Green and with lots of blades. Really uncomfortable seats, though.

You'd need one of those text signs on the back end of the car that reads "Today IS a good day to die!!!"

Probably "mupwI' yI'uchtaH!"

...or something like that.

One thing though: I'll be Klingon customers know how to deal with ADMs and greedy dealers.

Consider ADMs at a Romulan dealership: they're so devious that you'd pay it and think you'd made the deal of the century...

I think you're thinking of the Ferengi, actually. Even though most of us are trying to forget them.

I think ADMs fall under the 72nd Rule of Acquisition.

And while we're on this subject, Eric Bana will make an excellent Romulan in the forthcoming film, but this guy is a BAD casting choice!

I always thought the Romulans were the masters of deception....

They are when it comes to military and intelligence maneuvering.

But as portrayed in ST:TNG and STS9, the Ferengi are the masters of economic and commerical deception. Remember Quark and the Grand Nagus?

God, I know way too much about this stuff.

Oh I remember the Ferengi but they always came across as basically stupid. I can only recall one episode with a Ferengi villain that was actually threatening instead of just weirdly comical.

The problem was that the Ferengi features on the show were pretty poor Ferengi. Quark was only a few steps above being a complete failure, and Rom was generally worse. But Moogi, Brunt, and some others were genjinely devious. Craven Cowards, but devious

With the Romulans, they'd give you an eerily good deal, but there'd be eavsdropping devices and bombs hidden in the car

The Klingon and Romulan muscle cars would have a cool cloaking feature though. And depending on how heavy your foot is, it could save you a lot of dough despite the ADM! (Can't believe it has gotten to this! )

Yeah, but what kind of muscle car would Steve McGarret drive?

That one's specially for you, hi5.0.

A black, de-badged, 1st-gen Cougar riding on black painted Torque Thrust wheels with a machined lip, sporting a 390/4spd combo. It can match the 4 door Mercury. Simply put, a Mercury version of Steve McQueen/Bullitt. Book 'em, Dano!

A more modern ride would be a Mercury Marauder stuffed with a Terminator engine.


soo... about the Tundra... LOL.
