The Worst Scariest Cars of All Time

In the spirit of Halloween, we wanted to treat you to a rickety rollercoaster through a graveyard of automotive ghosts. Be prepared to be transported back in time as this impressive video collage of metal chunks flash before your eyes.

Warning: you may experience shortness of breath, seizures, heart palpitations, facial twitching, and uncontrollable gasps of horror between short bursts of laughter.

Hold onto your seats, folks, whether it’s in a used car or a new vehicle in Canada, this is going to be a frightening and bumpy ride!

I can’t believe how much the 1984 Pontiac Fiero looks like my old ‘88 Nissan Sentra SE!

Going to a Halloween party? Why not show up in style? In the spirit of Halloween, here are some famous, fantastical used vehicles from pop culture.

The Batmobile (Batman series) The Lamborghini of crime fighting vehicles, the Batmobile has progressed over the years with several different models. Features include grappling hooks, missiles and the ability to drive vertically up apartment buildings.

Ecto- 1 (Ghostbusters). Who can resist a classic Cadillac? This 1959 ambulance includes a step ladder to the roof, an ample supply of sirens and plenty of room to store your ghost sucking proton-packs.

1981 DeLorean (Back to the Future series). The ultimate time traveling ride, just make sure any of those 1950s babes you pick up aren’t your mom. Vertically opening doors are chick magnets.

Kit (Knight Rider). A talking car will certainly help fend off loneliness on those long trips home, and Kit isn’t nearly as snooty as that ONSTAR broad.

Flintstone Car (The Flintstones). While not actually a car per se, it is probably the only vehicle on the list you can make out of stuff from Home Depot.

General Lee (The Dukes of Hazard). This 1969 Dodge Charger is great for driving down alleys, outrunning the cops, jumping over streams and smashing through poorly made fences. Though that Confederate flag over the roof may be in poor taste…

1958 Plymouth Fury (Christine). Another classic car though it has a habit of possessing its owners and turning them evil. Looks great in red though.

Oscar-Myer Weiner Mobile (various advertisements). Complete with anti-lock brakes, six seats and a hotdog shaped instrument panel; the Weiner Mobile is a staple of Americana. The only downside to driving this delicious beast is that it is not as edible as it looks. Trust us, we’ve tried.

The notoriously desirable Lamborghini is not for the faint of heart and especially not for the faint of cash. Equipped with a 6.5 L V12 engine, the 2007 Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 can produce 633 bhp and can go from 0 to 100 km/hr in 3.4 seconds with a top speed reaching 340 km/h.

Complementing it’s incredible speed is its famously sleek design and scissor doors. With base costs standing around $300,000 US, getting behind the wheel of this supercar can be quite intimidating. For the adventurous (and somewhat loaded) spirits out there, here are some light-hearted tips for test driving the Lamborghini.

1. Eat a light lunch - Hair-pin turns at 110 km/h? You’re better off skipping McDonalds.
2. Wear your Sunday best - If your Sunday best is just Sunday OK, then rent a tux. The dealer may think you’re filming a Bond scene.
3. Rent out your nearest race track What’s the point in getting stuck in traffic when you can rev it up to 300 km/h? Well, I guess picking up chicks is always an option.
4. Park your POS a few blocks away from the dealership.If this isn’t possible, you can tell the dealer it’s a loaner.
5. Put on some loud tunes. It will deter you from imitating the sound of the engine.
6. Wear racing gloves. Sweaty palms on the steering wheel are a racing faux-pas.
7. Check your credit rating. No one is going to let you even breathe near the car without a credit check.
8. Bring lots of tissues. In case you break down when the dealer tells you the base price.
9. Buy several lottery tickets. See #8.
10. Consult your physician Driving a Lamborghini may leave you breathless with intense palpitations of the heart.

Well there you have it, ten things you should keep in mind if you want to cross the Lamborghini test-drive off your list of life goals. I recommend you get around to this before you try sky-diving. Godspeed!
