* Brian "Grue" Laborn's car in the ''[[Worm]]'' [[Alternate Universe Fic]] ''[[Mauling Snarks]]'', bought from a Nazi-owned used car lot and deliberately sabotaged, is actually described using the trope name. Fortunately for him, Taylor's Tinker power notices its ''many'' problems before the car kills him, and it gets repaired ''and'' improved by Wrench Wraith (the former Squealer).
