The Alleged Car: Difference between revisions
→Real Life
Line 556:
* The G-Wiz is a very tiny electric car. Ok, technically it is legally a "Heavy Quadbike" in Britain for it's extreme lack of power. It has extremely poor acceleration, you can't use any of the electronics such as the radio, since it will kill the G-Wiz's very small battery life, and basically disintegrates in a crash.
* And then there was the [[Great Depression]], in which motorists couldn't afford to maintain (or, in some cases, even fuel) cars they'd acquired as luxuries in the [[Roaring Twenties]]. More than a few broken-down vehicles were abandoned during the [[Grapes of Wrath]]-like trek westward out of the [[Dust Bowl]]. The most infamous vehicle in Hoovertown was the Bennett Buggy (aka the Hoover Wagon), a Model T Ford pulled by a horse for want of fuel. Only [[Sarcasm Mode|the wealthy]] could afford the two-horsepower model.
* Harley-Davidsons developed a dubious reputation for being Alleged Motorcycles due to their supposed lack of reliability, though this was more due to haphazard modifications by smart-aleck enthusiasts who customise their bikes without accounting for whether the two-wheeled Frankenstein's monster they created would take them places in one piece. To the detractors' credit however, the MoCo did suffer a decline in quality during their [[Dork Age]] when they were part of American Machine and Foundry, a [[Mega Corp]] known for producing nuclear facilities, yachts and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|tennis rackets]]. Such was the AMF era's notoriety that their factory lines had sections dedicated to rectifying any defects that showed up in their bikes during production, leading to the "Harley-Davidson" name to be mocked as "Hardly Ableson", "Hardly Driveable", and "Hogly Ferguson".
