super Sentai]]'' series, airing from 1996 to 1997. It's about a group of [[Idiot Hero|idiot workers]] at Pegasus Garage who use the power of car-shaped constellations to fight a group of [[Quirky Miniboss Squad|idiot aliens]] called "Space Bosozoku Bowzock" (note: "bosozoku" is the Japanese name for biker gangs).

* [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]]: A great deal of episodes, if not all, have terminology relating to roads and driving.

* [[In the Name of the Moon]]:

'''Yoko''': "''PinkRacer!''"|'''All''': "Fighting for traffic safety! ''Gekisou Sentai - CaaaarrrRanger!''"}}

* [[Law of Chromatic Superiority]]: The Carrangers don't really have a leader within their [[Five-Man Band]] - Dappu (and briefly, VRV Master) basically points them in the direction of the Bowzocks when they appear - until about halfway through, when VRV Master finally gets this into Kyousuke's head. He then gets hepped on the idea, [[Crowning Moment of Funny|takes it a bit too far]], and eventually [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|recovers the stolen RV Robo by himself]].

* [[Cool Car|Cool Cars]]: The whole point of the show. (In-show as well, since the Ranger Vehicles were based off of the Carrangers' "Dream Car"... models.)

* [[Cool Old Guy]]: VRV Master, with a <s>bit</s> LOT of [[Large Ham]] involved. And while he turns out to have brought them the Victory Ranger Vehicles in VicTrailer, the Carranger's first impression?

'''Yoko''': "He goes right past suspicious and into ''creepy''..." }}

* [[Dating Catwoman]]: When Kyousuke realizes Zonnette likes him (but not that she likes Red Racer, regardless of who is wearing the helmet), he decides to try and make things right between them. It doesn't work {{spoiler|at first}}.

* [[It Is Pronounced "Tro-PAY"]]: In-universe, due to the way they introduce themselves, it's not pronounced "Carranger" - the majority pronounce it "'''Caaaaaaaaarranger!'''".

*** Lampshaded in episode 12, when Signalman pulls Red Racer over for speeding and asks his name:

'''Signalman''': Gekisou Sentai ''(wobbling his head in imitation) Caaaaaaaaaaaaarranger'''s Red Racer? What is that? }}

*** And a few seconds later, when Kyousuke's teammates come in a rush to stop him from beating Signalman up:

** The aliens - all of them! - [[AcCENT Upon the Wrong SylLABle|pronounce it Chiikyu, not Chikyuu]] (Earth). (The Carrangers give up correcting them early on.)

* [[Kansai Regional Accent]]: Minoru, the team's [[The Idiot From Osaka|idiot from Osaka]].
