The Most American of American Automobiles


If there is any automobile manufacturer from the United States that is the most American of all, it has to be Chevrolet. And no other Chevy defines America even more than the Corvette and the Camaro.

While the Chevrolet Camaro is very American by American automobile standards, the Chevrolet Corvette is by far the most American Chevy because it has been around since 1953, while the Camaro debuted 13 years later.

On a related note, Happy 4th of July to all my American fans.

Slated For Bonus Stage Destruction


The car breaker bonus stage from Street Fighter 2 is one of the most iconic bonus levels in video game history. While it returned in Street Fighter 4, it's a pity it did not return in Street Fighter 5 or Street Fighter 6, and it definitely did not appear in Street Fighter X Tekken.

In this comic, we are going to talk about the vehicles that should be demolished in the car breaker bonus stage.

If Capcom took note of the Volkswagen Dieselgate scandal, they would have considered bringing back the car breaker bonus stage for future Street Fighter games and have a Volkswagen be the vehicle that's slated for destruction in the car breaker bonus stage. How's that for punishing an unscrupulous automaker that had its origins in the Nazi regime?

The Pontiac Aztek. The vehicle that killed Pontiac with its ugliness. It's a vehicle so ugly that Street Fighter characters would not give a second thought before destroying it in a car breaker bonus stage.

If there was one tank that deserves to be destroyed by Street Fighter characters, it's the Type 95 Ha-Go. With armor so thin that it can even be destroyed by an M1 Garand bolt action rifle, the Type 95 Ha-Go light tank would definitely be another vehicle that's slated for destruction via the car breaker bonus stage, although it would be a harder challenge than wrecking an average car.

The 2008 Fiat 500 had fantastic sales figures. However, if online reviews were anything, it was not a good car. It has terrible reliability issues and therefore, Street Fighter characters would have no problems about not giving a second thought before destroying it in a car breaker bonus stage.

The Chevrolet Citation is another unreliable vehicle that deserves to be destroyed in Street Fighter's car breaker bonus stage. Had it not been for the dodgy reliability issues, it would not have been a commercial failure, let alone appear in this comic...
