    It was built from the most evil parts of the most evil cars in all the world! The steering wheel from Hitler's staff car. The left turn signal from Charles Manson's VW. The windshield wipers from that car that played Knight Rider!


    Knight Rider wasn't evil!


    His windshield wipers were. It didn't come up much in the show though.

    WTF is that? And why does it look like James Dean?

    The center mounted gas cap is neat, but it would drive me nuts every time I filled up and dripped gas all over the hood.

    So.... If I buy a replica 550, will I suffer a similar but not fully authentic curse?


    If I buy a Little Bastard model, will I suffer a 1:18 scale curse?

    @Tysto: You'll probably suffer a mere flesh wound.

    @1300ccsoffury: Yes, you'll be cursed by getting a piece of corn caught in your teeth or biting down on a sandwich with a toothpick in it.

    There's speculation that George still has the remains of the 550 and it will be revealed after his passing. He denies it but, as anyone who knows George will tell you, he is a true PR and marketing genius. This would be a grand exclamation point to his storied career.

    The Porsche didn't kill Dean, a Turnupseed did.

    I hear there's a similarly cursed Panamera. Nickname: Fat Bastard.
